A NOTE FROM CINDY ~For all book lovers, on this blog spot I post information of a recently released book written by a Christian author I know. Unless stated otherwise, I haven’t read the book yet. I have one book to share with you this week.

 
The Oak Leaves by Maureen Lang:

Talie Ingram has an ideal life: a successful, devoted
husband, a beautiful one-year-old son, and another
child on the way. But her world is shattered when she
discovers a shocking family secret in the
nineteenth-century journal of her ancestor Cosima
Escott. Only in reading Cosima’s words can Talie make
peace with the legacy she’s inherited and the one
she’s passed on to her son.

From Library Journal: “A tender account of
unconditional love and the deeper joy that results
from overcoming the odds, Lang’s latest is recommended
for all collections…”

Book One of The Sword of Lyric series has garnered critical praise for its unique blend of fantasy genre and contemporary women’s fiction voice, and went into a second printing only a few months after releasing. The story unfolds the adventure of a modern-day mom pulled through a portal into another world where a nation grappling for its soul waits for a promised Restorer.

ECHOES

by Kristen Heitzmann

ECHOES is the conclusion to SECRETS and UNFORGOTTEN. Even in the midst of her affectionate and chaotic Italian family, Sofie Michelli feels alone. For too long, she has been caught in a net of loss and despair. It is time to let go, to start again.
Rese is not sure what to make of Lance Michelli’s healing gift, but she feels protective of this humbled version of the swaggering man ho turned her life inside out. As they find new footing, the Sonoma villa she renovated becomes a refuge for the downtrodden—including Lance’s sister Sofie.
Driven to protect the innocent, Child Protective Service worker Matt Hammond reserves judgment on the unconventional caregivers of the abandoned infant—who both concern and fascinate him—but he is especially drawn to Sofie, the mesmerizing woman with a dancer’s poise, eyes like dark copper pennies—and scars on her wrists.
