Mary Lindsay is a born and bred Londoner who has enjoyed her city life-a prestigious job, and friends with whom she takes in the city pleasures of theatre, art and music. But fleeting memories of a childhood visit to her father’s elderly cousin out in the country are revived with the news that the woman has willed her home, the Laurels, to Mary. She makes an uncharacteristically sudden and life-changing decision to leave London for the country. The gradual unfolding of her understanding of herself, of the now-deceased woman who has bequeathed her home to Mary, and of the people of Appleshaw, all weave together in a most memorable story of love’s redemptive power.
Joy Ohagwu is a “new to me author”. Until recently I have not had the privilege of reading any of her books. And that is a shame because I had no idea what I was missing out on.
What I loved most about two of her books, Whisper and Hunter, is that on almost every page, Christianity is boldly present. Not just a mention of Christ here, a Scripture dropped there, or a few words of a prayer sprinkled throughout. No. They are present and organically relevant to the main characters and the storyline.
The main characters are Christian, but just like real Christians, they are not perfect. They struggle with the same issues that everyone else does. Unmet expectations, broken dreams, grief, loss and, unfortunately, the consequences of mistakes made when we are in the midst of those emotions.
The characters are likeable and relatable, the chapter hooks are engaging and the content is strong with believable and plausible situations.
This is not one of those books where you’ll have to guess whether its Christian fiction. The Light of Christ shines from the pages while still pulling you into the story and leaving you wanting more.
My Goodreads rating for this novel is five stars and my Fiction With Faith Candle and Bread rating for this book is also five stars. The goodness of God, the Light of the Christian faith, and spiritual nourishment are tastefully abundant in these novels.
Joy Ohagwu is an amazing storyteller. And she just found herself a new fan.
Based on a true story, Dan Walsh’s award-winning novel, The Deepest Waters was inspired by true events that happened in September 1857.
The story is centered around three people. John and Laura Foster, and Micah, a slave aboard the rescue ship, the Cutlass.
The Foster’s are newlyweds who decide to set sail for a surprise visit to John’s family in New York. However, a violent change in the weather changes everything. John and Laura are heartbreakingly separated when a much smaller ship arrives with only enough room to rescue the women and children.
Micah is a slave aboard that ship, and he and Mrs. Foster form a friendship that changes both of their lives forever.
My Goodreads rating for this novel is five stars and my Candle and Bread rating for this book is also five stars. Dan Walsh weaved the goodness of God, the Light of the Christian faith, and storytelling seamlessly throughout this novel while also leaving the reader with plenty of spiritual nourishment to chew on long after the last page is turned.

This month’s featured new release was Deadly Doll by ACFW Mystery/Thriller/Suspense author Brooke Cox. Today’s feature is the story behind the story.
I am an old tomboy who loves mystery and adventure stories. I started making up stories before I learned to write. My first published writings were children short stories, skits and poetry. Now I am venturing into Mystery. I have always enjoyed reading Agatha Christie and Mary Higgins Clark. I thought if they can do it; I can too.
It’s not easy being the little odd ball. Brooksie, the main character, is different from the rest of her family. Even though they love her, she still doesn’t ever fit in completely. That was me growing up. I realized at an early age that I was different from my family. Do you remember the old cartoons where the stork would bring the baby to the parents? I used to joke my stork crashed landed at the wrong hospital.
That was the initial inspiration behind my book. I wanted to reach out to others who didn’t always fit in either. I wanted Brooksie to use her uniqueness to solve a mystery that nobody else in her family could. You don’t have to conform to please other people; just be the person Jesus created you to be.
Even though “Deadly Doll” is fiction, there is some reality in it. The doll on the cover is real. It’s my mother’s doll that my great grandfather sent back to her from Alaska while he was working there. It was hand made by Eskimos.
There was a small room off my grandparent’s attic that I would sneak into quite often. I would move old furniture out of the way as quietly as I could. Then I had to lift an old wooden plank from the doorway. And I had a flashlight hidden in my shirt. It was so exciting to turn it on and peer in at all the old stuff that was put away and forgotten about. I used to imagine all kinds of adventures there.
While writing “Deadly Doll,” it took on a life of its own. The more I worked on it, the more complicated it became. And I loved it. That’s when I realized how much I enjoy plotting out and writing mysteries.
Deadly Doll was released by Mantle Rock Publishing and is available on Amazon. To get your copy of this hot new release click here!
