ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
All of Nancy’s novels have an added touch – something for your spirit as well as your soul. “I welcome the opportunity to share my faith through my writing,” Nancy says. “It’s a part of me and of everything I think or do. God is number one in my life. I wouldn’t be writing at all if I didn’t believe that this is what He’s called me to do. I hope everyone who reads my books will walk away with the most important message I can give them: God is good, and He loves you more than you can imagine. He has a good plan especially for your life, and there is nothing you can’t overcome with His help.”

My Review:
I enjoyed this book. I have read a couple of Nancy's cozy mysteries so was excited to read this book. Nancy has a way of writing a mystery that really draws you in. I loved watching the story unwind and wondering who was causing behind the happenings in Harmony. Gracie befriends some of the locals and sees how they have been hurt by a church and how sometimes churches seem to forget about there members in looking to reach out to others. I found the comments very relevant and agree yes we do want to bring others into the Christian fold but we also need to make sure we care for the members already in the fold. Gracie uncovers a secret from the past that brings up lots of emotions from many people and its interesting what happens from here.
I really enjoyed the story and cant wait for the next book in the series.
