When the young wife of a powerful lumber baron vanishes into the wilds of frontier Michigan, her friend is left to unravel the truth in this captivating dual-timeline novel from bestselling author Lynn Austin.

1873. After a devastating loss, Hannah Wagner never imagined she'd leave her comfortable home for the harsh, unfamiliar wilderness near Lake Michigan. But when Henry Abernathy--a friend of her husband, John--offers them a fresh start in a booming lumber town, where John's skills as a doctor are sorely needed, Hannah reluctantly agrees. There, she meets Kate, Henry's spirited, much younger wife. Kate's sharp tongue and outsider status have made her unwelcome among the town's elite, and when she begins confiding in Hannah, it's clear her marriage is not what it seems . . . and that a secret from her past could destroy everything.

Present day. Ashley Gilbert never planned to settle in Michigan, but when her husband lands his dream job as a conservationist, she agrees to follow. While restoring their historic home--built in the 19th century for a doctor and his wife--Ashley becomes captivated by its past and its connection to the nearby Abernathy mansion, now being transformed into a museum. While volunteering with the restoration, she stumbles upon the unsolved mystery of Kate Abernathy's disappearance. What begins as curiosity soon becomes a quest for the truth--one that will connect her to two women whose stories and struggles echo and inspire her own.

Excellent, inspirational, challenging
Format: Kindle
Stasi doesn't just support her vision that God wants us live joyously with scripture, she acknowledges the challenges to that, the pain we experience in life, and then gives us practical advice for applying God's love through those times to become deeper, better, more loving individuals on the other side. I wish I had read this book before my Daddy was called home, but I guess I wouldn't have been the same person if I hadn't experienced that pain alone. Defiant Joy leads you beyond surface Christianity and challenges you to see God more closely.

Standing Up for Joy Even When You Dont Feel Like it!
Format: Kindle
Admittedly, i wanted this to be a faster read. I could point my finger at the author, but rather I recognized that God wanted it slow. Just for me. To give me option to savor and hear what He had to say to me about being resilient. And that He is the reason I am resilient. If you're stuck in your head, stuck in the dark, stuck in a bad relationship (work or home), cant see the way forward, I invite you to pause and sit with this very good read!
