Description
Can a brand-new marriage withstand the weight of generations-old baggage?
Newlyweds Amelia and Marcus Sheffield are recent college grads, trying to stay afloat in LA while searching for their dream jobs. Marcus hopes to become a mega-church pastor. Amelia has an esteemed music degree, and longs to play piano professionally. The Sheffields are clearly city people.
But when a small town church offers
Marcus a job, the couple's dedication to their dreams and each other is
tested. After a risky compromise is made, Amelia falls into a dark
emotional place, where she finds skeletons she'd fought hard to deny. In
desperation, she calls out to God. But why can't she find Him? While
Amelia struggles, Marcus learns news that nearly crushes him. He must
lean on his faith to withstand the pressure... or risk losing his wife
forever.
Alison Strobel,
whose father, award-winning author Lee Strobel, instilled her with a
love of stories at a young age, has written four novels, including Reinventing Rachel. She has also written the children's books That's Where God Is and That's When I talk to God with her husband Dan Morrow. She lives in Colorado with her husband and two daughters.
Advance Praise
Alison Strobel keeps getting better and better. Composing Amelia is a novel I consider to be a lasting work of fiction. Within its pages, Strobel plumbs the depths of emotion in a subject fraught with prejudice and misinformation within the church. With characters your heart will embrace, it is a story of pride and depression without being depressive. From the first page until the last, I was caught up in Marcus and Amelia's world, unwilling to stop reading. A beautiful love story, you'll see God's grace through unconditional love. Alison Strobel is quickly proving she has what it takes to be a bestselling author, book after book. Novel Journey and I give it our highest recommendation. It is a 5-star must read. Bravo, Alison!
