Wishing on Dandelions

Portrait of Books, Book Tour, Interview, Writing


I just had the privilege of sitting in Mary DeMuth's class at ACFW. After I heard her speak I fell in love with her love and passion for the Lord and sharing his message. I haven't yet read the first book to this wonderful series, but if it's anything like her class this week, you're in for a spiritual journey and entertaining ride.

Thank you Mary, for your being willing to write "truth" and your passion!

And now...Wishing on Dandelions.

God says I love you in many ways, some of which are hard to hear. Maranatha needs to hear God's voice. At seventeen, Natha admittedly has some trust issues. Though the abuse by a neighbor boy has stopped, Natha is anything but healed. Now her best friend has left for college, the trials of dating have begun, and God, ever since he spoke to her underneath the pecan tree years ago, has remained elusive. So when brash Georgeanne Peach blows in to take over the only place that's ever felt like home, leaving a trail of peach fabric swatches and cloying perfume, it's easy to understand how something like a little ol' tornado might not be a big deal. Like every teenager, Natha tries to sort out the confusing layers of love-of friends, of family, of suitors, and, desperately, of God. Natha struggles to find herself before she gives in to the shadow of a girl she used to be in this moving follow-up to the critically praised Watching the Tree Limbs.
