The Songbird of Hope Hill (2024)
Kim Vogel Sawyer
"What a precious story of God's grace and redemption! Kim Vogel Sawyer writes with poignant precision, weaving stories with depth that draw in her readers. The Songbird of Hope Hill had my full attention from its absorbing start to its tender finish, leaving me teary-eyed - and longing for a sequel. Splendid!"
