The Songbird of Hope Hill

A young woman sings of God's love--even if she doesn't believe He can forgive her--in this heartwarming novel inspired by historical events, from the bestselling author of A Tapestry of Grace.

"An unforgettable story of God's grace and redemption."--Kathleen Y'Barbo, author of The Black Midnight

Driven by survival to a life at a house of ill repute, Birdie Clarkson now longs only for escape. So when Reverend Isaiah Overly and his son, Ephraim, appear and offer a better life, she jumps at the chance. Ignoring the furious raging of the madam, Birdie climbs into the back of the preacher's wagon.

The men take her to Hope Hill, the haven the reverend and his wife, Ophelia, founded so women like Birdie can be taught skills to help them rise above their pasts. Soon a resistant Birdie finds herself singing in the choir Ephraim leads at revival meetings, even though she's certain she's the last person who should be representing God.

Reverend Overly teaches that no one is irredeemable, but even as Ephraim is falling in love with her, Birdie remains convinced that she's past saving. After all she's been through, can she ever believe that God's redemption wipes every soul clean? And can Ephraim convince her that God loves her more than she can grasp--and that he does, too?
