Small Town Harmony by Milla Holt
Publisher: Reinbok Limited (Released: 5 February 2025)
Faith, fame, and family collide as a Christian music power couple hides a secret discord.
Ezra Falconer’s career with his brothers’ band always took center stage while his shy wife Martha was content to play a supporting role in the background. That all changed when Martha’s hidden talent was discovered and she became a breakout singing star. Shedding her frumpy image, her old-timey name, and 100 extra pounds, she transformed into the sultry and sophisticated “Morgan.”
Ezra, grappling with his own career setbacks, struggles to reconcile the confident superstar with the unassuming woman he married.
Martha returns from a sell-out international tour to a marriage on shaky ground. Unprepared for the pressures of fame, she navigates new opportunities that threaten to pull her and her husband even further apart.
As they hide their crumbling marriage from family, friends and fans, Ezra and Martha are asked to collaborate on a charity album, forcing them to confront the growing silence between them. How can they rediscover harmony while they’re singing in different keys?
El Shaddai by Jo Wanmer
Publisher: Armour Books (Released: 26 January 2025)
Milly’s repeating nightmare of a tsunami terrifies her. Her husband, Dan, has a contrary dream of promise, prosperity and a safe shelter for those who need healing.
Her vision crashes into reality, leaving her stranded with two other woman and five small children. In the aftermath of a series of earthquakes, a tidal wave and a nuclear radiation leak, there is no way home, and no escape from their isolated plateau. Can she find enough food and water for them to survive as they wait for Dan… but is he even alive? And where is God in the midst of catastrophe?
