SUMMARY
(from Amazon)
When trouble roars into quiet Arborville, Alexa and Anna-Grace find
themselves the target for discord and exposed secrets. Can they continue
to seek the God of all grace amidst the fog of confusion?
Alexa Zimmerman wonders if the Old Order Mennonite community in Arborville, Kansas will ever fully accept her. Her family roots here aren’t what anyone thought when she first arrived, but she is hopeful that her culinary and hospitality skills will win the skeptics over. The bed-and-breakfast she’s operating needs to succeed so Alexa agrees to allow Briley Forrester, the hotshot reporter from Chicago, to stay as a long-term boarder not knowing his real motives for being amongst the Plain folk.
But when Alexa agrees to host her cousin Anna-Grace Braun, the presence of extended family brings out Alexa’s insecurities and sets Briley on the trail to uncovering a web of hidden truths.
Plans for a secure future and the sweetness of young romance hang in the balance when Alexa and Anna-Grace have to face that their secrets are interconnected, binding the two in ways they could not have imagined. They must trust in a loving, heavenly Father and His plan for their futures.

REVIEW
WHEN GRACE SINGS picks up where WHEN MERCY RAINS left off. This is the story of the Zimmerman family in Modern day life. Alexa finally finds herself in a new chapter of her life. She works t make her dreams come true. She wants to be a successful business woman and a member of t he Zimmerman family. Something happens when some distant relatives come to stay at her B&B along with an outsider who appears rather strange. This is where Alexa's security and stability, she thought she had gets put to the test.
The author, MS. Kim Sawyer is a talented writer with an amazing gift of words. She has a way of drawing you into the story and making you part of it. As you turn the pages, you find yourself seeing bits and pieces of your own life in each of the characters. You may find pieces of who you are and who you want to be. The author teaches through the pages that religious and cultural difference can be the same for all of us. We all have the desire to belong, to make happy those we love, the struggle to find out what we want to be in our lives. All of these decisions make a difference to us and those around us.
I was given a complimentary copy of WHEN GRACE SINGS from the author, Kim Vogel Sawyer and Blogging For Books for my view of the book.
I would give this book 5 STARS.
