Böcker av Emily Sue Harvey

Emily Sue Harvey's work touches readers in profound ways. Coffee Time Romance called Song of Renewal, "a must-read book for anyone doing a little soul searching." Of Flavors, Black Diamond's Book Reviews said, ¿I loved everything about this book! This is just an all around excellent book that is sure to bring memories back from times when life was a lot more simple.¿ And, in speaking of Homefires, The Book Tree said, "Emily Sue Harvey has now become a new favorite author for me after reading this book."Now, in Space, Emily Sue delivers us a deeply moving story of a family on the brink. Dan and Deede Stowe have worked for years, planning and saving for their idyllic retirement years. Just when they finally are about to realize their dream, their adult, recovering drug-addict daughter, Faith, moves back in with them and everything changes. Their ¿miracle child¿, complete with druggie baggage, upsets the tranquil balance of the Stowe's existence. Private romantic moments evaporate. Faith's endless needs intrude hour by hour, devouring both their finances, their emotions, and most crucially, their space. In turn, Faith finds herself bereft of everything she cherished most, her health, her marriage, her child, her family, her reputation and, most of all, a space to call her own.Amid chaotic challenges, all three battle to find peace with each other, a harmony that doggedly eludes them. For the sake of family solidarity, each is forced to sacrifice elemental components of self, until desperation turns them one against the other. Will love be enough to turn the tide? Is it strong enough to warm again hearts grown cold?Space is a vivid, candid, and life-affirming story from a masterful storyteller of the heart.

Emily Sue Harvey's first novel, Song of Renewal, was praised by New York Times bestselling author Jill Marie Landis as ¿an uplifting, heartwarming story,¿ by bestselling author Kay Allenbaugh as a work that will ¿linger in the memory long after readers put it aside,¿ and by Coffee Time Romance as ¿a must-read book for anyone doing a little soul searching.¿ New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry said, ¿It captures your attention, and whets your appetite for more,¿ while Peeking between the Pages called it ¿quite simply a beautiful book.¿Her second novel, Homefires is set in the Deep South's Bible-belt on the eve of unprecedented moral changes. It is the story of Janeece and Kirk Crenshaw, a couple married just after their high school graduation who set out to make a life for themselves. It is a life marked by surprises, none more dramatic than when Kirk receives his ¿high-calling¿ and becomes a pastor. It is a life marked by tragedy, the most heart-rending of which is the death of one of their children. And it is a life marked by challenges: to their church, to their community, and most decidedly to their marriage. And as the fullness of time makes its impact on their union, Kirk and Janeece must face the question of whether they have gone as far as they can together.Filled with the rich emotions and evocative characters that readers have come to expect from Emily Sue Harvey, and reminiscent of the work of Jan Karon and Anne Rivers Siddons Homefires is a poignant and compelling novel that will steal readers' hearts.
