A Wednesday Spotlight! Linda Broday

I had the urge to hop on here and shine a spotlight on the work of someone very special to me, my big sister, Linda Broday!

About a year and a half ago, she was diagnosed with bladder cancer and it had spread to one kidney. That kidney had to be removed, leaving her with only one. At that time, she was quite sure her writing career was over.

Well, guess what??

She’s far from being done. With over forty books published, she’s still going and today I want to shine a spotlight on some of her most recent work!

BLURB:

Faith is the little bird that sings when the night is still dark.

After suffering a devastating accident, Rachel Malloy wakens with a stranger. He bears no resemblance to her perception of God, nor does he have a halo so she must not be dead. Regardless, after taking her entire family and leaving her, she and God are not exactly on speaking terms.

Rancher Heath Lassiter has prayed fervently and long for a wife. Is she the one? The appearance of a rare white dove shortly afterward seems to be a sign.

Despite Heath’s unwavering faith and kindness, Rachel refuses to marry him. Dark secrets haunt, secrets that blacken her name, making marriage to anyone impossible. Though disappointed, Heath rebuilds her burned-out house. There, her world again shifts with the discovery of a newborn near her family’s graves and a white dove perching nearby.
Love grows as Heath becomes a constant in her life. Yet Rachel lives in fear of losing this baby. When the infant becomes very ill, she desperately promises God she’ll return to her forsaken faith if He’ll heal the child. But first light brings uncertainty. Will the dove return as a symbol of divine mercy, or will Rachel’s fragile faith be shattered once more?

Christmas? It’s nothing to celebrate and brings memories of everything he seeks to forget.

When a horrendous accident leaves Jericho Cane disfigured, he retreats to the dark refuge of his childhood home. People label him a monster, a phantom. Only while the town sleeps can he find courage to venture out and seek solace in midnight rides.

But who is making mysterious repairs to broken items, leaving food on doorsteps and wooden angels on children’s graves?

Newly arrived, Irish doctor Kathleen O’Shea, has no fear of Jericho Cane. Armed with determination, she offers hope where he can live again. Still, can he thrive walking in daylight amongst the ones who call him a monster? If she fails, the darkness will consume him for good.

A holiday read that will touch your heart and remind you that Christmas is a time of acceptance, kindness, and for healing wounds.

I loved this story so much and it is a great demonstration of acceptance and healing.

My sister does not know I am doing this post. I just decided to spotlight some of her work. I get to visit with her and our brother this weekend and looking forward to it. I hope you see something here you can’t live without! I know she will deeply appreciate it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
