Unlike most kids, teenage Katie Parker never got a fair shot at a normal life. With a mother in jail and a missing-in-action dad, she's never known what it's like to truly be loved. Low on options and family members, she's soon shipped off to a foster home. Now in an unfamiliar town, Katie's rebellious attitude is at odds with her new family, school, and classmates. And after falling in with all the wrong people at school, things go from bad to really bad after she takes the blame for vandalizing the local performing arts theater. But in the midst of a dark situation, Katie finds light in the most unexpected places: through her new friendship with an eccentric senior, the commitment of her foster family, and a tragic secret that changed them forever. And as she inches closer to acceptance and forgiveness, she finds that God has been there all along. |

Review from Christian Review of Books (CRoB)
All the Voices of the Wind is a delightfully believable and realistic love story from beginning to end. It follows the life of high school student Jeremy Dillon as he begins a promising senior year. Jeremy’s life is predictably derailed when fate places the beautiful Maria Masterson near him on his first day in school. |

There is a phenomenon sweeping the planet in the form of a little book with the picture of a dilapidated building on the cover. The Shack is number one in three categories (including Christian fiction) on the Amazon sales charts, number two at Barnes and Noble, and number fourteen on the USA Today list of books. Not too shabby. The book, which today is number eleven overall on the Yahoo sales chart, wasn't even written for publication but rather was created by a dad for his kids to read. How it ended up as the talk of a big chunk of the populace without Oprah's recommendation is a fairly significant mystery. Over 300,000 copies have been sold already and nobody I know has even heard of the book. |
