Synopsis

Birdie sings of God’s love.

But does she believe He can forgive even her?

Desperate to simply survive, Birdie Clarkson was driven to a life in a house of ill repute. Now she longs only for escape. So when Reverend Isaiah Overly and his son, Ephraim, appear and offer a better life, she jumps at the chance. Ignoring the furious raging of the madam, Birdie climbs into the back of the preacher’s wagon.

The men take her to Hope Hill, the haven the reverend and his wife, Ophelia, founded so women like Birdie can be taught skills to help them rise above their pasts. Soon a resistant Birdie finds herself singing in the choir Ephraim leads at revival meetings, even though she’s certain she’s the last person who should be representing God.

Reverend Overly teaches that no one is irredeemable, but even as Ephraim is falling in love with her, Birdie remains convinced that she’s past saving. After all she’s been through, can she ever believe that God’s redemption wipes every soul clean? And can Ephraim convince her that God loves her more than she can
grasp—and that he does, too?

Inspired by historical events.

Such a sweet story of redemption, love, forgiveness and starting again. I loved every single character, and just adored the dynamics between Birdie and just about everyone. Especially Mrs Overly. I also really loved how Lidas story developed, and how her character tied into the story. The only thing......more

This was a beautiful story of redemption and overall, I did love it. There were certain parts that I wish were different. But with that being said, the beautiful theme of redemption and hope and surrendering your life to Jesus was wonderful and honest! This does deal with heavier topics, but it’s ha......more
