Joyous Strains

She returned home broken. He’s determined to remind her of the joy she once knew.

When her brother died, Rowan Fischer thought life had taken everything from her. But the pain only compounded since leaving home, and it’s confirmed what she’s feared for a long time . . . God has abandoned her.

With nothing left, she has no choice but to return home to her granny’s empty cabin full of haunting memories.

Losing his sister and best friend in a car accident threw Carter Hollis into a dark place. Until God sent someone to rescue him from himself. Years later, he’s fulfilling his calling as a worship pastor when his best friend’s little sister moves across the road from him.

The grown-up version of Rowan is nothing like the free-spirited, joyful girl Carter remembers. Now he’s on a mission to remind Rowan of who she is and the joy that only God can offer her.

Will the love and prayers of long-time friends be enough to break through Rowan’s walls? Or will she continue to push God away and abandon Oakhaven forever?
