Publisher's Description
Ava has a loving family, a beautiful house, and a solid faith. Suddenly, her ideal life will be completely broken... in the best of ways. Ava’s life is full of great things. Her daughter is getting married to just the right guy, her husband’s company has kept them financially successful for years, her son is thriving as a high-school football player, and the ministry she started is keeping her busy as she reaches out to those with “broken hearts.” Then it all falls apart. Ava’s safe world becomes unanchored, and she is forced to face the childhood she’s run away from her entire life. Just as she’s trying to sift through the pieces, the doorbell rings and Ava is confronted with the surprise of her life. Ava must set out on a journey that takes her back home. Along the way, she encounters God in new and unexpected ways. She sees she's been hiding her brokenness behind good deeds and the comforts of a safe life. Learning what it means to lose it all is just the start of Ava’s journey—as is the new song God is writing on her heart.

“Rich with symbolism and picturesque Texas landscape, Song of the Brokenhearted is a reminder that our plan for our life is often not in sync with God’s. Readers will enjoy walking alongside Ava on her journey of self-discovery. Sometimes in the most broken places of life comes true transformation, setting us on the path that can only be seen through God’s eyes. Highly recommended.”
“Lessons in grace abound in this heart-tugging story of broken pasts and futures filled with unexpected hope. In Ava’s struggle to trust and in her eventual triumph, many readers will find pieces of their own stories.”
“This heartwarming tale comes from a talented duo. Cindy’s gift of lush storytelling is an ideal match for Sheila’s lovely insights into enduring relationships. Sweet Sanctuary beautifully portrays the complexities of a mother’s heart.”
“As a child I assumed that some families (not mine) were perfect. Eventually I grew up and figured out how wrong I was. That’s probably why I appreciate Sweet Sanctuary. Peeling back layers of heartbreaks and secrets, Wren struggles to understand her family’s old wounds and how they impact her own life . . . an important story of forgiveness, healing and hope.”
