House of Living Stones

Small-town life comes with its quirks--secrets whispered in the choir loft, wisdom shared in the pews, and grace that quietly holds it all together. Welcome to Bradbury, Illinois, where small-town rhythms shape everyday life and church doors are rarely closed. Here, sharp-eyed secretaries, bulletin mishaps, homemade applesauce, and choir drama reveal both the humor and heartache of a close-knit community. When new choir director Emily Duke arrives, she brings a guarded heart--and a remarkable gift for music. She soon finds herself face-to-face with a stubborn organist, a well-meaning but overextended pastor, and a congregation where everyone seems to know everyone else's business. As rehearsals falter and tensions rise, Emily begins to discover that beneath the gossip and grudges lies something deeper. In this warm and perceptive novel, readers will: Follow Emily's first uneasy rehearsals with a choir full of strong personalities Experience the humor and friction of church life up close Watch old wounds, quiet struggles, and everyday conflicts meet unexpected mercy From mishaps in the church office to moments of hard-won comfort, House of Living Stones paints a vivid portrait of community life--messy, musical, and sustained by a grace that refuses to let go.
