Title: Songs for a Sunday

Author: Heather Norman Smith

Publisher: Iron Stream Fiction

Release Date: February 7, 2023

Genre: Christian Women’s Fiction/Southern Fiction/Split Time

Two sets of sisters, generations apart–can one big sister’s sacrifice teach the other about love and forgiveness?

1963: Twenty-year-old Annie dreams of managing the dance studio where she has trained since childhood and of marrying her high-society boyfriend. But when her younger sister with special needs gets pregnant, Annie is forced to set her dreams aside for the sake of family.

Present Day: Missy Robbins has always lived in her younger sister’s shadow. When given the opportunity, Missy steps out of her comfort zone as stay-at-home mom of four to prove she’s as good a singer as Erica. Missy’s new pursuit puts her on a path to self-discovery and reclaiming her discarded faith. Until she discovers her grandmother has a sixty-year-old secret.

Will Missy conceal Grandma Annie’s deception or will she be forced to reveal the hidden truth?

EXCERPT

“She can’t take care of a baby.” Mama pressed at her temples with the heels of her hands.
“We can’t take care of a baby. Don’t you see, Annie? It would be better off not to be born.” The
eerie calm of her voice broke over into sobbing. This once strong woman, who’d withstood the
pains of birth, death, and poverty, fell onto the table in a heap of fearful sorrow.
“Mama, now listen to me.” For the first time Annie could remember, her own mother
needed a scolding, and backward as it was, Annie was the only one there to do it. With her jaw
clenched and a fire in her belly, she stood and pulled Mama by the arms into an upright position.
“That’s your own flesh and blood you’re talking about. A living soul. And if you believe the
Bible like you say you do, then you know that tiny person already looks like God somehow. It
says so. You know it’s true. Made in His image.”
