"In "A Heart in Disguise," a young seamstress joins the U.S. camouflage corps during WWI and is assigned to sew camouflaged suits for snipers. Little does she know the threat of war isn't just overseas . . . until she overhears a threat against her beloved city. With the help of a wounded soldier, who happens to be her childhood friend, they investigate the mystery while a romance blooms. In "A Letter to Eli," while the rest of the world rages in war, Bette and Alice are lifelong friends working hard to live the tiny apartment dream in New York City. Eddie, Alice's fiancâe is bravely serving at sea, but Bette ended things with her boyfriend Eli before the ravages of war could take him from her. It's a lovely, pitter-patter life for these young women, until a letter comes revealing that, in a moment of well-meaning deception, Alice wrote to Eli on Bette's behalf. Now, with Eli back in the states, severely wounded, Bette must see if the love spun from innocent passion will stand up to the reality of tragedy. In "A Daffodil in the Dress," Kate and Ike have worked together at Finch Family Books for three years. But one spring day all that changes when Ike goes out of his way to bring a flower to Eloise, Kate's five-year-old daughter. That's when Kate realizes that Ike has feelings for her beyond friendship, and that she requites his affections. But can Kate risk falling in love when she has a child to raise? What happens when outside pressures threaten to barge in and try to sway Kate one way or the other?"--

Autorenporträt
CBA bestselling author Susie Finkbeiner is a story junkie. Always has been and always will be. It seems it's a congenital condition. After decades of reading everything she could get her hands on (except for See the Eel, a book assigned to her while in first grade, a book she declared unfit for her book-snob eyes), Susie realized that she wanted to write stories of her own. She began with epics about horses and kittens (but never, ever eels). In order to learn how to write novels, she read eclectically and adventurously. After reading the work of Lisa Samson, Patti Hill, and Bonnie Grove she realized that there was room for a writer like her in Christian fiction. Susie is also greatly inspired by the work of Jocelyn Green, Rachel McMillan, and Tracy Groot. Her first novels, Paint Chips (2013) and My Mother's Chamomile (2014) have contemporary settings. While she loved those stories and especially the characters, Susie felt the pull toward historical fiction. When she read Into the Free by Julie Cantrell she knew she wanted to write historical stories with a side of spunk, grit, and vulnerability. A Cup of Dust: A Novel of the Dust Bowl (2015), Finkbeiner's bestselling historical set in 1930s Oklahoma, has been compared to the work of John Steinbeck and Harper Lee (which flatters Susie's socks off). Pearl's story continues with A Trail of Crumbs: A Novel of the Great Depression (2017) and A Song of Home: A Novel of the Swing Era (2018). Susie Finkbeiner is a stay-at-home mom & speaker from West Michigan. She has served as fiction editor and regular contributor to the Burnside Writers Guild and Unbound magazine. Finkbeiner is an avid blogger (see www.susiefinkbeiner.com), is on the planning committee of the Breathe Christian Writers Conference, and has presented or led groups of other writers at several conferences. What does she have planned after that? More stories, of course. She's a junkie. She couldn't quit if she wanted to.
