THE RHYTHM OF SECRETS

After reading Rhythm of Secrets by Patti Lacy, I feel like I've been on a lifelong journey through time and even to the farthest corners of the world with the heroine. The depth and layers in this book amazed me, and the frank portrayal of race relations and the treatment of unwed mothers made my heart ache. Music--oh, the music!--was like a soundtrack, and evoked memories of my musical days. There was so much life in this book! Set aside plenty of reading time, as Rhythm of Secrets is not to be rushed, but to be savored and enjoyed.

As if that's not enough, I just have to say that Patti is a sweet, sweet lady. Best wishes for success with this book, friend :D

ABOUT THE BOOK

Sheila Franklin has masqueraded as the precocious daughter of avant-garde parents in colorful 1940s New Orleans, a teen desperate for love and acceptance, and an unwed mother sent North with her shame.



After marrying Edward, Sheila artfully masks her secrets, allowing Edward to gain prominence as a conservative pastor. When one phone call from a disillusioned Vietnam veteran destroys her cover, Sheila faces an impossible choice: save her son and his beloved…or imperil Edward’s ambitions.



Inspired by a true story, The Rhythm of Secrets intermingles jazz, classical, and sacred music in a symphony trumpeting God’s grace.
