My Name Is Sam…and Heaven Is Still Shining Through by Author, Joe Siccardi

Posted By Audiobook Librarian Leave a Comment

Sit down with a cup of coffee or a nice glass of wine and visit with Sam as she speaks a lifetime of memories in this new Christian-themed fictional memoir. “My Name Is Sam…and Heaven Is Still Shining Through” is a follow-up to the breakout novella Heaven Shining Through.

Thw audiobook introduces Sam (Samantha), her family, and her friends in more detail than the original and picks up where the novella left off. I hope listeners get to know Sam as a friend, a lifelong friend. Share her life…complete with some drama, some humor, some heart tugs. Just a free-willed suburban Jersey girl trying to figure out this journey called life with the presence of God in an ordinary life as the underlying theme.

One reader shared: “This is such an amazing story from beginning to end! There were times of happiness, laughter and reminders of what it was like growing up but, the reality of life and God’s plan for each life he created was evident in the tears that could be shed…not only in the life of Samantha, but also in this reader of this fantastic book. I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking for the real answers out there that might only be found with “heaven is still shining through”.

Undercover Amish by Ashley Emma

She watched her house burn down with her family inside.
She killed her abusive husband in self-defense.

Detective Olivia Mast swore she’d never return to her former Amish community in Unity, Maine, where it all happened. She’d rather run through gunfire than go back there, but she has her orders.

The community refuses to seek justice after a murder, so Olivia must don her prayer kapp once more to investigate. She’s the only one in her unit able to blend in as one of the Amish and get information from them.

Because she’s going undercover, she has to deceive her community and family by letting them think she wants to rejoin the Amish and come home for good.

To top it all off, she must also covertly protect the man she dated as a teenager, Isaac Troyer, who somehow looks even better now than he did back then. But that’s beside the point. They aren’t the teenagers they used to be.

When Olivia returns to Unity, Isaac Troyer believes he’s getting a second chance at love.

Though a plain cabinet maker, he’s a target. And he has no idea Olivia is now an undercover detective carrying a 9mm under her skirts.

When Olivia realizes she needs Isaac help most of all because of his connections to the suspect, she must tell him the truth. Will Isaac be willing to break sacred Amish rules in order to help Olivia stop the murderer?

Undercover Amish was a finalist in Maine Romance Writers Strut Your Stuff Competition 2015 where it received 26 out of 27 points!
