Softly and Tenderly

Thomas Nelson | Named Booklist Top Ten Inspirationals 2011

Songbird Novel 2 from multi-platinum recording artist Sara Evans and Rachel Hauck.

Popular country-singer/writer Evans (“A Little Bit Stronger”) and talented Christian fiction author Hauck have teamed up to pen this second installment in Jade’s journey (The Sweet By and By, 2010). Hang on for an emotional ride as a woman who “married into a Southern soap opera” learns to forgive and trust again. -- Starred Booklist Review

The second collaborative effort between Evans and Hauck is realistic and touching. The characters' motivations and reactions to situations will cause readers to think and examine their own hearts. -- Romantic Times

From the back cover...

Maybe out there in the country she could catch her breath, learn to breathe again…
Happily married, and owner of two successful boutiques, Jade longs to begin a family with her husband, Max. But when she discovers that Max has an illegitimate son - who he wants her to help raise - Jade's life is turned upside down.
She flees to her childhood home, a rambling Iowa farmhouse, with enough room to breathe. There - while her mother's health grows fragile, and the tug of her first love grows stronger - Jade begins to question everything she thought she knew about family, love, and motherhood.
In the wide-open landscape, Jade begins to see a future that doesn't rest on the power of her past, but in the goodness of God's tender mercies.
