Tried With Fire (Leah Carson Series Book 1)
Author(s):

Torn from her loving home at a young age, Leah Carson was forced to grow up in the cold, cruel environment of her grandparents’ bakery in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia. What seems to outsiders like a delightfully sweet atmosphere is to Leah unending slavery for her money-driven grandpa, constant persecution for her Christian beliefs, and grinding days of stress and exhaustion in an atmosphere void of love. Added to Leah’s burdens are those ever-haunting memories of the tragedies of the past. Will she ever gain any ground in her struggle to be a bright light for Christ and win the hard-hearted atheists around her?

This stirring and suspenseful story will grip your heart, lift your faith, and challenge your commitment as you share in Leah’s tears, fears, and victories over her circumstances. A classic story of grit and grace, it will remind you that when life gets so tough you can hardly stand—kneel.

Newly married and settled into her new home in Winchester, Virginia, Leah Brooks eagerly embarks on a promising new life beyond Carson’s Bakery. Her days are soon filled with family and ministry, surrounded by her sister Cynthia’s family and sweetened with the fulfillment of helping her husband William at the little downtown mission, Turning Point Corner. With these new roles come new joys—as Leah embraces one by one the responsibilities of being a wife, aunt, and mother.

Life seems all sunshine, despite its trivial challenges. But tiring work days, ministry struggles, and a rocky new relationship with a condescending mother-in-law are not the only clouds to rise above the north Virginia hills. Through a mysterious accident and a shocking police discovery, Leah soon finds herself facing shadows from the past that have never truly been erased.

It all started on that November night when William didn’t come home.

In this suspenseful sequel to Tried With Fire, you’ll ride the edge of your seat through some thrilling turns and heart-grabbing twists, above all encountering the strongest force that can overcome our enemies: the love of Christ.
