SOWN IN PEACE ~ Back Cover Blurb
Victoria (Tori) Archer has the heart of a soldier. Taken down by an IED during her fourth deployment, she’s permanently separated from her military career and left with physical scars as well as PTSD. Moving back to her hometown of Three Rivers, Michigan, she’s forced by circumstances to live with an irascible and unsympathetic aunt. Tori’s battle with pain, horrific memories, and loss of independence creates a deep yearning for peace. Will God grant her even a small measure of it?

The Author of My Story: Joy Avery Melville
Joy Avery Melville's heart’s desire is to be the author God has called her to be by sharing Him with readers in such a way they long to have a deeply committed personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord.
Fully intending to write Historical Romance—had in fact— she had no plans to deviate from that. God had something else in mind for that ‘call’ He’d made on her life back in 1967. A mere eighth grader at the time, she had no clue about the topics she’d be drawn to write about.
Surrendering to the genre God placed on her heart has given Joy new insight into the hearts and lives of those who too often hurt in silence.
The settings of Joy’s books are near where she lives in Schoolcraft, Michigan with her husband of nearly 47 + years and their 21 mo-old Yorkie, Is-A-Bella Bindi, (Is-a-beautiful little girl) who thinks she’s a much larger breed with tomboy tendencies.
Joy loves to hear from readers and will respond!

This sounds like an awesome story. Can't wait to read it, Joy! Do you have a military background? Or, perhaps someone close which you have drawn from for your stories? God Bless, CatherineUlrichBrakefield@yahoo.com
P.S. Keep up the great writing.
Good morning, Catherine ~
I DO have some family members who've served our country, but God gave me this idea of the story ~ THEN ~ He gave me resources who I have spent hours with via email, phone, in person, and via chat.
The two men God brought to me have given much of themselves to make this fiction story very real! They've become family to me!
Thanks for your comment- and thank you for including your email!
Joy, I absolutely love the book cover! The story sounds just as wonderful! I look forward to reading it.
Thank you, Anneliese!
The inset on the cover holds a very special significance in the story!
I can't wait until you read the novel and discover that portion.
I appreciate your comment here - will enter you in the drawing for next Wed evening.
The cover really caught my eye, and the story sounds fresh and different. I'd love to read it!
Joy, I’m eager to read your next story! As a grandmother to four military people, three of them currently serving, I consider us to be a military family. We have an army medic, army reserve (intelligence), navy and marine. So anything your story can inform us about military life will be shared well with our children and grandchildren! I know you research well and look forward to your book!
God bless you for writing, and God bless all those who willingly serve our country so we can enjoy freedom!
