I don’t think I can ever explain to you how much it moves and honors me when I meet readers or receive email from you saying that you enjoyed one of my books. When you ask if there’s another one coming it’s especially exciting. Honestly, when I wrote Margaret’s Faith I don’t think I imagined I’d ever write another one. Then there was Replacing Ann, followed by Plans for Emma, and I am so thrilled to tell you that Gracie’s Babies is now available!

In the next few weeks I’ll tell you a little more about the story, the inspiration behind it and even my plans for the next book.

The books are available online at Amazon.com – both in print and ebook formats. By next week you’ll be able to pick-up a copy at Hall’s Family Pharmacy in both their Jamestown and Clarkrange locations, the Homestead Tower Museum in Crossville, or, if you’re up in the Smokies, you can find a copy at French’s Shoes and Boots either in Sevierville or in Pigeon Forge. As I make those deliveries, I’ll post on Facebook so you can have realtime updates if you follow Author Beth Durham (@AuthorBethDurham).

As always, I really hope you will leave a review on Amazon as that’s a great way to spread the word that the book is out there and worth your time to read it.

Following is the synopsis from the back of the book so you’ll have an idea of what’s inside:

While accompanying her grandmother on a neighborhood visit, Gracie Berai learns a skill that will change her life when she must deliver the young woman’s baby. Gracie is terrified as events spin around her but Grandma Elmore immediately recognizes that Gracie has a gift for midwifing. Gracie continues to learn from her grandmother and when she moves to Martha Washington with her new husband word quickly spreads and her help is sought again and again. Is this really the role God would have for a newly-married girl?

Soon Gracie has a thriving practice. She’s happy to serve God and her community in this way; however, her own dream of a large family is not materializing. She struggles with the Lord and feels His promise that He will bless her with children if she will obey him. She never doubts God will be faithful to his word, but how long must she wait?

As you walk with Gracie among her mountain people, you will see her own faith grow as she shares God’s love and healing with her family and neighbors.

Gracie’s Babies is a sequel to Margaret’s Faith.
