As Spring Blooms

By: Melanie Wilber

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Noelle is living a new life of faith, or at least trying her best to know and follow an invisible God. She can feel His presence, hear His voice speaking to her heart, and sees evidence of His hand in her life. Since leaving the protective walls of her childhood to attend the university in Toronto, she’s made mistakes and gotten hurt more than once, but she is hoping to put the past behind and move on to better days of peace, joy, and purpose. After attending church for a couple of months with her friend, Meridith, she decides to go on her own for the first time when Meri is sick, knowing she has other friends who will be there. But she never imagines the small step of faith leading to an encounter with someone who brings love and joy to her heart in a sweet, life-changing way.

Readers of the Garden of Love series by Melanie Wilber will recognize Noelle and other young women in this coming-of-age story that takes place simultaneously with “Violets Are Blue” (Book 9) and before “Forget Me Not” (Book 14). Recommended for women and teens, ages 14 and up.
