COMING SOON Continuing the Journey
Sunflowers Still Bloom
A tender, faith-filled story of healing, homecoming, and second chances.
When Mary Hope arrives carrying the ashes of a woman long thought lost, the quiet life Clara Barnes built begins to shift in ways she never expected. Set in the soft heart of Sycamore Hill, where front porches remember every prayer and sunflowers bend toward the light, this gentle Southern tale follows a family learning that even the deepest grief can bloom into grace.
Clara, a devoted mother and steady wife, has spent years tending not just her home, but the fragile hearts within it — her tender, autistic daughter Amber, her strong-willed and protective Ashley, and a marriage grounded in faith with her patient husband, Thomas. When Mary Hope is revealed to be the daughter of Clara’s estranged sister Margaret, buried memories rise like roots beneath the willow tree — along with unanswered questions, quiet miracles, and a mystery wrapped in whispers.
As love and loss intertwine, the family confronts letters left unsent, a bell that rings where no hand touches it, and a legacy waiting to be reclaimed. Through Sunday mornings, small-town kindness, shared prayers, and the sacred rhythm of everyday life, Clara begins to understand that God’s timing is never flawed—only slow enough to teach us how to trust.
Sunflowers Still Bloom is a lyrical, faith-centered novel about the resilience of family, the gentleness of forgiveness, and the unwavering hope that shines even after heartbreak.
If you love heartfelt stories filled with warmth, Christian faith, emotional depth, and Southern charm, this novel will feel like coming home.
