The Words Between Us
by Erin Bartels

Robin Windsor has spent most of her life under an assumed name, running from her family’s ignominious past. But the past is hot on her heels. When she receives an eerily familiar book in the mail on the morning of her father’s scheduled execution, Robin is thrown back to the long-lost summer she met Peter Flynt, the perfect boy who ruined everything.

Hear Us Roar! Debut Author Podcast

Meet WFWA member Lorelei Brush. She holds two doctoral degrees, a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology and a Doctor of Ministry focusing on Islam and Christianity. Since 1996, she has worked in international education. From 2006 to 2008 she managed a large USAID-funded education project in northwestern Pakistan, an area seriously affected by the earthquake of October 2005. Uncovering is her first novel, a work of love arising from her time among so many gifted people committed to Islam as a religion of peace and helping others. 

Listen to the interview with Lorelei.
