When she finally surrenders her heart, will it be too late?
 Susan Quinn, a social worker turned surrogate mom to foster teens, fights to save the group home she's worked hard to build. But now, she faces a dwindling staff, foreclosure, and old heartaches that won't stay buried. Her only hope lies with the last person she'd ever turn to-a brawny handyman with a guitar, a questionable past, and a God he keeps calling Father.
 Like a Love Song is a romantic drama about a fiercely loyal woman and some castaway kids who need the courage to believe in a love that never fails.
 "Eide writes a touching story about two unlikely heroes who sacrifice themselves to love those who are not loved by others ... This emotional book touches on very tender subjects in a tactful, graceful way that allows readers to understand what is happening without being overwhelmed by it. Eide is a phenomenal writer who once again displays her wisdom in the way she tells the story."

5 Gold Stars, Top Pick from RT Book Reviews, 2015 RT Reviewers' Choice Winner (Best Inspirational Romance) and Seal of Excellence Winner (Dec 2015) Love can't rewrite the pages of your past, but it can cover a multitude of sins-one page at a time.In 1953, desperation forces war widow, Eliza Saunderson, to take a job writing the memoir of ex-Hollywood heartthrob, Johnny Devine. Rumor has it Johnny can seduce anything in a skirt quicker than he can hail a cab. But now, the notorious womanizer claims he's born again. And so he seems to be. Eliza soon finds herself falling for the humble, grace-filled man John has become-a man who shows no sign of returning her feelings.No sign, that is, until she discovers something John never meant for her to see. When Eliza's articles on minority oppression land her on McCarthy's communist hit list, both John and Eliza become entangled in a HUAC investigation that threatens both John's book and Eliza's future. To clear her name, Eliza must solve a family mystery. She also needs to convince John that real love-not the Hollywood illusion-can cover a multitude of sins. But just when the hope of love becomes reality, a troubling discovery confirms Eliza's worst fears. Like the happy façade many Americans cling to, had it all been empty lies? Is there a love she can truly believe in? The Memoir of Johnny Devine is a dramatic story-within-a-story of a bad boy reformed and a good girl in need of reform. It's a powerful tale of love, redemption, intrigue, and the miracle of deliberate grace."Sharp, on-point writing immediately engages and makes it difficult to tear one's attention away from this emotionally riveting novel. The romantic tension sizzles nearly from the beginning, and readers will often find themselves breathless from the sheer delight of it."-RT Book Reviews, 5 Gold Stars, Top Pick2015"I love this story! The golden era of movies, a Clark Gable bad-boy turned good, and a woman with a broken heart learning to love again. A beautifully written story of redemption and second chances, this Hollywood romance is one that will leave you with hope. A fantastic weekend escape!"-Susie May WarrenRITA- and Christy Award-winning, best-selling author of the Christiansen Family series"Film noir and gripping romantic tension leap from the pages of The Memoir of Johnny Devine like a perfectly choreographed dance. Camille Eide's writing is poignant and lovely from the first page to the last."-Carla StewartAward-winning author of Stardust and A Flying Affair"Combining the romance of classic Hollywood, the intrigue of the Cold War era, and a stirring spiritual message, The Memoir of Johnny Devine is unforgettable. Eliza, John, and all the supporting characters are compelling, and Camille Eide's strong and evocative writing brings the story to life. A novel to savor."-Sarah SundinAward-winning author of Through Waters Deep"There is not a false beat in this engaging story. Eide has managed to create an intricate plot that flows effortlessly from one page to the next. Full of insight, intrigue, romance, and faith, The Memoir of Johnny Devine is so well constructed, it makes me want to go right back to the first page and read it again. Highly recommended!"-Cindy KelleyScreenwriter, co-author of Traces of Mercy and Finding Mercy"Camille has written another heartthrob of a novel, with an inspiring beat of true love, beauty, and grace. The Memoir of Johnny Devine takes us from the Golden Age of Hollywood through World War II and into the Red Scare of the early 1950s, as it weaves a story of both despair and redemption. It's a page-turner-literally a one-sitting story that I couldn't put down until the very last word!"-Leslie GouldChristy Award-winning and #1-bestselling author

The Memoir of Johnny Devine

Romance

Historical

Can the invisible walls that separate people ever come down? 
 In 1933, Anna Leibowicz is convinced that the American dream that brought her Jewish family here from Poland is nothing but an illusion. Her father has vanished. Her dreams of college can't make it past the sweat-shop door. And when she discovers to her shame and horror that she's with child, her mother gives her little choice but to leave. Deciding her best course of action is to try to find her father, she strikes out...hoping against hope to somehow redeem them both. 
 When Anna stumbles upon a house full of orphan boys in rural Indiana who are in desperate need of a tutor and a cook, she agrees to postpone her journey. But she knows from the moment she meets their contemplative, deep-hearted caretaker, Thomas Chandler, that she doesn't dare risk staying too long. She can't afford to open her heart to them, to him. She can't risk letting her secrets out. 
 All too soon, the townspeople realize she's not like them and begin treating her with the same disdain they give the Sisters of Mercy--the nuns who try to help Thomas and the boys--and Samuel, the quiet colored boy Thomas has taken in. With the Klan presence in the town growing ever stronger and danger to this family increasing the longer she stays, Anna is torn between fleeing to keep them safe...and staying to fight beside them. 
 Oh, that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest...
