About My Mended Heart: Rachel Marie Series, Book 9 (Unabridged)

A cancer diagnosis robs the two Gray gentlemen – Big Ethan and Little Ethan – of a bride and beloved grandma. Unable to cope with Seattle’s jagged memories, Pastor Ethan gratefully embraces an invitation to move to Thailand and lead Bangkok Christian School's affiliate worship center, United Christian Church. Soon enough the story has a thumping soundtrack as Noah Charoenkul (Book #6) drafts the aging rocker to be his keyboardist for praise music at school and church. One Christmas after Whitney’s funeral, a demure new friend begins to occupy Ethan’s mind and heart. Vasana is a quiet but charming college professor enjoying an idyllic academic career at luxurious Phuket Island. Is he possibly prepared to love someone again, and bring this gracious Thai friend into his grandson’s still fragile third-grade world? Volume nine is a poignant experiment: the series’ first male protagonist, told as a bracingly honest first-person testimonial. David B. Smith, about the same age as BCS’s newest hero, shares Pastor Ethan’s passion for praise music with a thumping beat. He is gratefully married to his first and only love, Lisa, and recently retired from his awesome fifteen-year joyride teaching math at San Bernardino Valley College. You are invited to enjoy the other stories in this set, especially the debut novel, Love in a Distant Land , performed by veteran storyteller Tonya Foster Yancey.
