ABOUT THE BOOK
After marrying Edward, Sheila artfully masks her secrets, allowing Edward to gain prominence as a conservative pastor. When one phone call from a disillusioned Vietnam veteran destroys her cover, Sheila faces an impossible choice: save her son and his beloved…or imperil Edward’s ambitions.
Inspired by a true story, The Rhythm of Secrets intermingles jazz, classical, and sacred music in a symphony trumpeting God’s grace.

My Review:
Patti Lacy has done a wonderful job sharing this story. The ups and downs of living a life of Secrets and the fear of them being known. Sheila Franklin is married to her Envangelist Husband and their Ministry is thriving! But one phone call could change everything! Sheila is forced to decide if she will face her past and the Son who calls after all these years or continue living the lie.
If your enjoy Historical Fiction you will be swept away to the Vietnam Era and travel with Patti from New Orleans to Mississippi and Chicago too. The depths of our choices, especially back in this era, prove to be difficult to "make right". It is true though, that no matter how difficult, no matter how harsh situations and people can be, God is HIS Infinite Grace can change everything.
