HOW SWEET THE SOUND by Vanessa Miller is a wonderful story,
filled with love, adventure, heartbreak, and the guidance of
God. We are taken on a journey with Shar Gracey, a gospel
singer from Chicago. Shar has enchanted the heart of her
Pastor, Landon Norstrom with her anointed voice, but he is
not the only one captivated by her God given talent. As Shar
explores her dreams of becoming a famous gospel singer, she
gains a bit of life and loss. Illness, death, and despair
finally bring Shar back before the Lord. With the help of
Pastor Landon and Shar's parents, Shar finds her way back in
to the palm of God.
HOW SWEET THE SOUND brings you into a time period that may
be different in some ways, but holds the same lessons and
truths. Vanessa Miller's talent shines through as she guides
Shar and the reader to find faith and hope in the Lord. HOW
SWEET THE SOUND is exactly as the title reads, how sweet the
sound, and I'm not talking about sugar sweet. It's a kind of
sweet gets deep inside your soul and beckons you to reach
for the pain and trouble you may have buried. It doesn't
stop there. By the end you will have thrown those past pains
aside and begun running head long in to the love of the
Lord. I would recommend any one, who has fallen away from
God or seen things crumble around them, read this book, I'm
sure glad I did.
Shar Gracey wants nothing more than to sing the Lord’s
praises, so she jumps at the chance to join a traveling
choir led by the father of black gospel music, Thomas A.
Dorsey. Better yet, the opportunity will give her money to
pay for her ailing mother’s medical care.
While on tour she falls under the tutelage of gospel great
Mahalia Jackson—and falls for the handsome but not-so-great
Nicoli James, whose desires for Shar are fueled by his own
greed. Shar would do anything for Nicoli—and he knows it—so
when his life is threatened after a night of gambling, Shar
agrees to help pay Nicoli’s debt, only to have her faith and
dreams shattered.
Reeling from the betrayal, Shar loses her voice and she
believes that she will never sing again. She has no place to
run except back home to her seriously ill mother—and the man
she left behind, who would move heaven and earth to make
Shar’s pain go away. Even if it means he has to let her go .
. . again.
