Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Readers of Christian romances should be pleased to see the popular "Daybreak" series debut on audio, here read smoothly by Jean DeBarbieris. In this introductory volume, former singer Jennifer Terry arrives for a job interview at a small Christian radio station. To her surprise, she is hired on the spot by station owner Daniel Kaine, a former Olympic athlete who was blinded in a car accident by a drunk driver. Jennifer soon learns that Daniel is receiving threatening phone calls and that someone appears to want him dead. As she helps him solve the mystery, the two fall in love. While the suspense of the story is only lukewarm, the romantic elements are much more solid. DeBarbieris's narration enhances the book's appeal. However, noises such as shufflings and gulps can occasionally be heard in the background. Buy for demand.?Melissa Hudak, Centegra Health System, McHenry, IL

For a story set in West Virginia, DeBarbieris does a wonderful job of using the right accent, while reading clearly and pleasantly. S.C.A. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

More About the Author
BJ Hoff's writing is known for her historical settings, her unforgettable characters, and her lyrical prose. She is the bestselling author of numerous historical fiction series, including the Riverhaven Years, the Mountain Song Legacy, the Song of Erin saga, the American Anthem series, and An Emerald Ballad series.
Her five-volume Emerald Ballad series was the first major work of fiction to bring the Irish immigration experience to the CBA marketplace-and the work that first brought BJ an international reading audience.
Her readers know they can expect to meet some memorable people in her novels and also know that many of those people will be immigrants-Irish immigrants particularly but not exclusively.
BJ admits to a passion for "building worlds." Whether her characters move about in small country towns or metropolitan areas, reside in Amish settlements, secluded mansions, or coal company houses, she creates communities where people can form relationships, raise families, pursue their faith, and experience the mountains and valleys of life.
She's intent on making her historical novels relevant to the present by developing characters and settings that, while staying true to the history and culture of their times, reflect many of the spiritual trials and social problems faced by contemporary readers. Her novels are meant to be "stories that build a bridge from the past to the present."
Her literary awards include the Christianity Today's Critics Choice Book Award for fiction; a Gold Medallion Award finalist; and a number of Excellence in Media Silver Angel awards. Her books have been translated into many foreign languages, and she frequently hears from her international readers in countries such as Ireland, England, Norway, and Germany.
A former church music director and music teacher, BJ is a member of the Authors Guild, the Irish American Cultural Institute, and the Appalachian Writers Association.
She writes from her home in a small town in east central Ohio. She and her husband share a love of music, books, and time spent with their family: two married daughters, three lively young grandsons, a loopy Golden Retriever, and a cunning, incorrigible but lovable cat.

5.0 out of 5 stars
wonderful reading,
By Beverly "bevreader" (Mississippi) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Storm at Daybreak (Daybreak Mysteries #1) (Paperback)
Storm at Daybreak is the first mystery in the Daybreak series, and it introduces the characters of Daniel and Jennifer. Trying to ignore their immediate attraction to each other, Daniel and Jennifer get entangled in trying to figure out who would be harassing him and threatening his life. Through all of it, they find out that they have to lean on the Lord for help and strength. B. J. Hoff is a wonderful mystery writer and you will want to read all of the Daybreak mysteries after reading this one.
