From the Author
A few years ago I wrote a novella titled The Penny Whistle, featuring a muchloved and respected schoolteacher (Jonathan Stuart), who was struggling with poor health and finding it difficult to hold onto hope. Two of Jonathans students who fully believe in the God of the Impossible, set out to enlist His help, along with that of their families and their classmateswith some truly amazing results. This was a small book whose characters have always been among my personal favorites and, according to my mail, favorites of my readers as well, so I was tremendously excited when the opportunity arose to develop an entire series around them. A Distant Music reunites these characters some years in the future and tells the rest of the story. I invite you to pay a visit to Skingle Creek, Kentucky, where a oneroom schoolhouse provides the setting for a miracle...and the beginning of a different kind of love story.
