Here’s the scoop about Patti Lacy’s newest Christian novel.

“Since leaving Louisiana, Sally Stevens has held her childhood secrets at bay, smothering them in a sunny disposition and sugar-coated lies. No one, not even her husband Sam, has heard the truth about what happened to her and her best friend, Ella Ward, when they were twelve years old. <\/span> Now a teacher in Normal, Illinois, Sally has nearly forgotten her past.<\/p>\n

Then Shamika, one of her students, is violently attacked, and memories of segregation, a chain-link fence, and a blood oath bubble to the surface like a dead body in a bayou. Lies continue to tumble from Sally\u2019s lips as she scrambles to gloss over the harsh reality of a betrayal that refuses to stay buried. <\/span> <\/p>\n

Finally cornered by the Holy Spirit and her own web of lies, Sally\u2014and Shamika embark on a quest to find Ella in post-Katrina New Orleans. With the help of friends, family, and God, Sally can glimpse a life free of the mire of deceit and truly begin to live with joy. But will she pay the price for a lifetime of deception?”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>\"\"<\/a>When Patti Lacy left the Louisiana swamps for college, she returned to Baylor University, where as a girl she\u2019d lived in the boys\u2019 athletic dormitory. Her \u201cbig brothers\u201d entertained her with magic tricks and wild tales that planted the love of stories in her heart. <\/span> Patti graduated from Baylor with an education degree that allowed her to continue the passion and tradition inspired by her schoolteacher parents and husband. <\/span> <\/p>\n

The Lacys moved to the Midwest in 1995, where Patti heard an Irishwoman\u2019s amazing story of betrayal and forgiveness. Ten years later, the Spirit\u2019s urgings culminated in a new career path: novelist. Kregel Publications released Patti\u2019s debut novel, An Irishwoman\u2019s Tale<\/span>, in 2008. <\/span> What the Bayou Saw<\/span> continues Patti\u2019s quest to explore secrets women keep and why they keep them. <\/span> The Lacys live in Normal, Illinois, and have two grown children and a dog named Laura. They attend Grace Church, where Patti facilitates a Bible study and the family supports Ministry & More<\/a>, an organization offering the true Bread of Life to clients. <\/span> To contact Patti, visit her website at www.pattilacy.com<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Thanks, Patti. It sounds like one of those stories that plunges deep into the heart.–Lyn
