In A League of Its Own!

Through the riveting novel “Daisy Chain,” Mary E. Demuth has set a new standard for Christian fiction and few writers will ever come close to reaching it. Demuth doesn’t want you to walk away from her books simply “reading a good story”… she wants you to “live” them and be transformed by their message.

You may find your heart pounding as Jed Pepper runs to check on Daisy. You will find yourself filled with anger at Jed’s father who portrays a heart for God as a preacher, yet is abusive behind closed doors. You’ll want to sit down with Jed’s mother and let her cry on your shoulder. You might wish you could go to Defiance and rescue Jed and his sister, help look for Daisy, and pray in hope for the brokenness that has consumed the town, but there’s no need to. The author introduces you to God’s grace in the form of Hixon and Muriel. Demuth leaves no stitch of the story loose or undone. She has weaved a perfect tapestry of the truth of tragedy, yet the assured triumph through God’s mercy and grace. Each character is as mysterious and intriguing as our Creator who has made each of us. The author brilliantly keeps you on the edge of your seat while taking you through the realities of a fallen world. She doesn’t beat around the bush; she doesn’t try to sugar coat pain. “Daisy Chain” will open your heart and your eyes so that you will get a glimpse of what it’s like to look at others as God does.

Mary E. Demuth has a God-given talent to write that most could work towards their whole life and never even come close. Each word is carefully chosen and artfully written. You’ll be up all night reading “Daisy Chain” and find yourself hoping there is no end to Mary’s incredible story telling of Defiance, TX. Lucky for you, the second book in the Texas Trilogy is released and you don’t have to wait to read it (“A Slow Burn”). My advice…buy them both together…you won’t want to wait to go down to the book store or the time it will take for shipping!
