New Novel, Songs for a Sunday, to Release with Iron Stream Media
Heather Norman Smith's fifth novel, Songs for a Sunday, will be released by Iron Stream Media on 2/7/23. Set in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the book is a delightfully Southern dual timeline story of sisterhood, secrets, sacrifice, and salvation. Available now for pre-order.
About the Book:
1963: Twenty-year-old Annie dreams of managing the dance studio where she has trained since childhood and of marrying her high-society boyfriend. But when her younger sister with special needs gets pregnant, Annie is forced to set her dreams aside for the sake of family.
Present Day: Missy Robbins has always lived in her younger sister’s shadow. When given the opportunity, Missy steps out of her comfort zone as stay-at-home mom of four to prove she’s as good a singer as Erica. Missy’s new pursuit puts her on a path to self-discovery and reclaiming her discarded faith. Until she discovers her grandmother has a sixty-year-old secret.
Will Missy conceal Grandma Annie’s deception, or will she be forced to reveal the hidden truth?

Endorsements"In Songs for a Sunday, Heather Norman Smith meticulously illuminates how familial bonds are tested when long-buried secrets, personal regrets, and life-changing choices are exposed and dealt with. Perfectly capturing the unique yet challenging relationship between sisters, Smith takes us on a journey that may seem familiar. Not because we’ve read similar books, but because we’ve lived it within the pages of our own life story. Readers will remember this poignant tale of faith and family long after they’ve turned the last page."
-Michelle Shocklee, award-winning author of Under the Tulip Tree and Count the Nights by Stars “Songs for a Sunday is a lyrical exploration of two women who’ve sacrificed much for the sake of others, a God who can heal any wound, and the unbreakable bonds of family. Intriguing characters, powerful scenes that speak to the soul of a musician, inspiring spiritual arcs, and authentic historical details make this a story that will stick with me for a long time. Fans of Amanda Cox’s family-centered Southern split-time will find much to love about Songs for a Sunday.” -Amanda Wen, award-winning author of Roots of Wood and Stone |
