Grab your party hats and noisemakers because I’m celebrating today! Pieces of Granite, the prequel to Chain of Mercy is now available for purchase!!!*
(*Due to technical difficulties, the paperback version of Pieces of Granite is not available. Yet. But it is coming. Soon!)
I’ve got cake (In an early scene, my heroine Debbie and her daughter Kaitlynn are making a cake similar to the one below).
Plus, I have munchies and drinks and, of course, a Giveaway! (See below)
In PIECES OF GRANITE, my heroine, Debbie, is let down by many of those closest to her. She even has a Precious Moments figurine, “I’ll Never Let You Down”–a gift and a promise from her older brother. Despite being let down by so many, Debbie constantly tries to be strong and not let them down in return. Problem is, she can’t do it. None of us can.
But there is Someone who will never let us down, Someone who promised to be our strength, our foundation.
The Precious Moments figurine is a reminder of God’s promise to us, so I’m including that along with a paperback copy of Pieces of Granite!
So, spread the word! Share the pic below. Tell everyone you know about Pieces of Granite. Chat it up on Twitter and Facebook. Pin the cover and contest pic to Pinterest!
And, of course, buy the book!
Thank you for celebrating with me!
PIECES OF GRANITE
(Coming Home Series prequel)
2012 ACFW Genesis Semi-Finalist
“Brenda Anderson’s realistic, flawed characters and messy life situations drag the reader on a rollercoaster ride of emotions in this story of what happens when the strong one everyone leans on begins to spiral. A page turning tale of one woman’s journey of relinquishing control and finding her true self.” Award-winning author Shannon Taylor Vannatter
A distressing diagnosis
A retreating husband
A prodigal brother
Debbie Verhoeven is not your typical woman.
- She sacrificed a counseling career to be a full-time mother
- She’d rather pound a nail than round steak
- Oprah? No way! Give her ESPN any day
- Nothing could be more stressful than scrapbooking
Nothing, except …
A distressing diagnosis,
A husband who is pulling away,
And two older brothers who refuse to get along
When the counselor is caught in the middle,
when she needs to be strong for those around her,
who is left to be strong for her?

I don’t think my husband would ever let me down. In your book I know she felt let down by her husband and I loved how she stayed strong in her faith in ALL things. Wishing you much success in your book launch 🙂
Thank you, Deeana!
Good luck with your book launch. I know I have already let you know, but I’ll say it again – I’ll really enjoyed it.
Thank you, Ann! I’m so very glad you enjoyed it! Makes my day. 🙂
Go Girl!
Thank you, Nicole!
I loved the book,Brenda, as you well know. I looked forward to reading Chain of Mercy.
Thank you, Linda! So glad you enjoyed Pieces of Granite!
Downloaded the book. Congratulations. Can’t wait to read it!
Awesome! Thank you, Linnea! Hope you enjoy Debbie’s story. 😀
Congratulations, Brenda!!! What a wonderful day!
Thank you, Christina! Absolutely a wonderful day!
I’m so excited for you!! AND I love Precious Moments! Great way to pair two terrific things together! Now I’m off to spread the word about your book.
Thank you, Dawn! I don’t have many Precious Moments figurines, but this one so perfectly fits the story. 🙂
My friends at therapy pool are always there for me. While we let the warm water release pain from our bodies, we talk and laugh. A laugh does so much healing.
I just bought the e-book. Would enjoy having an actual copy of the book to pass along.
That sounds wonderful, Martha! And there is nothing like laughter to bring healing!
Congratulations, Brenda! I’m not sure there is anyone who hasn’t “let me down” at some point, but most of the time is wasn’t deliberate. We are all human. We let people down without meaning to. We expect things of others that only God can give. My father (a near perfect man!) feels let down because I don’t share his political views. And I guess I feel let down because he doesn’t understand me as I used to think he did. The love is still there despite the feelings of being let down.
Hi LeAnne,
You’re right–people are fallible and can’t help but let others down, but the love is still there! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations!! I’m so excited this book is available now. It truly is a must read – and good reading too. I’ve been busy almost every day with extra activities, but I’d reserve an hour in the evening, sometime late evening, to read this book. The 3rd day, I just read til I was done as I had to finish. Your character are realistic with real life issues. So glad that you have this talent to share with everyone!
Thank you, Gayle, for always being there for me! Yeah, we’ve let each other down on occasion, but then we don’t hesitate to pick each other up!
Love You!
Brenda, what an accomplishment!
I love…your cover.
A close friend of mine used to say “celebrate the moments of our lives, not looking back or ahead” . I hope you are doing just that!
Marjorie
Thank you, Marjorie! Isn’t the cover beautiful?! The designer is very gifted!
I completely agree–we have to celebrate these moments as they happen! And I’m doing just that. 😀

Congrats on your newest release…
My parents would never deliberately let me down I know!
Thank you, Patty!
I agree about most parents–they never *deliberately* let us down, just as I never *deliberately* let my kids down, but it happens. Thankfully, we have a heavenly Father who will never let us down!
