Hidden Current
2020 Christy Award Winner, Visionary
The dancers of the Order direct their floating world of Meriel with their movement . . . but are they steering it toward destruction?
Calara spent her life learning dance patterns and seeking to become the perfect servant to her people. When she discovers the work of the Order is built on lies, she flees with a rough-edged herder, Brantley of Windswell. Pursued by soldiers, her journey through the suffering villages of the rim leads her to encounter a truth that sends ripples through her world—and through her soul.
As she seeks clues to her forgotten family, Calara discovers newfound courage in the face of danger, while her quest awakens a growing but forbidden affection for Brantley. Yet even his support can't fully be trusted, since he'd rather destroy the Order than bring reform.
She is a lone woman facing opposition from rim villages and treachery from the all-powerful Order. Can she restore the dance to its true purpose and bring freedom and hope to her people?

Enchanting story of transformation
My daughter-in-love, a writer herself, recommended this series to me. I, too, was formerly involved in Youth With A Mission (YWAM), and she thought I might enjoy this dance-centric series. After reading a sample of the ebook I was hooked and couldn’t wait for the opportunity to purchase and read the first installment. Normally a slow reader, I devoured it in less than a week.
The world in this novel—although utterly unimaginable to me—is mysterious and delightful. The characters are rich and engaging. The plot line takes the reader from the confines of a rigid humanistic convent to the impoverished but hospitable fringes of the island Carya—renamed Calara—and her troubled people called home. But then Carya’s mission takes her right back to the Oder from which she had escaped. The journey of faith from confusion to meaning and purpose in a personal relationship with the Maker of her world is the key to freedom for Carya and anyone who will listen to the Letter he entrusted to her care.
If you are looking for a tale of mystery, intrigue, romance, faith and adventure, you will find all of these and more in Hidden Current.
