Home Town Melody

By Milla Holt

Description:

Everything is at stake when a Christian recording artist learns he fathered a child during a one-night stand.

It was just one lapse in self-control, one poor decision, one night when he was in a dark place.

Since then, Levi Falconer has done his best to move past that almost-forgotten illicit encounter. No one knows what he did, and he and his brothers are bringing their contemporary Christian music band back together for a long-awaited reunion album. But he’s about to learn that his night of forbidden passion resulted in a little boy.

Highschool dropout Adria Baines got her real education from the school of hard knocks. After aging out of foster care, she’s no stranger to struggles. She planned on making her own way, even after a surprise pregnancy. But when she runs out of options, she realizes she’ll have to do the one thing she swore she’d never do: get help from the father of her child.

Levi and Adria never should have met. But their lives are on a collision course once again as they learn how God can transpose the broken chords of their mistakes into a beautiful melody.

Book Takeaway:

God gives beauty for ashes. There is no situation that He cannot work for His good.

Why the author wrote this book:

Through my fiction, I seek to address the gritty topics that arise when the rubber hits the road in our Christian journey—challenging my characters, and by extension my readers readers, to confront and reconcile their faith with the realities of life's harsher moments.

I wrote Home Town Melody to explore the transformative journeys of two very different lives unexpectedly intertwined by a single moment, a moment which never should have happened. But God takes their moral failings, their life's biggest mistake, and uses it to bring redemption and beauty. It's Romans 8:28 in action.
