The Porches of Holly

By: Traci Vanderbush

Narrated by: Hannah Edelson

In the midst of long-held secrets, extramarital affairs, and addictions, a supernatural force visits the small community of Holly and awakens hearts that were once threatened by destruction. The trials of life chose their victims at random. Lies knew no boundaries. And neither did the grace of God. An unseen presence pursued the resurrection of the dead and the sight of the blind. Local pastor, Dylan Vanberg, battles his own torment as he comes to realize the power of grace while the town newspaper reporter, Jackson Sawyer, begins to understand the power of words. The porches of Holly...where old stories are repeated, babies are rocked, and kisses are given. Where life happens. What secrets do these porches hold and what stories will they tell?

Beautiful uplifting novel

This book is perfect for those looking for a story that not only entertains but also nourishes the soul.

Engaging story,

Traci does a great job weaving some great truths in with a really captivating story! I listened to the whole thing in one day, while driving. I didn’t care for the harsh bell at times but it signaled a change in settings. Great listen!

I have found a new favorite author!

I am always in search of new authors that can touch my heart and entertain me with a compelling story. I am happy to say that Traci A. Vanderbush does just that! We can all find a character to identify with in The Porches of Holly, it is a modern day tale of hurt, despair, rejection, and judgement followed by hope, love, forgiveness and redemption. I finished the book in a few days and as with all good authors and stories, it was bittersweet, because you get so involved in the characters lives that you have to keep reading to know what happens but then you realize that you have come to the end of a good story. The Porches of Holly caused me to pause and reflect many times on my own story and how it affects those around me, this is something that I will carry with me each day, how I can "step into Him" and be a positive affect in others lives and it opened my eyes again that even though we all walk through the "valleys" of life and feel we are all alone that He is always, always right there with us. So don't hesitate to get your copy of the Porches of Holly today, the encounters that you will experience will touch your heart and inspire you to share your own story with those around you.

Beautiful “real” story of Redemption

Tracy, I have read your book 2 times and now have enjoyed listening to the audible version. Each time you have stirred my heart and reminded me of wonderful truths to live in and through. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This book is a precious gift to the Bride of Christ.

Real

This is an excellent book. The characters have real life issues and the development of the characters and story line is realistic. The working out of the plot and the movement of God through out the story is again real life and the beauty of God’s working with His children is wonderful. It shows raw life and real redemption. Unfair judgements and mistakes change through mercy and grace. I recommend this book to older teens and adults. It will touch everyone who reads it, in my opinion. Thanks for writing this treasure.
