About this ebook

Then Sings My Soul is a gritty, humorous, and ultimately loving story of a family shaken to the core by the death of their father.

Cora and her children continue to struggle seven years after their father was killed during the D-Day invasion. Cora works two jobs in the oil town of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Shes a waitress at the refinery diner and on her off days is employed as a domestic. Her eldest, Josh, works for the railroad by day and dreams of a baseball career at night. Her second son, Bobby, has just graduated high school and taken a job at a filling station. Sarah, only fourteen, goes to school, takes care of the home and looks after her six-year-old sister, Jonda.

As her children spiral out of control, Cora undergoes a dreadful experience that could wreck the only thing she has lefther faith.

And so begins one of the most captivating and enthralling stories you will ever read.
