Praise for Books in the Series
"In Shades of Light, Sharon Garlough Brown draws us once again into stories of faith amid suffering and hope even in the darkness. Christians face mental illness like everyone else, but too often they wrestle alone and ashamed. As we enter Wren's world of anxiety and depression, we are invited to join her muse Vincent van Gogh and the characters from the Sensible Shoes series as her 'companions in sorrow.' Sharon's unflinching and compassionate portrayal of that sacred fellowship reveals Christ himself is with us on the journey, sharing our tears and holding us in love."
—Rebecca Konyndyk DeYoung, author of Glittering Vices
"Through the power of story Sharon Garlough Brown gently ushers us into deeper conversations about faith, pain, grief, and hope. We see ourselves in these characters and in this story, and that allows us to find ourselves in the bigger story and draw near to the Writer himself. Both provocative and comforting, Feathers of Hope is another gift to all who seek an honest relationship with others and with God."
—Mary S. Hulst, University Pastor at Calvin University
