Where Songs Find Their Soul: The Willow Grace Story

Some prayers you write down. Some you become.For fifty years, Kimberly Mercado kept her voice behind closed doors. Where Songs Find Their Soul is the story of how it finally came out.It begins with a heartbroken young woman who did not know how to pray-until her mama told her to write God a letter. So she did. She wrote letter after letter, folded them into a folder, and tucked them away. Years later, the folder vanished. And one by one, every single thing she had asked for came true: the man whose kind eyes she had described before she had ever met him; the daughter and then the son she had prayed for in that order; a family; a home; a way through.This is a memoir about faith and family, about grief and the long road of caregiving, and about the songs that arrived unbidden whenever her heart grew too full to hold them. It is the story behind the music of Willow Grace - and an open door for anyone who has ever hidden the truest part of themselves and wondered if it was finally time to step into the light.Inside you will find: - The full Willow Grace story, from a small Kentucky town to a voice she finally set free- All twelve original songs, printed as poetry from the heart- "Quiet Pages" - short devotions and prayers for the road you are on- A letter to anyone with a gift they have been too afraid to shareIf you have loved and lost, held on through more than you can count, and still believe there is something more on the other side of it all-this book was written for you.From my chest to yours.
