Mark Richard –
A Powerful Story of Secrets, Forgiveness, and Grace
From the first pages, I was swept into 1960s Grimly, Mississippi, and captivated by author Gloria Fennimore’s masterfully written, emotionally rich story.
Fresh Baked Lies is filled with memorable, relatable characters and layered with falsehoods, schemes, secrets, betrayal, misunderstandings, and heartache. With unexpected twists and surprises along the way, the story kept me turning pages, eager to discover what would happen next.
But beneath the intrigue is something much deeper. At its heart, Fresh Baked Lies is a story about the choices we make when we have been wounded—whether we hold on to offense, bitterness, and bondage or choose forgiveness, healing, and peace. Ultimately, it is a beautiful reminder of what can happen when we surrender our hurts and align our hearts with Christ.
Gloria Fennimore has crafted an engaging story with a meaningful message of grace. I can’t wait for the second book to hit the bookshelves. I highly recommend Fresh Baked Lies. Don’t be surprised if, somewhere along the way, you find your own heart softened too.
