#np-- The Tender Bonds Playlist #NewRelease

5/20/2015

I like to listen to music while I write and for each book, I develop a playlist of songs that suit the mood of the book. Listening helps me to find the write emotional tenor to sit and write  I'm a sucker for a great lyric and often these songs have a line or two that really strike me. 
The Tender Bonds, coming out tomorrow, is a book about reconciling the past to move into the future. The songs on the playlist reflect the ideas of love and loss and maybe a touch of pathos, which  were  so vital to the writing
Here's a sample of some of the songs on my Tender Bonds playlist, along with a youtube link so you can give a listen if you'd like.

There comes a moment when the past we’ve left behind draws attention to itself and demands that we come to terms with it.  For Patty Dykstra, a woman who has long led an unassuming life, that moment comes after her aunt dies. Among a life’s worth of things,  Patty finds unopened cards from her father, a man that she hasn’t seen since she was six years old.
Patty is compelled to return to a small town in upstate New York to find the man who used to call her Star Shine, a man she barely remembers.  The Tender Bonds is the story of Patty’s life- altering journey, of the faith and hope that grow in the meanest of places, and of what it means to be truly home.
