It's Release Day for
ALL WE THOUGHT WE KNEW!
I'm very excited to share this historical split-time novel set on a horse farm in Tullahoma, Tennessee with readers! There is a LOT of cool history throughout the pages of the book, along with family issues, a wounded warrior, and even a bit of mystery.
Here's the back-of-the-book blurb:
She was so sure she knew her family’s story . . .
Now she wonders if she was wrong about all of it.
1969. When Mattie Taylor’s twin brother was killed in Vietnam, she lost her best friend and the only person who really understood her. Now, news that her mother is dying sends Mattie back home, despite blaming her father for Mark’s death. Mama’s last wish is that Mattie would read some old letters stored in a trunk, from people Mattie doesn’t even know. Mama insists they hold the answers Mattie is looking for.
1942. Ava Delaney is picking up the pieces of her life following her husband’s death at Pearl Harbor. Living with her mother-in-law on a secluded farm in Tennessee is far different than the life Ava imagined when she married only a few short months ago. Desperate to get out of the house, Ava seeks work at a nearby military base, where she soon discovers the American government is housing Germans who they have classified as enemy aliens. As Ava works to process legal documents for the military, she crosses paths with Gunther Schneider, a German who is helping care for wounded soldiers. Ava questions why a man as gentle and kind as Gunther should be forced to live in the internment camp, and as they become friends, her sense of the injustice grows . . . as do her feelings for him. Faced with the possibility of losing Gunther, Ava must choose whether loving someone deemed the enemy is a risk worth taking, even if it means being ostracized by all those around her.
In the midst of pain and loss two women must come face-to-face with their own assumptions about what they thought they knew about themselves and others. What they discover will lead to a far greater appreciation of their own legacies and the love of those dearest to them.

Being a native from Franklin County, Tennessee, I cannot wait to read this book. I enjoyed Under The Tulip Tree and meeting Michelle at our book club. The book blurb is so intriguing.
I just finished the audio of All We Thought We Knew! Like all your other books, it was fantastic! I would love a hard copy of the book to share and read again!
Appalachian Song, from book cover to last page, is a masterpiece! One of my top five favorites of all time (I’m a 70yo book lover). Keep writing and creating and be blessed 🙂
Cannot wait to carve out time to read this book! After reading Under the Tulip Tree…I know I have to set aside time…will be another book I cannot put down!
I am so excited to read your latest novel. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your career grow. You have a God given gift and so glad you share it with the world.
I am SO excited to read this book! I absolutely love your work and how you effortlessly tie in Christ to all your books. It’s hard for me to find an author I just can’t get enough of, and you are one of them! Thank you for blessing us with your talented words.
This sounds wonderful. I love books where the characters are discovering new things, rewriting their own history or overcoming a tragedy.

I have been so excited about this Tullahoma book! My heart has been broken over the flooding in the mountains, but that means this book is even more important to get out there and teach people about this beautiful state and its people. Thank you for this opportunity to read an ARC.
This sounds like a wonderful story and I just LOVE the cover! I love how the character is looking back behind her. Thank you for this opportunity to win your last ARC.
I did not realize that my comment was going to be anonymous. So, I am replying with my name. Thank you!
Ohhhh this sounds so good!!! And I like that you included the Vietnam War as a time period. I haven’t read many of those!
I love books set in my home state! 💙 Congratulations on the new release!
I loved all your other books. I moved from Franklin, TN to California where Paula Bicknell introduced me to your books. My girls and I are excited for your new read. 💛
I haven’t even really read the description/synopsis for this book, because I’ve loved each of your other releases, so I haven’t even worried about it=)
