God works in mysterious ways-and through ordinary people. The town of Prosper is about to experience some drama-and it all starts with a dog who comes to church. EndorsementsWho Brought the Dog to Church? by Tracy L. Smoak is a delightful contemporary Christian novel about community, care, and friendship. There is the difficult topic of domestic violence which is sensitively portrayed by Tracy. Her style of writing enables the reader to easily picture the victim and the abuser as we get inside their heads. There is also the theme of loss as women struggle with grief after losing their husbands. Tracy L. Smoak writes in an easy, personable style. Although there are serious themes, her style is easy-going and peppered with humor. Tracy L. Smoak is a new author to me and certainly one that I want to read more from. Her story tackles serious, relevant issues in an easily relatable way while revealing the heart and love of God for His children. Who Brought the Dog to Church? is a charming tale that I can highly recommend.-Julia WilsonBlogger at www.christianbookaholic.comIn Who Brought the Dog to Church?, Tracy L. Smoak has done something remarkable-she's woven serious topics such as death, immigration, and domestic violence, with the laugh-out-loud antics of a bunch of small town church ladies to produce a funny, heartwarming, and thought-provoking tale. The relationships between Betty, Letitia, Ida Lou, and Elizabeth are darling! Fun connections and revelations sprinkled throughout the book make it a page-turner not to be missed, and the whole story wraps up in wonderfully satisfying and sweet conclusion. This book gives readers hope for abundant joy, even in the midst of pain, and, most of all, points us to the unfailing love of the Savior.-Heather Norman SmithAuthor of Songs for a Sunday, Where I Was Planted, New Wine Transportation Company, and other inspirational southern fiction
