I have not read this yet, but I CAN tell you My Beauty for Your Ashes was one of the most powerful first reads I have had in a while! If you have not read it, I highly recommend it 
And I am definitely getting myself this newest release – it is just 99 cents through 04/15/19, so hurry!
A pawn, a queen, a knight and a promise stolen by secrets.
Grace Melanie has been a pawn in her mother’s machinations all of her life. After years of lies and manipulation, she learned to keep to herself, rejecting offers of friendships and dates in order to keep others from being caught up in her mother’s deceitful web.
Now she finally has a small taste of freedom. With it has come the blessings of friendship–and the responsibility of keeping those friends off her mother’s radar.
And love? That was not in the plans. Until she met the handsome man assigned to take care of her.
The first time Marcus Miller was assigned to watch over the Morganson family, he felt an overwhelming need to protect the girl with the sad golden eyes. When he saw Melanie again four years later, he was awestruck by the beautiful woman she’d become.
Now, he’s been asked to look after her again—only this time, his own heart is at stake.
As he enters her world he can’t shake the feeling that he has just become another player in an elaborate game that no one is supposed to win . . .
But God.
****Though the timeline of Marc and Melanie’s story predates My Beauty for Your Ashes, book 1 in the Promises to Zion Series, there are spoilers, so if you have not read My Beauty For Your Ashes yet I would suggest you do so first.****

About Traci Wooden-Carlisle
Traci Wooden-Carlisle began writing poetry and short stories as soon as she was able to form words on paper. She used that as a way of creating worlds, as well as, to communicate with God. A native of Los Angeles, 
California, she grew up attending United Methodist Church under the leadership of a pastor whose heart was for youth. Once she finished college she found herself at a loss. She felt caught in the transition between childhood and adulthood. She surrounded herself with saints and volunteered her services as a graphic artist. Through the early-morning prayer, all night Friday prayer and 3-day shut-ins she started on her journey toward her most desired gift, an intimate relationship with God.
Today, Mrs. Wooden-Carlisle lives in San Diego with her husband, Mr. Carlisle. She teaches fitness classes, runs a jewelry and craft business, and is currently writing the next installment in her Christian-fiction series
