My Fridays have tended toward hectic lately, so I haven’t put up any trailers in several weeks, but now Book Trailer Fridays is back, starting with Amaryllis in Blueberry by Christina Meldrum!

Here’s a description of the book:

Meet the Slepys: Dick, the stern doctor, the naive husband, a man devoted to both facts and faith; Seena, the storyteller, the restless wife, a mother of four, a lover of myth. And their children, the Marys: Mary Grace, the devastating beauty; Mary Tessa, the insistent inquisitor; Mary Catherine, the saintly, lost soul; and finally, Amaryllis, Seena’s unspoken favorite, born with the mystifying ability to sense the future, touch the past and distinguish the truth tellers from the most convincing liar of all.

When Dick insists his family move from Michigan to the unfamiliar world of Africa for missionary work, he can’t possibly foresee how this new land and its people will entrance and change his daughters—and himself—forever.

Nor can he predict how Africa will spur his wife Seena toward an old but unforgotten obsession. In fact, Seena may be falling into a trance of her own.

Here’s what people are saying about Amaryllis in Bluberry:

“Satisfying.” —Library Journal

“Intoxicating.” —Publishers Weekly

“Meldrum writes beautifully.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A uniquely memorable read that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.” —Carol Cassella, National Bestselling author of Oxygen and Healer

“A beautifully layered, intensely emotional story, with unforgettable characters.”—Michelle Richmond, author of the New York Times and international bestseller The Year of Fog
