Suddenly Color

Even the dead have secrets. Kat Kent stumbles upon one while cleaning out a closet, and it threatens to steal what she thought she knew about her family. Kat's own secret, though, may prove the even greater threat. As symptoms of something for which she has no name become harder to ignore, she wonders what's happening inside her. She also wonders what's happening in her deepening friendship with Paul Miles, the man who's already helped her through so much. While mounting a new art exhibit, dealing with nosey customers, and dipping her toe back into church life are all keeping her busy, Kat is trying to hold onto the important things. But will she find the help she needs before losing more than she can bear?

Readers of Kat's Dreams will lose themselves once again in Suddenly Color, the continuing story of the Sacred Grounds Coffee Company barista who still hopes her life will calm down enough to listen for the still, small voice of God. The second book of Smith's Sacred Grounds series, this short novel brings a grace-filled glimpse into the silences around mental health and mental illness. It includes discussion questions at the end for individual readers as well as study groups.
