Louisa Beth Troy

What happens after salvation - when you've changed, but others don't see it? Author Beth Troy addresses this question from the first page, which finds Lu Sokolowski - the engaging and relatable heroine from Troy's redemptive debut novel, Lu - back in her hometown with her expectations of a new life, dashed.


Lu has returned to Dunlap's Creek with a hope to stay, but she struggles to right the wrongs she'd left behind, build a career outside of writing, and move on from the man who has moved on from her.


Louisa is a modern faith story of life after salvation that openly explores:

The disconnect between who we are and how others perceive usThe struggle in speaking up for our beliefsThe question of when to let go and when to fightThe journey in claiming a new identity


In turns captivating and pointed, Louisa is a novel of a woman coming into the fullness of life God has for her. It's for women who have experienced this for themselves and for women who doubt whether such a life exists. It's for women who understand that a life of faith isn't without struggle or mistakes. Louisa is about restoration - in its grit and glory.
