Meg Moseley's debut novel, When Sparrows
Fall, is now available from Multnomah
Books.
Freedom. Safety. Love. Miranda vows to
reclaim them--for herself, and for her
children.
A widow and mother of six, Miranda Hanford leads a
quiet, private life. When the pastor of her close-knit
church announces his plans to move the entire
congregation to another state, Miranda jumps at the
opportunity to dissolve ties with Mason Chandler and his
controlling brand of “shepherding.” But then Mason
threatens to unearth secrets only he knows, and Miranda
feels trapped, terrified she’ll be unable to protect her
children.
Professor Jack Hanford is more than surprised when he
gets a call from his estranged sister-in-law’s oldest
son, Timothy, informing him that Miranda has taken a
serious fall and he has been named legal guardian of her
children while she recovers. Quickly charmed by
Miranda’s children, Jack brings some much-needed life
into the sheltered household. But his constant
challenging of the family’s conservative lifestyle makes
the recovering mother uneasy and defensive—despite
Jack’s unnerving appeal.
As Jack tries to make sense of the mysterious Miranda
and the secrets she holds so tightly, Mason’s pressure
on her increases. With her emotions stirring and freedom
calling, can Miranda find a way to unshackle her family
without losing everything?
"Rich, deep, and painfully honest. When Sparrows
Fall is a lovely work of fiction that portrays a
side to American freedoms that is too real to
ignore."
—Cindy Woodsmall, New York Times
best-selling author of When the Soul
Mends
“With her debut When Sparrows Fall, Meg Moseley
writes with passion and daring about a young woman’s

new voice in Christian fiction.”

Miracle of Mercy Land and Saints in

"Meg Moseley is the diamond in the haystack you’ve
been looking for. She’s a rising star who
will have a
permanent place on my keeper shelf. In her remarkable
debut novel, When Sparrows
Fall, Moseley
spins a tale of depth, poignancy, and humor. I savored
every page and after I
turned the last, I simply sat
for a while, basking in the aftermath of a story well
told."
—Deeanne Gist, best-selling,
award-winning author of A Bride Most
Begrudging
"Meg Moseley has penned a fantastic debut with
When Sparrows Fall. It’s a story of darkness
and light which she masterfully weaves so tightly, the
reader can fully understand just how those seeking God
can fall victims to the cult-like practices of false
prophets. Still, in this thought- provoking, cautionary
tale of extremism, Moseley drops in delightful moments
of pure joy. Hers is a fresh new voice that readers—like
me—should welcome with open arms."
—Allison Pittman, author of
Lilies in Moonlight
"When a college professor becomes unwitting guardian
to a brood of precocious and sheltered home-schoolers,
the resulting culture clash is just the tip of the
iceberg. Meg Moseley writes with a deft hand, bringing a
deep sense of humanity to her struggling, sometimes
haunted characters. When Sparrows Fall packs
plenty of surprises, not the least of which is the way
grace can break out in the most unexpected places and
the hardest of hearts."
—J. Mark Bertrand, author of
Back on Murder
“With a crisp, witty style, Meg Moseley pens a
poignant story that will take your breath away and
surprise you with its depth of heart. A stunning
novel.”
—C. S. Lakin, author of
Someone to Blame
