HIDDEN PLACES

One girl.  Two lives.  Three options.

Meet the Author

Bobbi Graffunder grew up exploring the woods and rivers of central Wisconsin but traveled through time and space between the pages of books. A passion for faith, history, and words has led her down avenues of writing ranging from church and homeschool curriculum to blog posts detailing a Protestant view of Catholic beliefs. Hidden Places is Bobbi’s first work of fiction, partially based on her real-life experiences. When Bobbi isn’t busy with a writing project, she can often be found spending time with her family or planning another adventure on Mackinac Island.

 Author Endorsements

“Bobbi Graffunder bravely and honestly presents the intensely conflicted but brightly redemptive faith journey of a young woman facing the choices of an unplanned pregnancy. It is a story of God’s grace and the uneven but eventually beautiful reception of God’s shame-breaking love.”
— John Lynch, former pastor, national speaker and author of On My Worst Day
“Bobbi Graffunder tackles a tough, emotional, multi-faceted social issue with grace, compassion, and level-headedness. Sometimes a story speaks more clearly than a lecture; this is one of those times.”
— Kim Vogel Sawyer, Award-winning author of The Librarian of Boone’s Hollow 
“Bobbi Graffunder’s new novel tackles a dilemma which doesn’t get discussed above a whisper in some churches. With grace, she shares the story of one young woman’s path, from initial shame to God’s glorious forgiveness. Sharing real-world options to counter unexpected consequences, she illustrates God’s great love amid the hard choices. It’s an unfortunately familiar problem in this day and age, yet the outcome is underscored by hope. God is the only One who can bring good out of situations that seem bad.”
— T. Elizabeth Renich, Author of The Shadowcreek Chronicles

What comes to mind when you hear the word “liturgy”? Monks hidden behind brown cloaks chanting Latin? Collective recitation of the Lord’s Prayer? Or perhaps candles, incense, and choirs?

For many Protestants, Catholic Liturgy is a common source of confusion and misunderstanding. It can be overwhelming and uncomfortable for someone who doesn’t understand or know how to participate (or not participate) respectfully. Many Protestants are, in fact, drawn to the concept of liturgy because of the reverence often seen lacking in their churches.
