Felicia Ferguson

 

Christian author, Felicia Ferguson, is a writer of fictional characters overcoming trauma, abuse, or past tragedy with a biblical worldview to help readers build faith for the journey. 

I was introduced to Ferguson with The Ties That Loose, which is a gripping (fictional) story about the wife of an Air Force pilot who was shot down over Bosnia. Her father had been killed in action in Vietnam.

"While clearing out her mother's estate, Dani Robicheau Kirkland makes a shocking discovery: a box containing pieces of her parents' life hidden away after her father was declared Killed in Action in the Vietnam War. Inside she finds her mother had once clung to faith and the desperate certainty her husband was alive before she spiraled into the devastated alcoholic Dani has known.

Dani's F-15 pilot husband, Chris, chafes under his father's expectations to live up to his granddad's legacy as WWII pilot. While the Bosnian War rages, Chris is tasked with a clandestine mission: flying an unsanctioned diplomat into Bosnia. But when his plane goes down due to a bird strike, Chris is trapped behind enemy lines with little hope of rescue.

Dani is terrified she'll nosedive like her mother did, but still clings to hope and a certainty that Chris remains alive despite the Air Force's doubts. As she searches for a way to bring Chris home and he strives to stay alive, they each battle their family histories desperate to find God's future for them both."
