About The Book
Title: The Ties That Loose
Author: Felicia Ferguson
Publisher: Salt & Light Publishing
Release Date: May 23, 2025
Genre: military romantic suspense / women’s fiction
Can you really trust God when life plummets out of your control?
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.
Family ties ensnare them. Can God loose their grip forever?
Excerpt
Danielle Robicheau Kirkland spewed a huff, hoping to loosen her sweat-lodged bangs from her forehead. Swampy Louisiana humidity saturated Mama’s attic, thickening air already soaked with memories. Though the ladder access remained open, it offered no escape from either the heat or her duty.
She rubbed her cheek against her shoulder, hoping to soothe the abrasive tingle from the mounds of pink insulation, an irritating result from a prior swipe with her fiberglass-covered gloves. But the prickling itch continued. Sighing, she surrendered her battle and stared at the stacks of boxes near the attic entrance.
Christmas decorations, high school memorabilia, and childhood clothes. Nothing of earth-shattering importance, not that she’d expected it to be. Mama was neither a hoarder nor a collector. Any things of value had long been sold to finance her drinking.
Dani smothered the flare of anger. The woman was dead. Yet here Dani was, still responsible for her. Once she finished cleaning out Mama’s house, though, she’d be free.
