In Front of God and Everybody video trailer – Thomas Nelson
Confessions of April Grace: In Front of God and Everybody is a midgrade novel and the first of a series of stories about a rural community in the Ozarks and April Grace Reilly, who changes everything. Centered on the Reilly Family who has lived there for generations and the St. James who reluctantly moved there to start over, it is a true “country mouse” meets “city mouse”. The challenges of tolerance and acceptance and the miracle of saving grandma because of it make this a endearing novel. You will be as captivated by The Reillys as we all were with The Waltons in the 70s.
McCrite has book two in the series so far, Confessions of April Grace: Cliques, Hicks, and Ugly Sticks! is coming out in the fall of 2011, and she is work ing on book three.

Just when April Grace thought the drama was over . . .
After an automobile accident, Isabel St. James—resident drama coach and drama queen—needs help putting together the church play. Mama insists April Grace and Myra Sue will help. April’s fall is now devoted to spending every afternoon with Isabel and Myra Sue—if anyone is as big of a drama queen as Isabel, it’s Myra Sue. Plus, she’s dumb. (Okay, not dumb, but “older sister dumb.”) If that’s not enough, Isabel is wreaking havoc in the community trying to get Rough Creek Road paved, the new boy at school will not leave her alone, and then Mama drops the biggest bombshell of all . . . April Grace is no longer going to be the baby of the family . . .
Girls will completely relate to April and love her sense of humor as she deals with siblings, boys, and the many changes that come with growing up.
Eastgate Church Keeps On Singing is a murder mystery with Carrie Lockwood as the Assistant Pastor and the Sherlock Holmes of Eastgate Church of Hazelray, Missouri. When Carrie and her husband go to New Mexico for a long awaited vacation, the secretly appointed choir director is found in the choir loft with his face smashed in. Concerned about her parishioners, Carrie cuts her siesta short and flies home to unravel a complex chain of events that uncovers much more about her flock than she ever imagined. Ten steps ahead of her twin brother, the police chief, she solves the mystery and puts the puzzle together. Who did it and how will show you why Eastgate Church will keep on singing.
This is the first in her series of Eastgate books:
- Eastgate Church Eats Its Heart Out
- Eastgate Church Pushes Up Daisies
- Eastgate Church Cleans Up
- Eastgate Church Barks Up The Wrong Tree
- Eastgate Church Comes Home To Roost
