A Thousand Voices (Tending Roses)

A Thousand Voices by Lisa Wingate is an emotional novel in the Tending Roses series, exploring family, identity, heritage, and the deep connection between our hearts and our pasts. The story follows Dell Jordan, a young woman who was adopted at thirteen after a childhood marked by poverty and neglect.

Now twenty, Dell has built a promising future through music, with opportunities that could take her abroad, into teaching, and toward a scholarship at Juilliard. But unanswered questions about her birth mother, her father, and her unknown blood relatives continue to pull at her heart. Searching for the truth, Dell follows the only clue she has — a Native American name on her birth certificate — into Oklahoma’s Kiamichi Mountains and the modern Choctaw Nation.

Thoughtful and heartfelt, A Thousand Voices is a strong choice for readers of women’s fiction, family drama, inspirational fiction, adoption stories, and novels about belonging, ancestry, and healing.
