Maggie Stovall is trapped inside a person sheâ€™s spent years carefully crafting. Now the truth about who she isâ€”and what sheâ€™s doneâ€”is bursting to the surface and sending Maggie into a spiral of despair. Will she walk away from everything, or can Maggie allow God to take her to a place of ultimate honestyâ€”before itâ€™s too late? ,Maggie Stovall., ,One of the golden people. She has it all together. At least on the surfaceâ€¦ ,Ben Stovall., ,Godly husband. Successful attorney. Has no idea of the darkness about to overtake his lifeâ€¦ ,Amanda Joy., ,Child of society. Abused, broken, thrown away. But her trust in God is still aliveâ€¦ ,When Joy Came to Stay, is the heart-wrenching story of one womanâ€™s descent into the shadows of depression, her husbandâ€™s search for understanding, and a precious childâ€™s unwavering faith. ,"Kingsburyâ€™s poignant tale of a lost and broken family and how theyÂ experience Godâ€™s ,miraculous healing is a sure guarantee to bring hope and joy to her readers." ,
  ,â€”Melody Carlson, bestselling author, Diary of a Teenage Girl series ,
,"A thought-provoking account of the battle of depression in a believerâ€™s life. It leaves ,no doubt that God is loving, merciful, and faithful." ,
  ,â€”Nancy Moser, author, The Mustard Seed series,
,Story Behind the Book,â€œEach of my novels is a piece of my heart. ,Where Yesterday Lives, was my first-ever novel, and as such it is somewhat autobiographical. The childhood story of Ellen Barrett, her love for her parents and siblings, is my storyâ€”though her current story and struggles are fictional. ,On Every Side ,sheds light on the struggle for religious freedom in todayâ€™s climate; something I am passionate about. Finally, ,When Joy Came to Stay, is the story of one womanâ€™s battle against depression and the secrets of her past.â€ ,â€”Karen Kingsbury
