LAKE CITY, Ark. - s4story -- Author and licensed professional counselor April Timms announces the release of her debut Christian historical fiction novel, Soiled Dove. Set in the early 1900s, the novel follows the harrowing yet hope-filled journey of a young girl fighting to escape the horrors of human trafficking.

With faith as her anchor, the protagonist's story unfolds as both a tale of survival and a testament to God's power to redeem even the most broken circumstances. Unlike many works of historical fiction, Soiled Dove weaves together the brutality of a dark chapter in history with the light of spiritual hope. Readers are drawn into the painful realities of exploitation and the strength required to break free, while also witnessing how God's presence offers healing and purpose.

The novel is at once a work of suspense, historical insight, and Christian inspiration—written for readers who appreciate stories that balance raw truth with divine redemption.

The inspiration for Soiled Dove came to Timms in a dream, a vision she felt compelled to bring to the page. With a deep sense of spiritual calling, she wrote the novel as both a cautionary story of human brokenness and a powerful reminder that God is present even in the darkest valleys.

Intended for mature young adult and adult readers, the novel resonates with anyone who has endured hardship, confronted injustice, or sought hope beyond suffering. Its themes of faith, resilience, and renewal speak directly to those looking for stories that reveal God's hand in even the most difficult trials.
