Cathy is a good friend and very talented author who has written many award-winning books, including Night Bird Calling, The Medallion, Secrets She Kept, and Promise Me This.

Here’s more about A Hundred Crickets Singing . . .
In wars eighty years apart, two young women living on the same Appalachian estate determine to aid soldiers dear to them and fight for justice, no matter the cost.
1944. When a violent storm rips through the Belvidere attic in No Creek, North Carolina, exposing a hidden room and trunk long forgotten, secrets dating back to the Civil War are revealed. Celia Percy, whose family lives and works in the home, suspects the truth could transform the future for her friend Marshall, now fighting overseas, whose ancestors were once enslaved by the Belvidere family. When Marshall’s Army friend, Joe, returns to No Creek with shocking news for Marshall’s family, Celia determines to right a long-standing wrong, whether or not the town is ready for it.
1861. After her mother’s death, Minnie Belvidere works desperately to keep her household running and her family together as North Carolina secedes. Her beloved older brother clings to his Union loyalties, despite grave danger, while her hotheaded younger brother entangles himself and the family’s finances within the Confederacy. As the country and her own home are torn in two, Minnie risks her life and her future in a desperate fight to gain liberty and land for those her parents intended to free, before it’s too late.
With depictions of a small Southern town “reminiscent of writings by Lisa Wingate” (Booklist on Night Bird Calling), Cathy Gohlke delivers a gripping, emotive story about friendship and the enduring promise of justice.

Thank you for this wonderful blog posting, Carrie, to celebrate the release of A Hundred Crickets Singing! You are a gem, my dear friend!
Hi Cathy, I’m so happy to help spread the word about this wonderful story! I loved Night Bird Calling, and I’m delighted to go back to No Creek and catch up with characters there!
I’ve read seven of Cathy’s books and would like to read the others. I liked all of them but perhaps Band of Sisters is my favorite if I have to choose one.
Hello!
I read Secrets She Kept and it was so good! I really enjoyed delving into Liselotte’s secrets and the connection to her daughter. The description of Liselotte’s father as a German grandfather was so reminiscent of my own German grandfather in terms of personality (not WWII secrets!) but it felt like I was reading about him in several scenes. It was an amazing feeling! I recommended the book to a good friend of mine who also loves Christian fiction and she also thought it was wonderful!
“William Henry Is a Fine Name” is my favorite book by Cathy Gohlke. This book was a selection for our church’s book club. Since then we have read all her books. I am a huge fan! So I come back to my “first love” but love the rest as well!!
I loved William Henry too! So glad you are also a fan of Cathy’s book!
This sounds like a book I would love to reading!! I will definitely be adding it to my “to read” list.
I think you’ll really enjoy it, Lorraine! Have you read the first book which is related, Night Bird Calling? I’d read that one first, then A hundred Crickets Singing.
I love that you let us know about Cathy’s new book. Please enter me in the giveaway!
I have read all of Cathy’s books, except this one. I would say my favorite would be either Night Bird Calling or well, it is too hard to pick. I would love to enter the giveaway.
I’ve read five of her books, and I think Night Bird Calling would be my favorite out of those.
I have not yet read any of Cathy’s books and have heard so many good things about them!
I haven’t read one of her books yet, but this one is going to the top of my TBR pile!!!
My favorite book of Cathy’s is “Saving Amelie.”
I haven’t heard of her! Exciting to have another new author to add to my reading list!!
Hi Christina, I hope you’ll be able to read one of her books. They are all amazing.
Thanks for the lovely post, Carrie! Cathy’s books are fantastic and I’d love to win a copy of this one! My favorite of her books so far is The Medallion.
Hi Winnie, I loved the Medallion. It was such a wonderful picture of sacrificial love. Thanks for entering!
I would love to read these two books, would you please enter my name in the giveaway.
I have not read any of hers yet. I’d like very much to read this one or the previous Nightbird story.
I’ve read the one about the Titanic years ago. I have several on my bookshelves or in my kindle but need to get them read!
I haven’t read any of her books yet, but I’m excited to read her latest release!!
not yet; A Hundred Crickets Singing
I’ve read quite a few of her books, most recently, Night Bird Calling. I don’t know that I can pick a favorite! I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve read! This one sounds intriguing.
Apparently I have not read any of Cathy’s books! This one sounds very good!
I have not read any of your books but would love to. I would love to read A Hundred Crickets Singing. Anything with a family history twist or connection would be right up my alley.
I just finished Secrets She Kept recently and enjoyed it. I got to meet Corrie ten Boom in person too!
I have not yet read any of Cathy’s books. I have Night Bird Calling on my list of books that I want to read. From what I have read about Cathy, I’m sure I would enjoy any of her books.
I have some of her books but have not gotten to them yet. They are in my huge TBR 😀 This one is definitely on my wishlist!
I think the only book I have read by Cathy is Nightbird Calling. I enjoyed it so much I passed it on to my aunt to read. Would love to do the same with this one.
My favorite is Saving Amelie but I’ve enjoyed them all!
I have yet to read one of your books. I think I would like to read the one about the 100 crickets. Sounds intriguing
I have never read any of these but I will definitely be looking for them. They sound amazing!
I’m so glad I looked up your website and was introduced to a new author…for me. I am retired and read ALL the time. Finding new authors and books, that I like, becomes challenging at times. I have read 4 of your books, Carrie. They are so good. Looking forward to more by you and any you recommend.
