Many Christian families find it challenging to select reading material for their children that aligns with their faith and values. Recent publishing data indicates that of the approximately 4 million books, including self-published titles, released in 2023, only a few thousand could be considered "faith-based", and of those titles, a scant few are suitable for children.
As author Betty Johansen explains on her website, however, Christian fiction is unique in its ability to contribute to an adolescent's spiritual and emotional development. Such novels use storytelling to introduce themes of faith and values, providing life lessons and reassurance through narratives created specifically for young readers.
In the creation of "Lilli's Song", Betty Johansen merges her appreciation and reverence for the Bible with the mystery genre - a literary space that typically does not cater to the Christian faith. The novel builds on a foundation of family values to weave an engaging, intriguing, suspenseful narrative, without ever treading into potentially problematic territory.
As such, one might classify "Lilli's Song" as a "cozy mystery," a subgenre suitable for those who enjoy suspense, but abhor the violence that is so common in the wider mystery genre.
The story itself centers on the disappearance of 14-year-old Lilli in the fictional town of Skyport, Texas. The girl's disappearance inspires a town-wide manhunt, though the case grows increasingly strange as new evidence emerges suggesting that Lilli's vanishing may not be criminal in nature, but supernatural.
The story was inspired by Johansen's experiences as a member of a small community in West Texas - where the tightly knit social fabric of the place can spark ideas of intrigue and subterfuge alike.
In addition to this novel, Johansen has published a range of other fiction and non-fiction works for a wide range of Christian audiences. She remains committed to bringing her faith and family values to life in the form of engaging narratives suitable for all readers.
