English Summary/英文概要： When Ollie’s daddy, the Reverend Everlasting Love, pulls their travel trailer into Binder to lead a three-day revival, Ollie knows that this town will be like all the others they visit— it is exactly the kind of nothing Ollie has come to expect. But on their first day in town, Ollie meets Jimmy Koppel, whose mother is in jail for murdering his father. Jimmy insists that his mother is innocent, and Ollie believes him. Still, even if Ollie convinces her daddy to stay in town, how can two kids free a grown woman who has signed a confession? Ollie’s longing for a friend and her daddy’s penchant for searching out lost souls prove to be a formidable force in this tiny town where everyone seems bent on judging and jailing without a trial.

Awards/获奖情况："With a Name Like Love is just the sort of book I adore: a couldn’t-put-it-down mystery, richly drawn characters that grabbed me from the get-go, and a vivid small-town setting. Two words for Tess Hilmo’s charming and suspenseful debut novel: Love it!"---Barbara O’Connor, author of The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester
About the Author/作者介绍： When Tess Hilmo was a little girl, she enjoyed singing songs like "This Little Light of Mine" and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." One day, when she was around six years old, she was performing a rather boisterous (and somewhat off-key) rendition of "This Little Light of Mine" when her friend said, “You shouldn’t be singing that song. You’re just a skinny white girl who can’t carry a tune.”
But she couldn’t stop singing. Her friend may have been right, she may have been an awful singer, but that music spoke to her. It made her believe she could do anything her heart desired. It made her feel like the world was full of possibilities.
Fast forward a few years and you would find her, now a mother of three, writing stories and her own music. She still sings those same southern gospel songs to her children…and is still terribly off-key. After writing a song called "Lead Me On," patterned after the classic Negro Spirituals in pentatonic meter, her mother said, “You should write a story to go with that song.”
And she did. With a Name Like Love is that story. It is written to celebrate family and friendship and the historical songs of the south. Her original song, "Lead Me On," is actually featured in the novel! Visit Tess at www.tesshilmo.blogspot.com
作者Tess Hilmo平日除了寫作之餘，亦有創作歌曲。從小熱愛唱歌，特別是黑人的福音歌曲。從歌曲當中獲得許多啟發。書中許多的場景可說是作者的童年縮影。http://www.tesshilmo.com/
