Julie Jamrock and The Big Mistake

By G. L. Harper

Julie Jamrock and the Big Mistake
Book Two of the Julie Jamrock Series

A heartwarming story about courage, honesty, and the unbreakable bonds of family love.

Julie adores the music that fills her warm, colorful home-especially the beautiful fiddle passed down through generations of her mother's Irish family. When curiosity gets the better of her one Saturday morning, she reaches for the precious instrument, longing to make just one note of her own.

But in an instant, everything changes. A terrible crack. Splintered wood. And a secret that feels too big and too scary to tell.

As Julie hides what happened, the weight of her lie grows heavier each day. She can't eat, can't sleep, and can't enjoy the things she loves. When her mother searches everywhere for the missing fiddle, Julie's heart breaks a little more. She's convinced that telling the truth will change everything-that one mistake might cost her the love she treasures most.

What Julie discovers instead changes everything in a different way: that families are built on forgiveness, that broken things can be mended, and that the bravest thing any of us can do is tell the truth-even when we're afraid.

Perfect for children ages 6-9, Julie Jamrock and the Big Mistake opens gentle conversations about:

Finding courage when facing our mistakesThe relief that comes with honestyUnderstanding that love doesn't break when we mess upConnecting with family heritage and traditionThe difference between accidents and intentional harm

With vibrant illustrations and emotional authenticity, this story reminds young readers that they are loved not because they're perfect, but because of who they are-mistakes and all.

What readers are saying:

"This book gave my daughter the courage to tell me about something she'd been hiding for weeks. We both cried, then we talked, and now we're closer than ever."

"The perfect story for teaching kids that honesty is always worth it, even when it's hard."

"I love how this series celebrates heritage without making it the 'lesson'-it's just part of Julie's beautiful, normal life."
