Nancy Mehl is a brand new author to me. She definitely has an art for writing a book
that is suspenseful with a romantic storyline that was so refreshing to read. I will definitely not hesitate to read more
of her books!!
Sophie Wittenbauer is a young lady that finds herself in a
position that she believes might allow her to become the investigative reporter
that she wants to become. She decides to follow up on some information
that she overheard at the newspaper office about a robbery that occurred several
years ago. She became even more
interested when she realized that a prisoner involved in the robbery was
someone from her past.
Sophie’s investigation leads her to a small town in Missouri
called Sanctuary. She believed that one
of the robbery suspects might be hiding out there. While there, she decides to use a false identity. It didn’t take long for her to realize that lying
about her identity created a web of lies that quickly spiraled out of control.
Sanctuary reminded her of the Mennonite town she was raised in. Her
childhood was full of abusive memories. As
an adult she continued to deal with forgiveness and lack of self-esteem because
of the abuse she suffered. The storyline
takes the reader on her journey to face her past with the help of the people
she meets in Sanctuary while she also searches for the robbery suspect.
As her undercover
investigation continues she develops relationships with many of the people. She realizes that her false identity might be
in danger when she meets a Jonathon, a local pastor who she had feelings for in
her hometown. She quickly realizes that
she still has feelings for Jonathan!. As
their relationship blossoms, her desire to find the robbery suspect continues to
be strong. When she realizes that she is
in danger, things start to fall apart.
Will she find the man she is looking for? Will her lies ruin any chance for a
relationship with Jonathon? This book is
full of suspense and will keep you guessing up to the end. Get it!
