Travel back to medieval Scotland with this great inspirational tale of faith and compassion
A Sanctuary of Secrets . . .
Gavin MacKenzie, a chieftain heir who is hired to restore the ancient Castle of Braigh, discovers a hidden village of outcasts who have created their own private sanctuary from the world. Among them is Serena Boyd, a mysterious and comely lass, who captures Gavin’s heart in spite of harboring a deadly past that could destroy her future.
The villagers happen to be keeping an intriguing secret as well, and when a fierce enemy launches an attack against them, greed leads to bitter betrayal. Then, as Gavin prepares a defense, the villagers unite in a bold act of faith, showing how God’s love is more powerful than any human force on earth.
Be sure you have tissues at the ready when reading this book. It will have you in tears in spots, but there are enough joyous situations as well. I love Scotland and I love historic novels. Most of all, I love Christian novels. This book hits all three points! Enjoy! A must read!
Another GREAT book from Taylor!! The beginning got my interest immediately and I fell inlove with Serena and her mother right away. I promised myself I'd only read a few chapters and then get ready for the night. Didn't happen.....I couldn't put the story away and cried in amazement the last 100 pages.
Jennifer has crafted a wonderful story that gives the reader a glimpse into 1400 Scotland and their view of the disabled. Jennifer brings the story full circle as she sprinkles clues throughout the plot, bringing the book to a satisfying ending. Along with the obvious romantic twists between Serena and Gavin, the plot line that takes the reader through the justice system of medieval times is a compelling page turner. The author's meticulous research creates for the reader a wonderful historical adventure.
This beautiful story was so well written that I cried with the main characters during the agonizing events of the final chapters. I know this will be a book I will return to again and again.
