And Then There was Grace
by Carolyn R. Scheidies
ISBN: 1931742-86-9
Rated [G]
$6.00 Tradesize paperback
Gwendolyn Glynis has grown into a quiet, withdrawn young woman. The circumstances surrounding the death of her beloved brother
still haunt her along with questions of her own worthiness.
Still, nothing prepares Gwen for a confrontation with the evil man who destroyed her childhood. When Grace withdraws into a
nighmare from which she cannot escape, her parents take her to America hoping Dr. Robin Barrington will be able to help. As Gwen begins to live again, the woman who wants Robin for herself, once more destroys Gwen's world.
Will Gwen find the forgiveness she craves so much? What about Robin? Can he admit his love for the withdrawn young woman?
Can they build together a love rooted in God's
redeeming grace?
AND THEN THERE WAS GRACE is the icing on the Barrington Saga cake. A compelling story with believable, layered characters, GRACE neatly ties up the story threads that author Carolyn Scheidies intertwines so skillfully through the four books.
From the first sentence, GRACE transports the reader to England during the 1800s. Scheidies has done her homework well, weaving together subtle details -- whether describing the mansion's elegant dining room or aristocratic ladies' fashions into an authentic tapestry of the life and times.
The loving relationships that develops between England's Gwendolyn Constance Grace Glynis and Boston's Dr. Robin Barrington artfully contrasts society of the New World with the Old. GRACE is an intriguing multifaceted story, exploring the complex relationships and disastrous problems facing two families.
With Robin's gentle guidance, Grace triumphs over her own fears and faces down her personal "devil." The romance between Grace and Robin is truly a match made in heaven.
