Travelers Rest

GIVEAWAY

TATLOCK, ANN
TRAVELERS REST

A YOUNG WOMAN determined to honor her commitment...
AN INJURED SOLDIER convinced life is no longer worth living...
A RETIRED DOCTOR certain it's too late to be forgiven...
Jane Morrow has a dilemma, and love alone may not solve it. Her faith has never been strong, yet somehow she hopes God will answer her prayers and tell her what to do. The answer she finds may not be at all what she expected...

My Review:

 Profound. The kind of book that makes you a better person for having lived within its pages for a few hours. This character-driven  story unfolds with a rich blend of drama and poignancy, but there's humour tucked in there as well.And life lessons well worth learning. Like the power to influence for good just by having the courage to try.

And, oh my, the characters! And the cunning way their disparate lives are woven together. A purely stunning, gorgeous book that has left me near speechless.

  1. Profound is a perfect description. This is one of those books I'll read over and over again. It's appeal should reach across genre.

    (As usual, don't enter me. We seem to be reading the same books at the moment.)

  10. Good luck writing that novel, K.L. Exciting stuff and yes, reading helps with the inspiration.

    Ann is new to me too, Pam. Can't believe I didn't pick up on her before now! So many books, so little time!

    Oh, Karen, it goes beyond intriguing, so rich and full and...blissful sigh...

    rubynreba you'll enjoy the journey to the answer!

    Liz -- the cover is great isn't it? Very subtle but makes an impact and complements the story for sure.

    Good luck everyone!

  17. This book sounds very emotional but in a good way. I have read profound stories and they resonate with you for so long! I've never read a book by Ann Tatlock before but I'm off to check out her backlist.

    Have a great weekend!
