Genre: Historical
The slightest spark will ignite an explosion. The tinderbox
of broken political and racial relations in France
and Algeria
provides plenty of kindling. And the growing friction, especially in Algeria , will
soon combust. A tentative ceasefire offers little to cool the heat.
In the midst of the turmoil, Gabriella Madison guards the
orphans in her care, while battling jealousy when Anne-Marie Duchemin, David’s
former flame, arrives in Castelnau ,
France
Meanwhile, David is trapped in Algeria , caught in the turmoil of a
country gone mad. He seeks a way to guard his life and, at the same time,
protect the refugees he came to help. And escape seems impossible.
Unable to predict what lies ahead, Gabriella and David learn
that in life, waiting is the hardest part.
The answers lie in two testaments.
TWO TESTAMENTS is rich in description of the European
country side during war time. The story line is very detailed, and even though it
was set in the 1960’s, it almost seems as though it might be current.
The characters have to make some tough choices amidst the
unrest. They are very well developed. Readers will want to read book one in the
Secrets of the Cross series, Two Crosses, first as these books do not
stand alone. Book three, Two Destinies,
released in September 2012 for those who like to read the complete series at
one time. $14.99. 496 pages.
