She is a graduate of Texas A&M University and an award-winning novelist of Christian fiction whose first published work jumped onto the Christian Booksellers Association bestseller list in its first month of release.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

LOVE CAN COVER A MUTITUDE OF SINS

Washed ashore on Fairweather Key, Ruby O’Shea and her three nieces─the offspring of the pirate Thomas Hawkins and Ruby’s late sister─have a chance for a new beginning as Ruby takes a job in a boardinghouse and the girls are passed off as her daughters. But will Ruby be able to confess all when she falls for Micah Tate, a widower, wrecker, and soon-to-be preacher?

Micah is determined to marry the young woman who has captured his heart despite knowing she has something to hide. But will he be able to remain true to his vows when his lady love’s shady past comes to light?

Captain Thomas Hawkins will go to any length to discover the whereabouts of his daughters. What will his determination cost the folks of Fairweather Key?

When Ruby finds herself bereft of her newfound love and protector, will she run away in an attempt to escape her present as she did her past? Will Micah’s love cover the multitude of Ruby’s sins, or will Ruby’s duplicity cost her everything?

MY THOUGHTS:
This sequel to Beloved Captive, which was featured in a blog tour here, tells the story of Ruby O'Shea and her attempt to fashion anew life for her and her nieces. Although it is a work of fiction book I know that the reality of many women's lives during the time period in which the novel is set was indeed dependent upon the whims of men. And there were scant options for a woman to make money to support herself and her family if she didn't have a man. And sadly, as today, society lacked compassion and understanding for those trying to escape their circumstances and start anew. This story reminds us that Gods grace extends to all, and that the ground is level at the foot of the cross.

Happy Reading!
