Description
A woman with a past, a man determined to uncover the truth, and a secret that could tear them apart forever. A Grieving Husband: Amon Cayle needs a seamstress. He has spent the last year rebuilding his life after the tragic death of his wife in a kitchen fire, the same fire that nearly took the life of his eldest son as well. The business of grieving their loss, as well as the work of his tobacco plantation, has caused him to neglect the simplest of tasks. His family now needs clothes and despite his dislike for Mary McKechnie, and their shared past, he offers her the job. A Desperate Mother: Mary McKechnie needs a job. Her brother has threatened to take her daughters and place them into indentured service if she can't provide for them. He hasn't made it any easier by insisting she work only for fellow Friends. When Amon Cayle offers her a job, she has little choice but to accept. A Devastating Secret: The last time Amon spoke with Mary, after she walked away from him into the arms of another man over twenty years ago, she assured him she was not keeping secrets. He didn't believe her then, and he doesn't believe her now. While she is working for him, he is determined to find answers. She is just as determined to not give them. Will Mary be able to save Amon from the past? Or will his love threaten to destroy them both? Keeping Secrets is the first book in the Children of the Light Series. The Society of Friends (Quakers) and colonial Virginia in the years preceding the French and Indian War provide the backdrop for this sweeping historical about families trying to live their faith in a new land. Following Keeping Secrets will be the second and third books of the trilogy: Breaking Promises and Binding Fire. Fans of series books, especially Inspirational/Christian, will enjoy this series of faith, love, and redemption.
