What happens when a shameful past catches up with a young woman who's falling in love with a Godly man?
Susan Kelly, a pretty Irish lass, is also starting anew in Lone Pine, California. Far from her home, she is determined to build an honest life in Lone Pine, free from the deception that marred her past.
Ifor Morgan and his father journey from their home in Wales to the small mining town of Lone Pine seeking refuge from the shame and sorrow of his brother’s fatal scandal.
As Ifor and Susan cautiously connect, Susan’s past catches up with her when familiar faces arrive in town, dragging her back into a web of illegal activity. When a devastating earthquake strikes Lone Pine, the town is thrown into chaos, and secrets come to light, shaking the lives of those least expecting it.
Edwina Kiernan weaves themes of resilience and redemption. I loved that the hero is Welsh and how Edwina uses enough of the language to feel authentic without overwhelming the reader. The characters are richly drawn, and there are twists to the story that will keep you hooked until the very last page.
