Frayed Promises by Lynn U. Watson
Sequel to The BookFest® Award Winner,
Tangled Promises
Wurttemberg,
Germany, 1881
“I’ll keep your secret. But,
Clara.” Oma looked her granddaughter in the eye. “Choices carry
consequences.”
Clara and Daniel--the Baron’s daughter and the family carriage
driver, followed their hearts and married secretly, circumventing
nobility’s rules. They conduct their lives separately while
sneaking every opportunity to be together. When Clara is forced to
reveal her marriage, can she also hide the life growing inside her,
and what punishment awaits from her father?
If Vati sends her away, Daniel promises to follow. But unexpected
family troubles bring them face-to-face with the words of Proverbs
16:9. A man's heart deviseth his
way: but the Lord directeth his steps.
Her grandmother’s last warning spins like
a tempest threatening to shipwreck their joy and fray every promise
they have made.
Will they trust that God gives
impossibilities beautiful endings?
If you enjoy stories of faith in the face of society's pressures
and trusting God in times of struggle, you'll love this closed-door
romance that will keep you guessing until the end. For readers of
Tracie Peterson and Ann H. Gabhart.
NOTE: Inconvenient pregnancy, sanctity of life, and past abortion
are a part of this story—handled with gentleness and
grace.
