The Lightkeeper's Daughter -01- Mercy Falls

Publisher's Preview

Women are busy. Whether their energy is expended at home or at the office, women find themselves overwhelmed with the to-do lists in their life, and they long for time away from it all so they can really hear Gods still small voice. But when I pored over the pages of Scripture, says author Sharon Jaynes, I discovered that some of Gods most memorable messages were not delivered while men and women were away on a spiritual retreat, but right in the middle of everyday life. He spoke to Gideon while he was threshing wheat and to shepherds while they were watching their flocks by night. Using biblical wisdom and practical insights from her own life, Sharon invites readers to explore answers to the heart cry, How can I hear the voice of God? Includes helpful study guide.

At a lavish estate in Mercy Falls, California, Addie Sullivan finds danger—and quite possibly the love of her life.

Growing up as the lightkeeper’s daughter on a remote island at the turn of the century, Addie Sullivan has lived a hardscrabble life. When a long-lost and wealthy relative finds her and enlists her to work as a governess at a lavish estate, she hopes to discover the truth of her heritage. But at Eaton Hall, nothing is as it seems. Not the idyllic family she hoped for, not the child she was hired to help, not even the aloof man she’s immediately attracted to. Soon she must turn for help to Lieutenant John North, a man who views her with suspicion.

As Addie edges closer to the truth, danger threatens even as her romance with John blossoms and together they unravel a decades-old mystery. As Addie faces down her enemy, she discovers that faith in her one true Father is all she needs

Staff Recommend:

"Many of you are familiar with Colleen Coble's riveting mysteries.

These three books, while they digress from her usual writing to a gentler time, still have a element of mystery, but put an equal focus on relationships.

They make for a nice easy read, and you get quite attached to the main characters, as she carries each one over to the next book.

So, make a nice cup of tea, relax, and enjoy!"
