Sofi's Bridge

By Christine Lindsay

Description:

Seattle Debutant Sofi Andersson will do everything in her power to protect her sister who is suffering from shock over their father’s death. Charles, the family busy-body, threatens to lock Trina in a sanatorium—a whitewashed term for an insane asylum—so Sofi will rescue her little sister, even if it means running away to the Cascade Mountains with only the new gardener Neil Macpherson to protect them. But in a cabin high in the Cascades, Sofi begins to recognize that the handsome immigrant from Ireland harbors secrets of his own. Can she trust this man whose gentle manner brings such peace to her traumatized sister and such tumult to her own emotions? And can Neil, the gardener continue to hide from Sofi that he is really Dr. Neil Galloway, a man wanted for murder by the British police? Only an act of faith and love will bridge the distance that separates lies from truth and safety.

Book Takeaway:

Your attempts to save your loved ones may actually do more harm than good. Trust in the Lord to protect them, or even let Him take them through the dark valleys so that He can bring them out to the other side of heartache to true joy in Him.

Why the author wrote this book:

Often we try to save the ones we love by ourselves. So many of us have that "savior" quality to our personalities. I'm a bit guilty of that, and had to learn to trust my loved ones to the Lord. So I wrote a book where the hero and the heroine are both savior type personalities, and how their attempts to "save" their families only ended up making things worse.
