The Soul of a Stranger

By Dana Celich

Description:

William Devreux, Earl of Hartwell, has spent years pursuing worldly vices, but his lifestyle has never relieved his inner turmoil. When he suffers a serious accident in a remote part of England, he awakens to find himself under the care of lovely Charissa Armitage. No one in this out-of-the way place recognizes him, and Will decides to concoct a false identity and escape his wayward life, if only for a few weeks. But he unexpectedly falls in love with Charissa — who, although devoted to God, has secrets of her own — and he discovers that deception does indeed weave a terrible, tangled web.

Book Takeaway:

The book's takeaways are on based on its spiritual themes. First, the reader will see the importance of choosing truth over one's own perceived reality. Second, the reader will be encouraged to bring his or her burden of guilt to Christ, to experience forgiveness and restoration.

Why the author wrote this book:

I was moved by a secular novel in which one of the main characters dies without redemption. The sadness I felt led me to create my own story in which the hero experiences redemption through God's grace, facilitated by the love of a Christian woman.
