The Falcon and the SparrowBy MaryLu TyndallDescription:
Against the European upheaval of the Napoleonic wars, a young timid lady is forced to betray her own country or watch her brother die. When Dominique Dawson arrives at the London home of Admiral Randal as a governess for his son, her real purpose is to steal valuable Admiralty documents for the French, but she soon discovers she faces more enemies besides her own fear: an admiral’s sister determined to destroy her, a jealous woman who wants her gone, and a London dandy who insists on courting her. Will Dominique find the strength she needs in God to risk the gallows and save her brother? But will it be enough to betray the man she has come to love? Book Takeaway:No matter now frightened you are, God is always with you and will see you through every difficulty if you lean on Him. Why the author wrote this book:I wanted to portray a heroine who isn't your normal strong, confident heroine, but someone who is timid, insecure and frightened. Through many difficulties and frightening situations, it is my hope that I show through Dominique that God will NEVER abandon you, no matter how bleak things appear, that He is with you, His angels watch over you, and He will work everything out for His glory and your good in the end. |
