Surrendered

By Jennifer Sienes

Description:

After the reading of her father’s will, Tess O’Shay’s panic attacks return. In death, Sean O’Shay is attempting to accomplish what he couldn’t do in life—force Tess to finish her education, a dream she abandoned after being raped on campus. Unless she complies with her father’s wishes, she will lose all claim to the only home she’s ever known as well as to the family business. Worse, she’ll have to give up guardianship of her younger sister to Jake Holland, a secretive man fleeing from his past. Fine! She’ll show Jake and her father. She’ll muster whatever meager energy and strength she has, get her degree, and keep what matters most to her.
No matter what.
Then the man who assaulted her reappears, shattering what little strength she has left. Now she must dig deep to find the remnants of her mustard-seed faith…because that’s the only way she can face the past and right a wrong in order to secure the future.

Book Takeaway:

When we trust in God enough to Surrender our lives, even in the midst of deep trauma, He will bless us beyond what we can hope for or imagine.

Why the author wrote this book:

I fell in love with the main character, Tess O'Shay, when she had a bit part in a prior book of mine. She was edited out of that book, but I couldn't get her out of my head. It was as if she became a real person whose story needed to be told.
