Shadow of Danger
By Jeanne Marie Leach

This novel pulls you in from the start and keeps you reading! Rachel Ringhold as the heroine captures your heart not only with her quiet dignity and faith, but also her spunk and strength. She’s a special breed of the western woman dotting the pages of our country’s history. We’re caught up in her shadow of danger from page one and unable to be comfortable until the end.
Rachel flees her orphanage home in the face of an undisclosed danger. Her journey from Missouri to Leadville, Colorado is hard, but she’s headed to the only person with whom she feels safe—Seb Jameson. Their friendship began when Seb had also lived at the orphanage and had been strengthened with years of letter writing. Rachel’s young heart was captured, unknown to Seb.
Seb thrills to see his dear friend, helps her settle into new life in Leadville, but fails to see her disappointment when he reveals his engagement. He also fails to see the turbulence in that engagement.
Young Rachel longs for nothing more than to be loved and to have a home and family of her own. She’s managing to accept God’s plans for a single life, when danger surfaces again, bringing those she loves into its snare and causing her to flee once more with all thoughts of happiness dashed.
You can’t help wanting to ‘shake sense’ into Seb, who is way too slow in realizing his heart’s desire, but you’ll warm to a surprise, happy ending which unravels the danger sending Rachel away.
Leach does a credible job of creating memorable characters with strong Christian faith as well as crafting an entertaining story. Get Shadow of Danger today.

I am reinventing myself. Yes, I have decided and so it will be. A favorite thought of mine is from Psalm 92 which says something like this "they will bring forth fruit in old age and remain fresh and green."

Well, I'm not exactly tottering on old age, but will confess a good friend and a good daughter in law, with their delightful blogs, have shamed me into getting back on the band wagon and reinventing myself, blog-wise.

I could say that since my last post, I helped my dear husband in a serious campaign for his first political office and hence, haven't had time to blog. Well, he did not prevail-sssoooo guess I'll have to get in the groove, huh?

Actually, I've been reading some really good books too. Jeannette Walls' memoir, The Glass Castle, entertained, fascinated and infuriated me all at the same time.

Haven Kimmel's memoir, She Got Up Off The Couch, affected me similarly. I recently became acquainted with her mother, the one who 'got up off the couch.' I told her she was a 'living sanctuary.'

Both books are well worth the money as is the latest read I've done-Jeanne Marie Leach's Shadow of Danger. I'm just going to do the right thing with this blog and review that book with my next entry. So check in!

Until then, I Wish You Enough.
