THE BOOK
THE BLURB
Bedfordshire, England, 1820: Ruined by the sins of her
father, Juliet Finch is cast into a life of self-reliance. Survival is a harsh
taskmaster, but she is a quick learner and excels at tracking and snaring wild
game to feed herself. Juliet embraces her new identity until the day Henry
Russell catches her poaching on his land—a crime punishable by death. Henry,
however, has other offenses on his mind: namely, the troublesome stalker who’s
making a misery of his sister’s life. To try to put a stop to her torment,
Henry charges Juliet with tracking the elusive villain so he can be brought to
justice. Using her skills, Juliet hunts down the rogue. . .but may just become
the prey herself.
THE AUTHOR
I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which basically gives me two options: choke back massive amounts of Prozac or write fiction. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I seek to glorify God in all that I write--except for that graffiti phase I went through as teenager.
MY REVIEW
This may very well be my favorite Michelle Griep story yet!
In many ways I can relate to Juliet—the need for approval from others and the sense that she can never attain it; the feeling that she has to be the one to do all the things, and fix all the things. Of course, she face situations—and society—that I do not. Still, she did what she had to do to survive. And there’s strength of character in that.
I’ve nothing but admiration for Henry Russell. Had he followed the letter of the law, well, there wouldn’t have been a story to tell. But circumstance—and his discerning heart—made all the difference.
As always, Ms. Griep tugs the reader right into the story-world, and reading any of her stories becomes not just a pastime, but an experience.
