All of Nancy\u2019s novels have an added touch \u2013 something for your spirit as well as your soul. \u201cI welcome the opportunity to share my faith through my writing,\u201d Nancy says. \u201cIt\u2019s a part of me and of everything I think or do. God is number one in my life. I wouldn\u2019t be writing at all if I didn\u2019t believe that this is what He\u2019s called me to do. I hope everyone who reads my books will walk away with the most important message I can give them: God is good, and He loves you more than you can imagine. He has a good plan especially for your life, and there is nothing you can\u2019t overcome with His help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Lizzie Engel is used to running away. At eighteen, she left her Mennonite hometown, Kingdom, Kansas, with plans never to return.<\/p>\n

But five years later, the new life she built is falling apart. Lizzie knows she’s being followed, and she’s certain the same mysterious stranger is behind the threatening letters she’s received. Realizing she’ll have to run again, the only escape Lizzie can manage is a return to the last place she wants to go.<\/p>\n

Once she arrives in Kingdom, Lizzie is confident she’ll be safe until she comes up with a new plan. In reacquainting herself with the town and its people–especially her old friend, Noah Housler–she wonders if she judged her hometown and her Mennonite faith too harshly. However, just as she begins to come to terms with her roots, Lizzie is horrified to discover the danger she ran from is closer than ever.<\/p>\n

No longer sure who to trust and fearful for her life and the lives of those around her, Lizzie finds she has only one place left to run–to the Father whose love is inescapable.<\/p>\n

\nMY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inescapable<\/a> is a mystery\/suspense set in the isolated old order Mennonite town of Kingdom, Kansas. Although the novel is a page turner with sufficient twists and surprises to keep most mystery lovers happy, I felt that its real strength was in its character development. The interaction between characters varied from loving and supportive to hostile which had a strong influence on decisions made by the primary characters.<\/p>\n

As Lizzie faced various trials in her life. she was finally able to learn that the only way she could survive was by trusting God to take care of her situation. By letting go of her anger and unforgiveness toward her father and the people of Kingdom, she was finally able to find the peace she had been searching for in her life. Inescapable<\/a> has a strong message of forgiveness and reconciliation and ended well. I found the details about the old order Mennonites to be interesting. They were an entirely different group than the Mennonites I encounter in our part of the country.<\/p>\n

Inescapable<\/a> was a satisfying read in all respects. I think that readers who enjoy Amish fiction and\/or mystery suspense would find it to their taste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
