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

Nancy Mehl lives in Wichita, Kansas with her husband Norman and their dog, Watson. She\u2019s authored thirteen books and is currently at work on her newest series for Bethany House Publishing.<\/p>\n

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

She and her husband attend Believer\u2019s Tabernacle in Wichita.
\nABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Wynter Evans is a promising young reporter for a television station in St. Louis, but even a bright future doesn’t take away her pain over the disappearance of her brother nine years ago. So when she stumbles across a photograph of a boy with an eerie resemblance to him, she can’t pass up the chance to track him down. With research for work as her cover, she sets out with one of the station’s photogs for the place where the picture was taken: the town of Sanctuary.<\/p>\n

Almost as soon as she arrives, she meets the town’s handsome young mayor, Rueben King, and together they begin to uncover long held secrets that could tear the small town apart and change everything Wynter thought she knew about her life. As the truth of her family’s past hides in the shadows, it’s clear someone will stop at nothing to keep the answers she’s searching for hidden forever–even if the cost is Wynter’s very life.<\/p>\n

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

Sanctuary is an isolated town in rural Missouri that is populated primarily by old school Mennonites – and those who like the seclusion and privacy the town offers. When Wynter Evans decides to feature Sanctuary in a travel series for her television station, she also has some personal reasons to spend time there. Odd events, threats, and even a death convince Wynter that she may be closer than she thought to finding her long lost brother.<\/p>\n

Gathering Shadows<\/a> is definitely a page-turner. Its pages are filled with secrets, suspense, and several surprises. The obligatory romance was secondary to the real meat of the story as far as I was concerned although I did like the character of Rueben King. Renewed faith and restored relationships were of prime importance.<\/p>\n

As with all Nanch Mehl’s previous novels set in Sanctuary, I thoroughly enjoyed Gathering Shadows<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
