About the Book Anna’s Secret

Book: Anna’s Secret

Author: Blossom Turner

Genre: Inspirational Romance

Release Date: May 1, 2019

Anna Clarke has faced loneliness for years, caring for a sick and distant husband. Recently widowed, with all that brought meaning to her life gone, the consummate good girl falls from grace in a moment of weakness and passion.

Horrified to find she is pregnant, she is surprised when those closest to her assume the baby is her late husband’s. Guilt and pride allow the lie to live until her deceit hits a wall when the biological father Dr. Matthew Carmichael comes calling.

Shocked at how one lie bled so easily into another, Anna realizes her reputation of devout Christian living is about to disappear like a leaf caught in a windstorm. She hears the whisper of her loving Heavenly Father, who longs to restore her soul, but does she have the courage to face the scandal and the truth of her feelings toward the handsome Dr. Carmichael?

My Thoughts on Anna’s Secret:

Forgiveness.  It’s one of those hot topics in society these days.  Even non-Christians have been heard to say to those they have wronged that you have to forgive because God says so.  But what happens when you have to forgive yourself?  What will you do to prevent the scandal from tainting you?

Okay.  This was a good book.  I enjoyed reading it.  It has some deep topics within it.  Anna has cared for her sick and dying husband for a long time.  Once he passes away it’s like her purpose is gone.  I can understand that as it had encompassed her and become part of her plus what she did daily.  Now she’s adrift with no real purpose.

When Anna gives in to weakness and then finds herself pregnant what will she do?  At first, it’s easiest to just let everyone think what they’re already thinking.  It’s her recently dead husbands baby.  But is that the truth?

Can Anna let the scandal out and tell the truth?  Will anyone forgive her?  Can she forgive herself?

Great read.  I recommend it to you.

MORE ABOUT WHY I WROTE ANNA’S SECRET

I am a hopeless romantic, it has been at the core of my being from a child up. I dreamed of a love that would whisk me far from the pain of my childhood upbringing.

When I first started to write Anna’s Secret, I had not yet learned all I needed to know about forgiveness. I was half-way through the book when sorrow and betrayal hit my marriage. (See “About Me” at https://blossomturner.com) I stopped writing for years.

However, as God healed the broken and restored my soul, words of love once again danced within my being. God directed that I finish this book weaving in all I learned from the crucible of suffering in my own life. Through understanding the restorative power of God’s forgiveness when humanity fails, I wrote Anna’s Secret with a strong thread of hope woven into its fabric.

Readers have expressed to me that the authenticity of this book has brought them to tears and given them a love story that entertained. However, the part I love the most … Anna’s Secret has inspired some readers to ask God for the help to forgive themselves, or for the power to offer the gift of forgiveness to another.

My prayer is that you will find Anna’s Secret an entertaining romance, inspiration to your soul and that you will enjoy the happy ending … always a happy ending. After all, God is the God of happily ever after, and heaven is the home in which all His children will find the greatest love of all.
