"Anna’s Secret " by Blossom Turner was a really touching and heart felt story about real people in real situations.I really liked this book and the writing style. I am eagerly awaiting more books from her.

This is a story about unforgiveness and forgiveness and gossip. The story is "real life". It deals with faith, family and making the wrong choices and finally doing what is right. I cannot relate totally with Anne's sin, but I can relate to her loneliness. This book deals with premarital sex and and pregnancy. There is talk of abortion and adoption. I really absorbed this story from beginning to ending. Yes, it is a clean read but at times it seemed the passion was getting out of hand but it is a clean read and I truly recommend it, because it clearly shows that one sin isn't any greater than another in God's eyes and if we confess, He forgives us.

I really like Preacher Harry's sermon on John 8:1-11. It really made me rethink how us Christians judge others for what we think are big or little sins.

There is also a surprising twist towards the end of book.

I truly recommend all reader read this book and learn not to be so judgmental.

If my granddaughters who are ages 17 and 18, were readers, I would definitely recommend they read this book, so I say this book is for anyone who truly loves to read a book that challenges you.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

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.
