You will very quickly feel that you know her, and will be richer for the knowledge. </span></p><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;height:auto;"><div>She comes to Israel, seeking meaning and purpose for her life, following breast cancer and the demise of her long-standing marriage. There, God claims her and lays a trail of miracles that lead her from her native England to a new husband of faith in Atlantic Canada. <br />Though she is upfront about her ending, you’ll find yourself longing to learn the next step in her discovery of new love and deeper faith journey. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. Potentially, you’ll be following the twists and turns of her journey into the wee small hours. <br />‘A mysterious rug with a life-changing message, a Ruth-type love story, fascinating interactions with other believers, poetic descriptions of landscapes many native Canadians take for granted—and a message of God’s love and salvation,’ writes critic Margaret Welwood. ‘Bobbie Ann Cole’s story is a little too strange and untidy to be fiction. As a true story, it will leave you satisfied, yet wanting to know more.’ <br />‘Often times, life will take us to the end of our rope, leaving us helpless and at our wit’s end. Yet, even in such dire situations, our God is not helpless. He will bring in plentiful harvest – a harvest of renewal, hope, joy and happiness in our life,’ says Khamneithang Vaiphei. ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow is an incredible testimony that will have a profound impact on you.’ <br />If mystery, romance, women’s faith issues, the Jewish roots of Christianity, Christian living or outreach appeal to you, you will find much to enjoy.</div><div> </div></div>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p>Amazon readers say:</p> <p>&quot;Awesome novel that trancends time!&quot;</p> <p>&quot;Everything about this novel and the character depictions were just riveting. The seamless transition between the past and the present made the pages and stories flow effortlessly.&quot;</p> <p>&quot;Secrets and Sins is a great look at friendship, love, betrayal, forgiveness, and family!! Over 60 years of secrets come to a head in ways that you'd never expect!! I loved this book, and looking forward to updates on these characters!&quot;</p> <p>&quot;I was hooked from the first page! Wasn't just the &quot;usual&quot; romance. The characters were &quot;real&quot; and the storyline kept you guessing.&quot;</p> <p>&quot;</p> <p>Secrets &amp; Sins is a beautifully constructed novel which will take the reader through a range of emotions as the remarkably well-written plot twists showcase the characters flaws and strengths. My feelings often flip flopped about a character as an eye-opening surprise revealed another layer or motive of the character, and I often thought what would I do in their situation.</p> <p>The past and present details are seamlessly woven into the story with a richness of language that folded me right into their world. I enjoyed how each character was developed and I am sure many will nod their heads and recognize themselves and others. I so appreciated the realistic situations highlighting the magnetic pull of the family bond against the desire to have their own dreams and desires come true. But at the end of the day it is a marvelous telling about the sweet-and-sour spectrum of a life lived.</p> <p>Delightful, suspenseful, charming, and soul-satisfying on the many aspects of love – motherly love, fatherly love, sisterly love, and sensual love makes this a stay-up-all-night read. I highly recommend to book clubs as there is much fodder for a lively discussion.&quot;</p> <p> </p>
