About the author

Nancy Rue is the author of over 100 books for adults and teens, including the Christy Award-winning The Reluctant Prophet, Unexpected Dismounts and Healing Waters (with Steve Arterburn), which was the 2009 Women of Faith Novel of the Year.

Nancy lives on a lake in Tennessee with her Harley-ridin’ husband, Jim, and their two yellow Labs (without whom writing would be difficult).

Reviews

[James Hogan]

Book 3 of the Williamsburg Years. I think this is the book I always forget about, but it's still a solid tale. Rue does a good job of showing a very-stressed out Thomas trying to deal with all of the stresses in his life. And at the end, to whom should we go? Why, we should go to God, who truly takes our burdens and gives us rest.

What a joy to revisit some of my favorite characters.
