About the author
Tracey Hoffmann
6 books7 followersAnyone who knows Tracey would be quick to agree that she's one of "the good people" - definitely someone worthy of being called a friend. That's who Tracey is to everyone (known or unknown) she's a friend.
Tracey has a tireless passion to see the wrongs of the world put right and outworks this passion through her family, friends and writings. Tracey never needs prompting twice to help someone in need and her career path has always been aligned to lending a hand. As a professional counsellor Tracey has lead many adults and children on a journey of self awakening and healing, most of whom have gone on to lead healthy successful lives.
As a wife, mother and grandmother Tracey embraces the daily challenges and rewards of family life and can say with all honesty that she knows that life is no bed of roses. She's an amazing teacher and encourager to younger people and seeks their company to "keep her young".
Many of Tracey's siblings and friends will agree that Tracey has always had a very active imagination and from this stemmed the desire to write fiction novels. Encouraged by husband Allan she began to write her first novel in 2006 and by 2010 it was obvious that Tracey had an amazing writing talent so she was convinced to commit to full time writing.
In 2012 Tracey released her first two novels, Anchored and Valley of Chaya.
In 2014 she added to these with the novel Eli, the second book in the Valley of Chaya series.
In 2014 Tracey also released Grave of Cravings, the first book in another series.
In reading Tracey's novels you will be taken places you've never been and live the lives of characters you'll grow to love. These books will allow you to get to know the Tracey that her family and friends know - the mother's heart - the sister's hand - a lover of life with a quest that everyone have a happy ending.
A Great author with a very big future - enjoy her journey.

Tracey takes you through a very touching story with plenty of lies & deceit. However, she portrays spiritual hope through scriptures & life changing events. Very powerful book! Love reading good Christian fiction with actual life applications.

If it were possible to give no stars to a book, I would. I do not do this often though. I can generally find some good in a book, and yes, I can in this book as well.
However, the whole premise of the story was so bad, that morally, I cannot recommend it at all.
Sex offenders do not stop offending against others, and while repentance might be possible, if the offender in the story was repentant, we would have seen a different outcome.
Instead, not only was it pushed throughout the book, that if the victim was going to forgive, the other relatives, that they needed to restore relationships with the offender.
It was horrible. While this might be the belief of some people, I felt this was totally inappropriately written and damaging to those that may read it.

Tough topics handled well!
This is my third book by this author and once again she has impressed me. Her ability to tackle tough life situations and do so in a way that shines a light to the saving grace of Jesus. Loved it!

Wonderful. Not your typical 🙄 romance novel
Not too bad read and I even received a powerful message from God. I will definitely get more of her books...

Great book

This book was just ok. I really like Tracey Hoffman, but this book just wasn’t as good as her book Valley of Chaya, which I thought was outstanding ... a 5-star book. Tracey Hoffman has a unique way of dealing with sensitive subjects such as sexual and abuse and for this I applaud her. But overall, I thought the book was an ok read.

We all know lies and deceit are big no no’s… yet how many of us still walk through life and struggle to stay honest?
Anchored takes a look at the working of deceit and lies and the trauma it causes in relationships.

This book probably came into my life at the exact moment I needed its message. This book is truly about forgiving the unforgivable. Revenge truly belongs to God and I see that more clearly than I did before the book.

It was difficult to see the intense pain these people had to go through, but the scattering of appropriate Scriptures throughout really made this book well done.
