When Kai Alexander and her adopted teen son Dom arrive at St. Ninian’s Sanctuary, they both know this is their last stop. Dom’s rebellion in the States means they can’t go back, and yet Kai fears that her troubled son won’t do much better here at a spiritual retreat center, where she is taking a job as a potter.Meanwhile, Mac Galloway, a man of great standing on the island, finds himself haunted by his past. He can’t sleep, falling prey to nightmares of a life he thought he’d left behind. Although he trusts that the island is a place of healing for everyone who sets foot on her shores, he has never accepted that help for himself, hiding huge events that might change everything about the island and how it works.Kai finds herself drawn to Mac, an older man who seems to care about her and her difficult son. But Dom knows some of Mac’s secrets, and he’s wary and fearful, because if Mac goes down, so does the sanctuary, and Dom knows this place is his new mom’s only hope for happiness, maybe the only place in the world she and Dom can stay together and thrive.Danger, heartache, and secrets finally force Mac to face his past, his fears, and his brokenness. With the help of children, whales, and a woman who trusts Mac when she should run from him, Mac must make some decisions concerning his life and the future of the island he loves. Eventide is book four in the St. Ninian’s Sanctuary series, small-town contemporary Christian romance with a mysterious island twist.

Age no hindrance to use by God

Mac's story. Wow. What an intense journey this was. Amazing how often people allow their own issues to colour their perceptions. The story showcases the value of prayer; how following God can be risky; how His timing always perfect; how everyone has value in themselves. Loved the kids wisdom, love, insight and determination. A great read, again. A really good series.
