Promise of Deer Run

Description

(Deer Run Series, Book 2)

The year is 1790 and the American Revolution is long since over, but a battle still rages in the hearts of survivors. Painful memories of war haunt one young veteran. He still waits for a father who never returned from battle and feels the sting of betrayal from a former love. Withdrawing into his own world, he clings to one hope — perhaps his father still lives.

Only one person in Deer Run seems to understand him — nineteen-year-old Sarah Thomsen, who struggles to bury her own war memories. The veteran’s search for his father touches a chord in her, as she feels the loss of a father she never knew. While the couple begins to find hope in mutual affection, others are determined to destroy it. Slander and misunderstandings ignite a fire of doubt and mistrust, destroying any faith they had in each other.

Can two souls longing for healing and trust, love again? Can faith — and family — be restored?

REVIEWS

“‘Promise of Deer Run’ is an incredibly beautiful, enchanting, and charming tale of love, family, and survival in colonial times—easily holding the reader captive until the last page.” – Amazon review

“The story is wonderfully woven with truths about forgiveness, even when unjustly accused, and the harder battle of forgiving one’s own self.” – Amazon review

“You’ll laugh and cry alongside this family, celebrate their small victories, watch the children grow, and come away from this saga feeling a kinship toward the Thomsen clan.” – Amazon review

“I had a hard time putting down this novel, so quickly did I become caught up in the lives of the characters! We tend to think of things like PTSD in relation to today’s veterans, but this story does an excellent job of pointing out that as needed as it can be, war leaves it mark on all its participants – including battles fought long ago. But there is healing that can come through love and best of all, through God’s grace as He binds up all the different kinds of wounds people may carry.” – Amazon review
