Novel Ideas will be taking the summer off. We hope everyone has a great time whether you’re attending conventions, taking a vacation, or just enjoying a staycation at home.
When we meet in September, we will be discussing the book Haven by Sherry Gomes. DBC 00693. This book is currently not available on Bookshare but is available on Audible with a different narrator for those with Audible accounts. The synopsis from BARD is below.
She would not give up not ever. Holding her head high, she vowed that somehow someday Rosie would be with her again.
Elizabeth Bennet arrives in Haven Valley seeking healing after her emotionally abusive unscrupulous ex-husband uses his family’s political influence to gain sole custody of their daughter solely on the basis that Elizabeth is blind.
At Haven Valley church, Michael Kelly’s grief for his wife is fresh as when he lost her three years ago, but he focuses on his love for the son he is now raising alone. A good man, a good father, and a good Pastor to the community, he deeply longs for companionship and love.
These two people nearly broken by disaster meet on a snowy night that will change their lives. Through this town its people and two very special children, Michael and Elizabeth begin to create their safe haven though the past relentlessly places stumbling blocks in their path. Can they keep the love and healing they’ve found?
September’s discussion will have a different format than usual. We will be joined by the author who will start us off with a brief presentation followed by questions and conversation with the audience. We hope to see you there.
