It's not love that hurts, but the loss of love. Chelsea Carpenter learns of her fianc 's death in Iraq while choosing her wedding dress, just weeks before Clark was due home. Her 'happily-ever-after' was not to be. She could never love again. Devastated and broken-hearted, Chelsea tries to escape by throwing herself into her work at the Carpenter family's publishing business, the only other love of her life aside from her family. Before and after work she hides herself away in a condo in the mountains above Sundance where no one stops by to interrupt her self-imposed exile from the world. She only ventures out to attend church, pick up groceries, and see her family. They worry that after two years she still cannot move on, but are helpless to find a way to bring her out of her shell. If anyone can do it, Carter, her twin brother can. Just imagine that you are a 26-year-old, beautiful publishing executive who has absolutely no interest in any man because you firmly believe your fianc was your one and only true love in this life. What would you do when situations continue to arise that throw you directly into the path of a new gorgeously handsome employee, one that makes your heart flutter and your palms sweat each time you see him? To acknowledge an interest in another man would be to betray your fianc , right? What Readers are Saying About The Carpenter Chronicles: This was a delightful story. I really had no idea how it would develop but I dove right in. It was hard to put down I appreciated reading about a successful young woman who held true to her values and standards. It is not often enough in a contemporary setting that you read about that. It is very easy to write a period piece from some time in the past where the young woman doesn't have any problem maintaining her standards. However, it is much more difficult to make a believable, interesting story that is contemporary where a woman maintains high standards.--L.H. Hatton When I first opened the book, I assumed it would be like any other romance. Thankfully, I was wrong The characters in Sacrifice are compelling, real, and relatable, and the story takes unexpected turns that will keep any reader turning pages. What results is a fascinating story that actually drove me to care about the characters and invest myself in the outcomes of their lives.-Carrie Ott I am a sucker for Christian romance books. I thought this book would be like every other book I have read. But after reading, I got so into the story and was so delighted to read about a character that shares my faith I loved how Janice Myers wrote this story. It kept you wanting to finish the whole book in one day and I am glad to say that the ending was just perfect. The characters and the storyline were well written and I really liked how she described a lot of things, making you feel like you are there. I cannot wait for the next book and see what happen to the family -Karen H. Be the first of your friends to buy SANCTUARY, CHELSEA'S STORY. Do it today
