Dark Road Home

Ana, an Irish woman, came to America as a very young girl at the persuasion of a priest. He had her change her name and had another priest to pick her up once she got here. He was afraid for her life. She has overcome this harsh start in New York, working for a candle maker shop where she is very gifted. She even starts volunteering at a local mission run by the Catholic church. Although she gave up on God when she lost her entire family, she starts seeing His work around her. Eaghon is also from Ireland. He has run for his life as well, and when he meet Ana he struggles with his heart to not fall for her. He becomes entangled with the political group that he was so strongly involved with in Ireland and does a lot of soul searching while carrying out their work. As well as finding his sister and deciding if he can trust her and her husband, as her husband's family is Eaghon's enemy. This book is a fast paced novel full of suspense as danger keeps cropping up threatening their lives. Love denied is a theme throughout the book. Forgiveness and acceptance is also something a few of the characters struggle with. And finally, understanding a little bit more about God's love, and His presence in times of tragedy. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I loved the romance, and the mystery was very intriguing. I have to admit, I also love reading about this time period. I believe Elizabeth captured the heart of these characters exquisitely and look forward to reading more of her books. Note: I received a complimentary copy for an honest review of this book.
