Like her living, breathing characters, Christy nominee Doris Elaine Fell comes full circle as she presents the final episode in the Sagas of the Kindred Heart series. This intriguing yarn begins in a garden in the Cotswolds and unfurls to Wordsworth country: England¹s fabled Lake District, where a much-loved English professor faces a grim diagnosis. As Esther McCully ponders the meaning of her work and life, she thinks about students over the years who touched her life in some way, and she wonders if her influence has been a lasting one. Her deepest regret is choosing her career over the man she now knows was the love of her life. A plan emerges in Esther¹s mind: She invites some of her old students to a grand reunion at a castle in the Lake District. Renewed relationships deepen, and Esther¹s students find the ultimate way to repay their teacher for her wisdom and influence. But the gathering of old friends and protegees is soon marred by suspicion when one of the guests is accused of being an IRA fugitive. When the truth is revealed, hearts are broken‹and mended‹as this remarkable cast of characters find romance, healing, grace, and redemption. Doris Elaine Fell has been a teacher, missionary, and nurse and has traveled and lived all over the globe in these various careers. Today she is a full-time author and has written seventeen books, including Willows on the Windrush and Blue Mist on the Danube, a finalist for a Christy in 2000. Fell lives in Southern California.
