The island will never be the same… Felicia is on the island to watch her cousin Lynn marry one of the island pilots. Barry is on the island to give his mother-in-law a chance to refresh and recharge, knowing caring for his wheelchair-bound son is wearing her down. Or so they believe. Perhaps God wants Felicia's childhood wounds to heal. Perhaps he wants her to touch a boy trapped in a broken body and a broken mind. Perhaps Barry is here for his own heart, which shut down after the accident that killed his wife and damaged his son, the accident he believes was his fault. Perhaps both of them need love and new beginnings. Or perhaps it's even bigger. Perhaps this pair has a darker purpose, and they will face great loss and heartache to reach the soul of an island that's floundering. For months now the sanctuary has fractured and gossiped and torn people down, and this family might be the catalyst for change for an entire island's future. Even at a devastating cost. St. Ninian's Sanctuary series, small-town contemporary Christian romance with a mysterious island twist. Jill Penrod wrote her first novel in high school. It was a space opera (she watched Star Wars A LOT), and it was not great literature. But she persevered, graduating college with top honors in writing. Since then, she's published more than thirty novels. She writes in several genres including Christian teen romance, sweet romance, Christian fantasy stories, and non-fiction. None of them are space operas.
Jill lives in Kentucky with her husband and youngest son. She has three adult children out there doing adult things like work and marriage. When she isn't writing, she gardens and spoils her long-haired Chihuahua Sparrow, along with a few other cats and dogs. Recently she fulfilled her dream of moving to the country, although it has yet to be seen if this city mouse can become a country mouse or not.
