Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2004

In the beautiful North Georgia mountains, blue spruce reach up to heaven. A sense of healing and communion draws Alisha Emerson there. She hopes that, her unborn child can grow up in the promising new world she's begun for them both in the village of Dover Mountain. Then her labor begins unexpectedly, and only with the help of a stranger -- entrepreneur Jared Murdock -- is her son delivered safely.

But is Dover Mountain really the sylvan sanctuary of Alisha's daydreams? For although Alisha and Jared appreciate the love of God and neighbor that village life embodies, Dover Mountain incorporates darker elements, as well. Elements such as unwanted pregnancy, drug abuse, violence and blackmail. Together, Alisha and Jared must brave the storm and seek the rainbow that follows, in this captivating story of love, loss and faith regained.

This was a wonderful read, and my first experience with something by this author. It kept me guessing the whole way through! I knew it was a romance, but wasn't expecting the mystery elements that were thrown in. I was guessing all the way to the end about "who done it." I'm very eager to read something else by Lenora Worth since reading After the Storm.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Story That Proves You Can Hide From Everything...But Love, June 14, 2004

This review is from: After the Storm (Steeple Hill Women's Fiction #8) (Paperback)

Alisha is hiding out on Dover Mountain, deep in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia where life is simpler and the people are protective of their own. When everything in Jared?s life is turned upside down, he, too, is drawn to the mountain that is a part of his youth and all the memories he has of his grandfather. Perhaps it will be the healing balm he needs to move forward with his life.

Neither Alisha or Jared is looking for romance?they?re both still hurting too much. Yet it seems God, and perhaps the locals, see something they can?t see as circumstances put them together time and again. Still, each is hiding his or her own secrets?and those secrets threaten to destroy the thin veil of peace and tranquility that covers the mountain and offers them respite from the outside world.

When those secrets lead to mysterious gifts and letters, threats to expose the past, blackmail, and death, fear takes precedence over all else.

Lenora Worth weaves an intriguing story of suspense, mystery, and faith amid romance in After the Storm and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very last chapter. This is a thoroughly enjoyable and well-written story that will keep you guessing and reading to the end!
