Abbey’s Search for Sanctuary, Stand-alone Book One of Destiny: Choice or Chance Trilogy: A riveting story of violence against women, including baby girls, and those who fight to protect them.

A Turkish-American nurse, Abbey shelters her younger sister after she divorces her Muslim husband when she learns his mother is going to perform a circumcision on their baby girl, Jenny. When her sister is murdered by her ex-husband, Abbey knows she must find a way to keep Jenny safe.

Once a Peshmerga fighter and medic with the Kurdish forces in Iraq, Rami now works with refugees in Buffalo. Shunned by his grandfather and family for failing to demand retribution when his arranged marriage failed, Rami avoids emotional attachments. That is, until he meets Abbey.

Warning Abbey that honor killings are often family affairs and that she and Jenny are in danger, Rami offers her a way out: a marriage of convenience and refuge in his homeland of Kurdistan.

Abbey is committed to doing anything to protect Jenny but can she face going back to the world of her childhood: a world of headscarves and submission, a world that scarred her mother and killed her sister, a world she’d already escaped once?

Refugee resettlement, cross cultural love, history, mental health: a tastey treat

BySusan E. Jacobsonon March 16, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Abbey’s Search for Sanctuary is 4th novel and first in a trilogy by Eris Field, emeritus professor of psychiatric nursing. Protagonist Abbey Aksoy steps into her first employment as a recent graduate of a doctor of nursing practice program, a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Eris Field knows how to describe personalities. The tension in Abbey's new practice with the other team members is particularly fascinating. It was plausible. Abbey lived in Turkey for several years as a child. The head of the clinic where she is employed is of Kurdish background. The book takes off from there. I recommend this book for policy makers, to gain insight into the role of mental health in international health arenas. I recommend this book for those interested in the intricacies of international relations. Eris has a demonstrated knowledge of the Middle East. We get a lesson in history and culture.. 5,000 years BC the Kurds were making wine! We can anticipate Abbey developing a nurse practitioner program is a Kurdistan. I look forward to the next books. Bravo Eris you have done it again.

The story offers a good dose of Middle Eastern history

ByMandyon March 22, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

An emeritus professor of psychiatric nursing, author Eris Field weaves a fascinating romance with her fourth novel. The heroine is a Turkish-American woman just starting out in her first job as a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Buffalo, New York. The hero is the Kurdish head of the clinic where she is employed, a former Peshmerga fighter and medic who now secretly helps refugees. The story offers a good dose of Middle Eastern history, and takes in violence against women, the brutal conventions of some Middle Eastern cultures and the need for mental health services in those countries. It does, however, you will be happy to know, have a happy ending.

Really interesting read

ByRebecca Aon March 27, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

Dr.Abbey Askoy is in desperate need of employment and has applied for a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner position at a local clinic specializing in many types of psychiatry. Her sister, Jeyda and her daughter Jenny have just come to live with Abbey after escaping from her husband.

Abbey grew up in Turkey and then came back to the United States with her mother and she has views of the Muslim religion and has vowed to never get involved with a Muslim man after seeing what both her mother and her sister have gone through.

But when she finds herself attrqcted to her new boss, Dr.Rami Rashid she soon learns that she must trust that he is different than other Muslim men and will protect her when it is clear that she is no longer safe.

Will Remi treat Abbey differently or is he just like every other Muslim man that she has come in contact with before?

This was a super interesting book on so many different levels and I really enjoyed learning about the cultural differences that the book talked about.

I really liked the character of Abbey and completely understood why she was so guarded. Yet she lumped all Muslim men into one pile but I did understand the reasons behind it. I was devastated to learn what Jeyda's husband wanted to do to their daughter, Jenny, and I think I would have run as well. Abbey was well educated and really wanted to help people and understood how many people out there need assistance with their mental health.

It was very difficult to read about what many women are subjected to in other cultures. Not every woman or man should be placed under the same "umbrella" but the information we learned in this book is so devastating to know that these types of things still happen. Sadly it does still happen in cultures and I have read about it locally.

I really liked Dr.Rami Rashid and right from the beginning I crossed my fingers that he was different and would treat Abbey properly. He was a very educated man who had been "burned" in love before and it was interesting to see how much status he lost from that and how it affected his family. Rami had a different approach to things and I loved how he was able to start over and how he protected Abbey when it was needed the most.

I can see that people may not want to read the book due to the cultural differences and subject that it talks about and that the book could offend some readers but I encourage the reader to give the book an honest try as the bottom line is love and giving someone a chance in spite of how we believe they will act.

Exotic and different romance.

Byjanis laneon March 24, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

Eris Field's newest release is an exciting adventure into a cross cultural world of romance. Open the door into a fast ride through the threatening danger of ancient customs, while drolling over the tall, dark, and gorgeous hero who comes to the rescue.
There's a bonus romance when Gemma meets cousin Turan who wows her son with his soccer playing. I was also fascinated with the stories of the women refugees who came from many different parts of the world.
Want something exotic and different with a little depth? Ms. Field's latest romance lives up to the challenge.
