These Sheltering Walls
(2015)(The second book in the Cane River Romance series)
A novel by Mary Jane Hathaway
An ex con who wears his crime on his sleeve.
A woman drowning in an ocean of secrets.
Can they find love and hope in each other?
Lorelei "Henry" Byrne was born cursed. Being able to spot a lie with perfect accuracy sounds like fun, until you have to live with it. Her whole existence has been hobbled by her hidden talent. She's estranged from her family, has only one friend, and couldn't get through a first date if her life depended on it. She throws herself into her work as the new head of the Cane River Creole National Heritage Park, resolving to be content in her solitude... until she meets Gideon, a man with nothing to lose and no reason to lie.
After spending most of his adult life in prison, Gideon Becket has built a quiet life around the Cane River archives. He doesn't believe he deserves happiness after the crimes he's committed. When Henry arrives in town, everything starts to change, and Gideon wonders if there's hope for him after all. But just as he takes the first steps toward forgiving himself, his past comes back to haunt him. Does he hold on to his guilt, or does he take a chance on a new life? Letting Henry into his heart will mean confronting his own tragic past, and take a courage he isn't sure he has.
Set in the beautiful Cane River region around the city of Natchitoches, Louisiana, this is the second book in the Cane River Romance series.
This is an inspirational, Christian romance. There is no sex or swearing, but the book does address issues such as PTSD, family secrets, murder, life in prison, drug use, gangs, and there is a flashback to a child's death. The characters experience dark, real-life struggles, and ultimately must decide whether to live a life of grace and forgiveness.
