What do you like about this book:
"If we let worry control us, we shall never accomplish anything."
Maribel and her escort have plenty of reason to worry; their lives are in danger, their futures are in jeopardy, and they have embarked upon a journey that many would never attempt. . . . . but Edmund Chambers would risk anything, including his own life, to ensure Maribel's safety. After all, she is one of the lost princesses of Mercia, and he has secretly loved her since childhood. Maribel, on the other hand cherishes Edmund's friendship, but is determined to take her holy vows in order to become a nun. She's convinced that her abilities as a physician would never be socially acceptable any other way; but as their journey continues Maribel begins to wonder if her aspirations are worth losing her relationship with Edmund.
Facing death has a way of narrowing down one's choices, and in this lovely continuation of "The Lost Princesses" series, Maribel and Edmund both discover what true love really means; sacrificing the best of one's self, only to discover that it can reappear stronger than ever before, wrapped securely beside the heart of another and tightly fastened together within God's will.
"You are the only woman I need to know."
