The Girl From the Hidden Forest: Haunting and Riveting

About The Girl from the Hidden Forest

The nightmares may free her…but destroy the man she loves.

Enjoy another Gothic Style Regency from Hannah Linder.

Eliza Ellis has stayed hidden in Balfour Forest for as long as she can remember. Perhaps her only friends are the trees, or her little dog, or her story-telling father called Captain. But at least she is safe from the cruel world outside, a world Captain has warned her against and protected her from.

That is, until a handsome stranger named Felton Northwood invades her quiet forest and steals her away. Why does he tell such lies? Why does he insist that her name is Miss Eliza Gillingham, daughter of a viscount, who disappeared fourteen years ago after the murder of her own mother? A murder Eliza is said to have witnessed.

How I Came to Know Jesus

Every believer has a point in their life when they realize their need for Jesus. I have my own story about that–but I can’t tell it without going farther back in time.

When I was young, neither of my parents thought they needed God. They genuinely thought they were Christians, but they didn’t live like it. Neither of them could explain their beliefs. They simply thought all Americans were born Christians.

And then came the day of change.
