And I will send you another Comforter...
John 14:16
Kept in seclusion by her father until all memory of her was forgotten, Linet has become a fearful woman of introspection and independence. When she is suddenly whisked away to claim a future she had once dreamed of but now doesn’t want, she must quickly become someone she doesn’t recognize in an effort to endure what she now is.
Hidden as a babe to escape his father’s wrath, Muireach has emerged from his humbled
beginnings to claim his birthright of Igden. His past has been forgotten and his future more than secured. Yet, with the fulfillment of the king’s edict, circumstances which he has ignored for the whole of his life have emerged to threaten everything he holds dear.
A father’s betrayal, a mother’s death, a brother’s scheme…
She was the daughter secretly shunned, and he the son who had never been wanted. Now, as
their paths merge and they begin to travel the road upon which they have both been cruelly thrust, can they together learn to entrust their uncertain future to the God of Igden’s wayward priest? Or will the waves of sorrow which have so long threatened to overpower them both, finally prevail?
Julie lives in Idaho with her husband and three children. An avid reader from age eleven, by age twenty-two, reading had become such a severe addiction that she stopped reading completely after the birth of her first child, an effort to remain focused on her family. Two years later, the stories began to develop within her, but five passed before she put pen to paper, and Waves of Sorrow was birthed.
Creating Waves of Sorrow
In 2012, Julie worked full time as she wrote Waves of Sorrow, in the evenings after her children and husband had gone to bed. She completed her manuscript in early 2013 but in 2015 stopped working full time so she could home school her children. Thus, her writing career was placed on hold until 2017 when God made it clear that it was time to find a publisher.
On the Horizon...
In an effort to escape his past, Dubh has driven himself away from the only home he has ever known. Scarred by what he has done, he flees into the wilderness of the North, seeking comfort and forgetful solace in the land of his heritage.
But as the blunders of his past are exposed, Dubh is forced to confront the decisions of his youth. Will he and Moyra have the strength to seek reconciliation for problems once thought forgotten? Or has so much bitterness grown that forgiveness has been made impossible?
He gives strength to the weary,
and to him who lacks might,
He increases power.
Isaiah 43:29
