Lilly Johnson believes that her life has finally taken a
turn for the good. She is taking music classes at a local
college, and is helping to lead worship at her church. She
is in a great relationship with the youth minister, and
hopefully they will soon be engaged. Everything seems to be
perfect, but then she receives an email, an email that she
should not have opened. Inside is a picture, a picture of
the woman she used to be - a person that she is not proud
to remember. She tried to bury her past when she became a
Christian, but the past is refusing to stay buried. How
can she keep this from ruining her present life? What can
she do stop everyone from finding out the horrible truth
about her past?
All too quickly, Lilly is in over her head and running
scared. She has received countless emails with photographs
depicting her past as a singer in a band. She did numerous
things with that band that she has not even shared with her
boyfriend. He knows some details, but not everything. She
left that life behind a long time ago, but she soon
realizes that she has to face her past if she wants to have
any chance of a future. Who is doing this to her? What do
they want? Does she have the faith and the strength to
make it through this conflict?
Linda Hall has written an excellent inspirational suspense
speckled with a bit of romance. This story is told from
Lilly's point of view which makes the tale more powerful as
we are able to experience her emotions -- her fears, her
doubts, and to share first hand in her dilemma. I believe
this style of writing works well for this tale, as it
endears us to Lilly. We need to understand her motivation,
why she made the choices she did, and how she can reconcile
her past with her present. SHADOWS AT THE WINDOW is a
wonderful, thought provoking read. I look forward to other
intriguing tales by Ms. Hall as this one drew me in quickly
and kept me riveted. Overall this story was a fantastic,
fast paced mystery.
I wasn't always the
law-abiding, churchgoing young woman I am today. Not too
long ago I did
shameful things and then ran far away. Not even my beloved
fiance,
youth minister Greg Whitten, knows the truth about my past.
But now my
worst nightmare has come true. Someone has pictures of the
old me and
is sending them to me, to Greg, to the church. And if I want
to live
happily ever after--if I want to live at all--I'll need my
newfound faith
and Greg's love more than ever.
