Finding Stefanie

Finding Stefanie
By Susan May Warren

Finding Stefanie, the newest book in the Noble Legacy trilogy is wonderful (as Susan May Warren books usually are). Lincoln Cash is a famous Hollywood actor, Stefanie Noble is a ranch hand on the family ranch whose dreams seem to have been left in the dust. What could possibly bring these two people, people from entirely different worlds, together? Is it Fate? Or Providence? As in all Susan May Warren books faith is an active part of the story. The characters faith works out itself through the entirety of the book. So is it Fate? No. It is the Providence of God. A house fire, poisoing, mugging and kidnapping are only a few of the things that add to the over all swashbuckling Romance and heart-stopping adrenaline. Stefanie will rediscover her dreams, and Lincoln Cash will finally escape from the terrors that haunt his past...and his present. With a colorful array of cast this book is not something any Christian Fiction reader will want to miss out on.
