Anna Clarke has faced loneliness for years, caring for a sick and distant husband. Recently widowed, with all that brought meaning to her life gone, the consummate good girl falls from grace in a moment of weakness and passion.
Horrified to find she is pregnant, she is surprised when those closest to her assume the baby is her late husband’s. Guilt and pride allow the lie to live until her deceit hits a wall when the biological father Dr. Matthew Carmichael comes calling.
Shocked at how one lie bled so easily into another, Anna realizes her reputation of devout Christian living is about to disappear like a leaf caught in a windstorm. She hears the whisper of her loving Heavenly Father, who longs to restore her soul, but does she have the courage to face the scandal and the truth of her feelings toward the handsome Dr. Carmichael?

I really enjoy a book that takes "real life" situations and brings them to a wonderful story. Anna's Secret is a fiction book that covers some things that normal everyday people go through in life.
Anna is a recent widow, after having been full time caregiver to her husband for several years. Anna's husband was under the great care of Dr. Matthew Carmichael during his illness. Dr. Matthew Carmichael had taken a liking to Anna over the years. He is falling even deeper for her now that her husband has passed away. Anna finds out she is pregnant not too long after a date night with the Dr. She allows her friends to believe that the baby is that of her late husband. Her secret is revealed when the Dr. comes forth as the Biological Dad.
I was hooked by the storyline with the first few pages of the book. The author, Blossom Turner, really brings the story to life, even through a fiction book. The book is one that focuses on Forgiveness, Death, Moving forward in life and God's Grace. I truly enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading future books by new Author Blossom Turner. FANTASTIC BOOK!

MORE ABOUT WHY I WROTE ANNA’S SECRETI am a hopeless romantic, it has been at the core of my being from a child up. I dreamed of a love that would whisk me far from the pain of my childhood upbringing.
When I first started to write Anna’s Secret, I had not yet learned all I needed to know about forgiveness. I was half-way through the book when sorrow and betrayal hit my marriage. (See “About Me” at https://blossomturner.com) I stopped writing for years.
However, as God healed the broken and restored my soul, words of love once again danced within my being. God directed that I finish this book weaving in all I learned from the crucible of suffering in her own life. Through understanding the restorative power of God’s forgiveness when humanity fails, I wrote Anna’s Secret with a strong thread of hope woven into its fabric.
Readers have expressed the authenticity has brought them to tears, given them a love story that entertained, but the part I love the most … Anna’s Secret has inspired some readers to ask God for the help to forgive themselves, or ask Him for power to offer the gift of forgiveness to another.
My prayer is that you will find Anna’s Secret an entertaining romance, inspiration to your soul, and that you will enjoy the happy ending … always a happy ending. After all, God is the God of happily ever after, and heaven is the home in which all His children will find the greatest love of all.
