Escaping Tranquil

Hackberry, Tennessee, is a little slice of heaven for Tranquil "Quil" Tandy. Her 150-year-old family home provides a respite from a horrifying college experience she's desperate to forget. After losing both parents, Quil just wants to put the past behind her and concentrate on running Tandy's Fishing and Hunting Camp and raising her young brother, Paddy, who has Down's syndrome.

There is no room in her life for God. Quil blames him for what happened to her in college and refuses to let go of the bitterness and anger she holds in her heart.

Fletcher Pickford never followed God in the first place. His privileged yet abusive childhood caused him to turn his back on virtue and grow into a spiteful and guiling young man.

The destinies of these two collide when Fletcher learns of a secret birth in his family. There's another heir to his family fortune, and she lives in Hackberry, Tennessee...

Deanna Hansen-Doying's new thriller will enthrall fans of Christian fiction. Escaping Tranquil combines the taut plotting of a sterling suspense novel with a message of forgiveness and redemption to remind us that God's arm is not too short, and grace is always within reach.
