Family Secrets
I am so pleased to
welcome back to my blog, Gay N. Lewis. I was introduced to her work a number of
years ago when I began reading her heart-warming Sarah Series, more about this
below. If you enjoy Christian Romance and haven’t checked out her Sarah Series,
please do. In the meantime, Gay has recently released a new novel, Family Secrets, a historical Christian romance. Here’s more about Gay and her latest
novel.
Dallas, Texas, 1975. A dark time in history but also a
time of change. President Kennedy had been assassinated twelve years earlier.
Although civil rights were revolutionizing, Dallas schools weren’t integrated
until 1971.
Rebecca Davis, a nurse, has suffered
racial bigotry, and due to it, she hasn’t seen family in fifteen years. They
hid secrets from her, and she won’t forgive them. Ever.
A drunk man killed Marshall Donavan’s
wife and baby. Marshall, a minister, can’t forgive the drunk and feels like a
hypocrite to his church for preaching forgiveness.
Sam Bradford, former druggie, has
forgiven himself for his foolish Woodstock behavior. He and his five-year-old
daughter, KC, love Rebecca, and Rebecca loves KC—the daughter she can’t
have. Due to her secrets, Rebecca vowed
to never marry.
Marshall develops a friendship with the
reluctant Rebecca. Rebecca tells both Marshall and Sam that friendship is all
she can offer.
Sam, unaware of Rebecca’s friendship with
Marshall, is shocked to find him and Rebecca in the hospital cafeteria. The
chemistry is obvious. Conflict arises and Rebecca finds herself caught in an
emotional tug-o-war between the two men.
Is it possible to love two men at once? Rebecca
is distraught, but regardless, she can’t marry. The only solution? Move away.
Desperate not to lose her, Marshall convinces
her to reveal to Sam and him the skeletons in her past.
Rebecca was engaged fifteen years
earlier. When her fiancé’s father discovered Rebecca’s Cherokee, Indian blood,
he grew angry. The aristocratic, narrow-minded, father determined Rebecca not
good enough for his son. To prove her unworthy, he hired detectives to unravel
family history and revealed the detective’s report hours before the wedding
ceremony. Her parents were not who she thought they were. Her fiancé abandoned
her.
After her disclosure, Marshall and Sam assure Rebecca they
don’t care about her DNA, but she believes marriage legally impossible due to
laws preventing marriage between cultures. Marshall informs her the Supreme Court
had overturned such laws in June, 1967. Even though pockets of racial hatred
existed in Dallas and other places, the views of inter-racial marriage were
changing. Legally, she was free to choose one of them to marry—but her heart is
bound to both. She loves them both but in different ways, and what happens to
KC if she chooses Marshall?
Which man should she choose? Only God
can bring about a solution to her dilemma.

A native Texan, Gay
lives in Fulshear, a small-town west of Houston. She loves to travel and engage
in artistic ventures. Two videos she produced —The Canadian Rockies, English and Japanese translations, and Psalms from the Mountains, sold well in
international markets. Graphic skills kept her busy as a portrait photographer,
and for over ten years, she used her imaginative insight in the interior design
field. Her husband, Paul H. Lewis is a retired KISD teacher, but he continues
to sub with Katy Independent School District. He also pastors a small church in
Rosenberg, TX.
As a pastor’s wife, Gay writes Faith Features
for various church periodicals. She also writes articles for Texas Hill
Country. As a published author for Pelican Book Group, she writes in romance
and fantasy fiction. Her current series is about a dyslexic angel who comes to
earth to help humans, but Sarah, the angel, is more like Lucy Ricardo with
humorous antics and bumbles.
All of the Sarah
books have appeared on Amazon’s Best Seller’s List. The Sarah series is available in eBook format as well as print at Amazon, Barnes
and Noble, Pelican Book Group, and other book sellers. Some additions are
