Benjamins Bride
By Nancy Marie
Patricia
Collingsworth, nicknamed Mouse, because of her mousy
appearance, drives through Colorado on her way home from college.
However, her trek will take her somewhere she never expected to
go somewhere dark and frightening. Father Jacob Israel has
created a dangerous cult out of his own family members. Hidden from
prying eyes in the wilderness, Jacob oversees his tribe with cruelty
and violence. Women are taken by force and married to his sons
at Jacobs command. Mouse is waylaid on the road and kidnapped
for Jacobs son, Benjamin. She awakes to find herself a victim
of evil personified and no way to escape the merciless life
she has become a part of. But unlike the rest of his family, his
fathers beliefs sicken Benjamin. He decides to rescue Mouse
and himself from Jacobs tyrannical clutches. In the meantime,
Father Casey OFlagherty and Bob Bird Barnes, an
agent with the Colorado Bureau of Investigations, try to reach Mouse
before something happens that will bring her long journey to a horrific
end.
Benjamins
Bride is a frightening story, full of fear, fanaticism, and
faith. Nancy Marie weaves a beautifully written tale about a young
Christian girl who will have to draw on a strength she never knew
she had, in an effort to combat an evil she never knew existed.
Through a deadly struggle that threatens her very existence, Mouse
will find her God, herself, and the man she is destined to love.
Benjamins Bride is a novel that will stay tucked
inside a readers heart for a long, long time. As with her
previous novel, When You Wish Upon a Star, Nancy Marie has shown
herself to be a superb storyteller who can wrap suspense up with
heart and allow faith to flow through conflict.
