What a book!! This book was all about Forgiveness, Faith, Family and real life. When I started to read this book, I thought another book that you know where this is going. Boy was I wrong, many twist turns and keeps changing from the beginning to the end. The story begins with Anna being the caregiver for her husband. Soon she has her life turned upside down and has to rely on her faith and forgiveness to GOD. When she has one night when she give into the cute Dr. Matthew Carmichael that was her husbands doctor, the story begins to whirlwind.... She finds herself pregnant, middle aged and on her own to determine what to do. She has grown children that are telling her what to do, a church family believing one thing and then Matt who is younger than her and is determined to be a father to his child. What decision does Anna do, what secrets will she have??
I would recommend this to anyone that wants a great read. This story is so up to date with today's world. Blossom does a wonderful job at keeping the reader interested and wondering what is going to happen. I couldn't put this down, even when I finished, I kept thinking of this story. The book deals with many issues that are in the media of today's society. This is a must read, guaranteed to keep you guessing and not wanting this story to end.... so many side stories that tie all into the same message, Forgiveness and God's word. Love this book can't wait for Blossom to do another 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.
