Secret Vow — Kathy Cecala

Secret Vow is the moving, searingly honest story of the bittersweet love affair between a beautiful young widow and an extraordinary yet troubled priest. When Rose meets Ellis, she believes she has found the answer to all her dreams and yearnings. They share a love that is the perfect blend of body, mind, and spirit...a nurturing haven from the world. But their moment of happiness is all too brief: A shattering act of violence drives them tragically apart.

Years later, cast adrift once more, Rose vows to find Ellis again. Her search becomes a journey of discovery and, ultimately, forgiveness. Lyrical, passionate, and richly romantic, Secret Vow explores the most secret places of the heart in a transforming novel of hope, rebirth, redemption -- and the enduring power of love.
