Key Features:
- A powerful story in which Gloria Stanton gives up her former life to protect her children from an unthinkable enemy.
- This LDS thriller will draw readers in with its emotional and touching storyline.
Gloria Stanton and her children have disappeared! To protect her children, Gloria left everything behind-her home, her family and her friends. She started a whole new life with a new name, a new background-and a new understanding of the importance of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through it all she had absolute faith that her greatest responsibility was her children.
Now Gloria keeps a low profile by working as a night waitress. Among all the realities of her new life are two rules she must not break-she can't afford to contact anyone from her former life, and she can't involve herself in anything that will reveal her true identity. But time is running out. Can she keep her children safe and keep her faith alive? Can she resist falling in love with a man who has risked so much to help her? Or will she fail, despite sacrificing nearly everything?
Reviews~
"This story is a terrific portrayal of how a single mom struggles to keep the faith and her courageous effort to ensure that her children are cared for as they begin a new life away from an abusive father. At first the book seemed to move slowly, but once I got through the first chapter it really took off. I enjoyed reading this book."
"I love how the main character, Gloria, has the courage to fight to save her kids from an abusive father. I liked her courage and faith in God that help her make it through her difficulties. I wanted to be right there helping her and the kids. . ."
"Who would guess that little Willard, Utah, would be home to such a talented writer as Josi Kilpack . .I am impressed with her ability to tell a spellbinding story, to create characters that evoke deep caring on the part of the reader, and her social consciousness in following up her story with author's notes that explain the real world circumstances surrounding her novel."
"Surrounded by Strangers may not be for every reader, but those who read it won’t forget it easily. It’s a powerful book and I loved it."
"I've always been a sucker for a good love story, and this book has a great one. It took me about three chapters before I was hooked, but after that I couldn't put it down."
"This is an intense story of love, crime, courage, and spirituality all woven together. Josi Kilpack pulls you in from the very first page and makes you feel like you are a part of the story. It was so real that I nearly included the characters in my prayers at night."
-Kristi Green of Willard, Utah
"Here is a story of fierce love, relentless focus and indomitable courage-all to gain peace, but at the highest price. The story is so captivating and the characters so incredibly real that I couldn't put it down."
-Anne Hill of Pleasant Grove, Utah
