They were refugees. Robbed of their property and banished from their community, they had no homes&#8230;and very few friends.<\/p>\n<p>Among the weary group was sixteen-year-old Anna Proust and her family. Since her mother&#8217;s death, her father had become a Christian. He was the reason their family was whispered to be heretic and forced out of town. Anna&#8217;s brother and grandmother trudged along, upset at Papa&#8217;s decision and the ruin it brought upon them. Anna didn&#8217;t know what to think. Sometimes she admired Papa and longed for the peace he had. Other times she was confused by swirling questions and frightened at their family&#8217;s uncertain future.<\/p>\n<p>The group climbed on. Eventually there loomed before them the towering walls of a castle. Would they find sanctuary there?<\/p>\n<p>For Anna, this trek was not only a search for refuge, but a search for truth, peace, and a strong tower for her soul.<\/p>\n<p>Set in the 1100s, this historical fiction describes the spiritual struggles and persecution of the Waldensians. <\/p>\n<p>193 pages.
