My Thoughts:
She Who Knows No Fear is the continuing story of Cassie and her family. Cassie is now an adult and a newlywed and she and her husband, Zack, are learning to make their lives together. Set in the beautiful Hawaii and taking place in the 1960’s, the author shows how Cassie is still grappling with fears of her future along with the secrets of the past she is unlocking. Cassie is a worrier, and her fears sometimes show up in her dreams and what she would call visions. There are incidents that happen that seem to almost push her worrying overboard, but I am glad that this grown-up Cassie is beginning to let go and trust.

I enjoyed seeing Cassie and Zack in their married life. I don’t believe Cassie’s fears were all that unusual, as I was reading I thought back to the time when I was a newlywed and had similar fears. I did feel for her as I thought others were being too overprotective of her, and if not careful could smother her dreams and do more harm. This is an overall interesting series.
I received a complimentary copy of this novel. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

About the Author

In 2015, Barbara Bras left her career to pursue her dream of serving God. She believed that her first step was to share the amazing story of God’s blessings in her life. Wrapped in God’s Grace, A Life Rediscovered does so through a trio of narratives. It begins with the story of her son’s miraculous adoption and the challenging years that followed, her grandparents’ remarkable survival in Armenia, and her own quest for purpose and love. Once written, Barbara realized her life’s new purpose. Captured by St. Paul in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, she views her writing as a tribute to the God who comforts and strengthens us in hardships and trials, and as her mission to encourage others. Her first novel, She Who Knows, A Tale of the Heart, seeks to inspire and encourage. The sequel, She Who Knows No Fear: Another Tale of the Heart, released in December 2017.
