Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Date of publication: February 2018
Broken-down walls and crumbled stones seemed to
possess a secret language all their own. What stories would they tell, if she
finally listened?
Ellie Carver arrives at her grandmother’s bedside expecting
to find her silently slipping away. Instead, the beloved old woman begins
speaking. Of a secret past and castle ruins forgotten by time. Of a hidden
chapel that served as a rendezvous for the French resistance in World War II.
Of lost love and deep regret . . .
Each piece that unlocks the story seems to unlock part of
Ellie too—where she came from and who she is becoming. But her grandmother is
quickly disappearing into the shadows of Alzheimer’s and Ellie must act fast if
she wants to uncover the truth of her family’s history. Drawn by the mystery
surrounding The Sleeping Beauty—a forgotten castle so named for
Charles Perrault’s beloved fairy tale—Ellie embarks on a journey to France’s Loire
Valley in hopes that she can unearth its secrets before time silences them
forever.
Bridging the past to present in three time-periods—the
French Revolution, World War II, and present day—The Lost Castle is
a story of loves won and lost, of battles waged in the hearts of men, and an
enchanted castle that stood witness to it all, inspiring a legacy of faith
through the generations.
