More from Jennifer

Have you ever wondered if your ancestors prayed for the generations who would come after them—prayed for you? During the Tudor period, life was lived much closer to death than it is today. Illness, hardship and uncertainty were constant companions. Because tomorrow could never be assumed, eternity felt very near. Faith was not merely tradition; it was something tested daily. I have often thought that whatever survives testing is usually the thing most worth keeping. I felt that sense of history in a very personal way when my daughter and I visited the small chapel just outside London where my ninth great-grandmother is buried. On her stone memorial she is carved wearing a garment with a book hanging from it—The Book of Common Prayer. Seeing that image made me pause and wonder what prayers she might have spoken for the generations that followed.

Just across from the chapel stands Thornton Hall, where she once lived. When my daughter and I were welcomed inside as ninth and tenth generation Tirrell descendants and ushered into the drawing room for tea, the weight of that history felt suddenly real. Standing in that house, I couldn’t help but imagine the lives that had unfolded there centuries before. Inside the chapel, a memorial window for Jane Ingleton shows a woman wearing a mantle bearing the arms of the Tyrell family—our name later spelled with an “i”—and holding both a red and a white rose. That image captured my imagination. Jane’s Secret is a completely fictional story inspired by those moments. The historical record left only fragments, but sometimes fragments are enough to spark a story. From them grew a fast- paced suspense novel that weaves together history, faith, and the enduring power of prayer—and the possibility that blessings offered long ago may echo farther than we realize.

MY REVIEW

This is probably one of the best dual time stories I have read. It has deep faith elements and the characters are so easy to like. I appreciate the author’s research to make this story more authentic to the time period. It was easy to keep reading until I finished the book. The author captures a young woman named Jane who endured cruel treatment from her step father. Jane knows this man is not happy with bring around. I wanted Jane to escape from him as soon as she could. Her curiously gets the best of her when she tries to undercover a mystery.

As we move forward in time we are introduced to Kaitlyn who has a necklace with a key that she wears around her neck. She decides to go overseas to see if she can uncover the mysterious necklace and key. She longs to find out information about her ancestors and I admired her strength while traveling overseas alone. After a tragic accident at a jewelry store the young man who works there decides to help Kaitlyn find out who is trying to harm her.

My heart is filled with such compassion as I finished the book. The author brings us a story that gives readers a look at the importance of handing down the family’s faith from generation to generation. I loved how the two women never wavered from their belief and also allowed God to order their steps. There is a mystery and a bit of danger in the story which adds a depth of intrigue.

“Faithful prayers bless future generations.”
