Hugo - Poole, Pamela

Résumé :
September 21, 1989: Some monsters in the dark are real. Can Painter Place survive? On September 21, 1989, historic Hurricane Hugo came in the dead of night, slamming Category 4 power into Charleston, South Carolina at the worst possible time - high tide - creating a storm surge of 20 feet. Those who are stranded in the Big House at Painter Place are mauled by the elements and the barrier island is scoured by the writhing Atlantic Ocean storm surge, forcing Caroline Painter Gregory to say goodbye to a life she loves and face a future that may hold the worst that can possibly happen. Survivors of the monster storm must cope with unimaginable losses, challenging their relationships, endurance and faith. While Painter Place is being made habitable again, broken-hearted Caroline and her newborn twins travel to France, where she finds healing in art and unexpectedly becomes entangled in danger greater than her new bodyguard can stop. On the devastated South Carolina coastline of 1989 and then in Arles, France during the centennial of Van Gogh's life there, Hugo continues the saga of Painter Place. Reader note: This is a story written from a Biblical worldview with faith elements and will appeal most to Christian readers. If you are looking for a CLEAN, conservative romance and adventure rolled into one this is the series for you. Featuring the Painter and Gregory families we see the love and interaction between couples of all ages. - Liz, Top 100 Reviewer...

Sommaire:
Pamela Poole's love for the LowCountry of South Carolina inspires all her books and paintings, so she describes her work as Southern Ambiance. She and her husband live in the Hilton Head, SC area, where they enjoy walks on the beach, palm trees, magnolias, and wildlife around the lagoon in their back yard.

Her perspective on writing books and painting pictures is like that of the iconic artist Norman Rockwell, who once said he knew life was not ideal, but it should be, so he chose to paint that way. Pamela pursues the warm, whimsical, loveable, and ideal in her creativity. She hopes readers will laugh out loud, sigh, be inspired to reach higher, and feel refreshed, as if they strolled in warm Southern sunshine! ...
