    About this ebook

    The slightest spark will ignite an explosion. The tinderbox of broken political and racial relations in France and Algeria provides plenty of kindling. And the growing friction, especially in Algeria, will soon combust. A tentative ceasefire offers little to cool the heat.  And in the midst of the turmoil, Gabriella Madison guards the orphans in her care, while battling jealousy when Anne-Marie Duchemin, David’s former flame, arrives in Castelnau, France. As they protect the little ones in their care amid rising discomfort in the community with the multi-cultural orphanage, each wonders who David will choose.  Meanwhile, David is trapped in Algeria, caught in the turmoil of a country gone mad. He seeks a way to guard his life and, at the same time, protect the refugees he came to help. And escape seems impossible. Unable to predict what lies ahead, Gabriella and David learn that in life, waiting is the hardest part.  The answers lie in two testaments.

      After reading Two Crosses by Elizabeth Musser (see my review HERE), I just had to read Two Testaments. The second book in the series, it starts where book 1 left off. Lots of unfinished business in the first book, but a very satisfying conclusion awaits in the second. Two Testaments continues the sweeping story of David Hoffman, Gabriella Madison and the other characters you will grow to love against the backdrop of the French-Algerian War. The war is about to come to an end, but the horrors of war, torture and terrorism continue after the peace declaration is signed. David and Gabriella separate so that David can continue his work rescuing orphans in Algeria. The wait to be reunited is hard for the characters and the reader! But as a friend that read it first stated – happy endings after a lot of sadness.Elizabeth Musser is a very talented writer. Her characters are complex, well-developed and completely believable. Her research is meticulous and accurate. The settings come alive in her prose. And the love of God shows through naturally. She is definitely an author on my must read list.One more book is in the series — Two Destinies. It takes place some years following the first two books. And of course, it is in the TBR pile! If you want some great summer reads, pick up these three books and get ready for some wonderful reading.Highly Recommended.

      Gabriella and David are still in France, working to save as many orphans as possible while coming to grips with their discovery of David’s daughter. Gabriella goes to class and works at the orphanage, while David teaches classes until David goes to Algeria to bring back his former lover, the mother of his child. As more orphans come to the orphanage, the town turns against it out of racism and the parents of the students in the exchange program begin to grumble. David and Gabriella’s love is tested as they continue their efforts to save children from the Algerian war and an evil Algerian seeking retribution. Gabriella takes a larger role at the orphanage and David goes to Algeria to help Anne-Marie get to France, but he stays behind to help Mustapha. As with the first book, I loved Two Testaments. Musser does an excellent job with all the characters, but especially Mother Griolet as she deals with the racism of the town, overcrowding, and her successor. The story is interesting, exciting, and heart rending. This is definitely one of the best I have read this year. I would recommend it to anyone enjoying history, romance, and suspense.Provided by Netgalley.com.
