Twice Born

Twice BornLove, Loss and a MiracleBy Robert HartBased on the testimony of Thomas Archer and Willow ArcherAn elderly couple live in a cottage on the banks of the River Dart in Devon, in the shelter of the Hoodown Woods. But their lives have been overshadowed by a family tragedy, that tore them apart, long ago.On a sunny spring day, their Granddaughter, Willow, runs in from the garden and says, "Come Papa, Grandma. Come quick. See what I've found!" What they discover in the woods will change their lives forever.While Papa Tom is tempted into a quest for learning and enlightenment, Grandma Naomi has good reason to fear what he might unleash. Tom and Naomi are drawn back two decades to confront a painful family loss, then back five generations to the terrible murder of an innocent young mother.On their spiritual and emotional journey through loss, blame, guilt and despair, they discover the miracle of a love that can transcend death. This is a story of the power of prayers and promises, and how enduring love can heal the deepest wounds.Robert Hart had a career as a pioneering professional educator. He is now an old man who lives by the sea and writes stories.Front Cover Image by Heather Janche
