The Girl from the Hidden Forest

Brace yourself to be swept away. Hannah Linder's newest release will make you laugh, ponder, and reach for the handkerchiefs.

The Girl From the Hidden Forest opens with Eliza and her little dog, Merrylad, walking through the forest she calls home. And something is wrong. The forest is supposed to be her safe haven in dangerous world, but she can't shake the sense of danger . . .

Enter Felton Northwood, the daring, determined young man on a quest to redeem his family's name. The only person who can bring the truth to light is Eliza, so he kidnaps her, plain and simple.

Felton is one of the most complex heroes I've encountered. He's brave, but reckless. He settles things with his fists rather than words. And sometimes he needs a good shake for all his selfishness, yet he's still a loveable character.

Eliza's sweetness contrasted him perfectly. And the danger creeping in around her was absolutely hair-raising.

The lessons both character learn about facing fear and discovering what truly matters in life add a lovely theme to the story. Prayer is interspersed throughout the book.

The Girl From the Hidden Forest is perfect for anyone looking for a story with twists reminiscent of fairytales.
