Jane used to have a different name, a different life—but that was before she was rescued from the refugee camp after the Rwandan genocide and brought to the convent to be raised. Now she is being dismissed, told to go out into the world. 

Tim Singleton lost his wife to breast cancer less than a year ago and yet the pain and anger is still fresh in his mind. When Corrine died, so did Tim’s faith…so when he received the call from the convent, Tim isn’t quite sure why he agreed to help the young African girl with a job. 

She didn’t quite fit in with the others at the law firm that wore thousand dollar Chanel suits while her clothes were picked with care from the donation bin at the church. At nearly six feet tall, the shy girl tried to become invisible in the hectic world around her. But if her ill-fitting clothes didn’t draw attention to her, then it was a beauty that couldn’t be hidden so easily.

Soon Jane sees Tim as not only her benefactor, but her one true love. But can Tim finally open up and allow someone else touch his heart? Can he forget their difference in race and age? And more importantly, would being with him mean the loss of her innocence?


A Seal Upon Your Heart

As Martier read, her hands began to sweat. The next home was that of Thomas and Candis Ibori and their two children—who were unnamed. As Martier read the details of the slaughter, she covered her mouth and cried. She remembered that Papa used to drink beer with Mr. Ibori …


Martin didn't return home after the first day but stayed at a camp where he and his men provided reports of their activities and were given additional weapons including high-powered rifles. The next day was a repeat of the first—with one difference. Someone had found out that Benitha Besigye had provided information to Tutsis. Her father was then taken into custody, and her mother's name was placed on the list for execution.


Martier turned to the last page of the file, her hands shaking. 


It read: "Martin Besigye was killed while awaiting trial; prison officials found his beaten body on August 12, 1994."
