Bergren’s popular Grand Tour Series Concludes with Glittering Promises
Each of us must set upon a spiritual
journey to find out who we really are. For Cora Kensington, the greatest
discovery about herself occurred during an epic Grand Tour across Europe. In Glittering Promises (David C Cook/October 1, 2013/ISBN 978-1434764287/ $14.99), the final installment of the Grand Tour
Series by Lisa T. Bergren, Cora
comes to terms with the Father who will never fail her while wrestling with
increased demands on her life and heart.
Glittering Promises picks
up where the second installment, Grave
Consequences, left off. Cora’s tour across Europe has opened her eyes to a
family she never knew, a love she’d always longed for with their tour guide,
Will, and a world she never thought she’d experience. However, as her travels
come to an end and she considers her future, Cora wonders if everything she’s
gained will be left behind in Rome. A complex web of manipulation and
circumstance sends her reeling, and she must find the strength, wisdom and
faith to find her way home.
As the tour continues, Cora is faced with a
barrage of journalists who are tracking the news story of the decade — “Copper
Cora,” the rags-to-riches girl — and want to know more about her family and the
men vying for her attention. Meanwhile, Will is also struggling with Cora’s
newfound wealth, and she begins to wonder if their love is strong enough to
withstand all that threatens to pull them apart. Complicating matters is the
stubborn pursuit of Pierre de Richelieu and the increased demands on her time
and attention.
America’s newest heiress must decide what
direction her life will take once their tour is over. Is her potential fortune
reason enough to give up her freedom and all the life God is leading her
toward? When the siblings she has just met are faced with a crisis, her
quandary deepens. While Cora fights to remain true to her past, reconcile her
present and still embrace her future, there is one thing she has become sure
of: Wealth cannot buy peace or direction. Once they arrive in Rome, Cora knows
it’s time to decide who and what defines her and who and what does not.
Throughout the series, readers have joined Cora
and her travel companions not only on a Grand Tour of the major sites of
Europe, but on an adventure of forgiveness, spiritual awareness and self-discovery.
Cora’s quest to find her place within her new family parallels her realization
that her true identity rests not with her earthly family, but with her Heavenly
Father. “The Grand Tour is not only Cora’s journey toward understanding true
identity in Christ, but I hope it will help every reader understand it better
too,” explains Bergren.
Not only does Bergren vividly paint the
landscapes of Europe, she serves up savory bites of 1913 history happening
around the events within the story. The Grand Tour series is a captivating
trilogy sparkling with real-life edge, rich characters and a deeper message for
the series that has received critical acclaim. The first installment, Glamorous Illusions, was a RT Book
Reviews Top Pick and one of their 2012 Reviewer’s Choice Award Nominees for
Inspirational Romance.
