Still Life In Shadows by Alice Wisler is a book with many layers. There is a thread of romance, but the real theme of the book is learning to forgive, learning to let go, and learning to trust yourself.

The grandson of one of the martyrs is now working at the school, feeling it is his mission to carry on the…
