About this eBook
For as long as she can remember, Gabrielle Hope has had the gift of knowing--visions that warn of things to come. When she and her mother joined the Pleasant Hill Shaker community in 1807, the community embraced her gift. But Gabrielle fears this gift, for the visions are often ones of sorrow and tragedy. When one of these visions comes to pass, a local doctor must be brought in to save the life of a young man, setting into motion a chain of events that will challenge Gabrielle's loyalty to the Shakers. As she falls deeper into a forbidden love for this man of the world, Gabrielle must make a choice. Can she experience true happiness in this simple and chaste community? Or will she abandon her brothers and sisters for a life of the unknown?
Soulful and filled with romance, The Outsider lets readers live within a bygone time among a unique and peculiar people. This tender and thought-provoking story will leave readers wanting more from this writer.

I previously gave a 3 star rating, but the book is even worse! This man that claims to "love" the main character also has absolutely no respect or consideration for her religious convictions, and keeps kissing her without permission. He doesn't love her, he wants to sleep with her, and vice versa. How could they love each other? They spent almost no time together and barely know each other. They're just horny! They have no bond, no understanding. Argh!
