    About this audiobook

    Two women. One collision course with truth.

    Physiotherapist Esther has survived cancer, but wounds within her family remain unhealed. Is her revived faith the reason for the rift or could a simmering secret be the root cause?

    Cosmetics consultant Rachel buried her past - and her father’s God - but the past refuses to stay buried. Will she continue to run or is confronting her pain the way to freedom?


    Can God’s grace shine even in the darkest of shadows?

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title beautiful, meaningful, and hopeful. The message of the book is so good that it's worth putting up with the poor audio quality. This spiritual story explores family secrets and the love of God in a poignant way that may answer some unasked questions.

      Beautiful, meaningful, hopeful! The follow up to "Grace in Strange Disguise" gives poignant look at a family divided by a false view of God. The beautiful part is seeing them discover the true view of God. I listened to the audio and enjoyed Christine's lovely Australian accent!

      The message of the book is so good it's worth listening to the poor audio quality. This in her first book are probably the most UNpolished audiobooks I've ever listened to but the message of this book and her first are worth putting up with it to me. This is a spiritual story. It is a story of family secrets and of a God who loves us and will go to great lengths to draw us to Himself and it just might answer some questions you were afraid to ask

      It's a gift to be able to include such clear presentations of the Gospel in a book without coming across as preachy or dry. This book ministered to my spirit in it's well done illustrations of faith and the object of that faith. Esther's story continues and we get to know some of the other characters a little better. A definite 5 star book both in spiritual application as well as entertainment.

      EARLY REVIEW: Book due to be launched 1 Aug. If you liked the first book, you need to read this one. If you haven't read 'Grace in Strange Disguise', read it now while you wait for this sequel to be released!

      In Dillon’s first book, we met Esther who is diagnosed with cancer, which becomes the catalyst to the realisation that the faith she grew up with was askew from the reality of God.
      In this book, Esther’s story continues her journey of faith with the unexpected discovery that her trust in God’s plan had gaping holes, as she tries to force His hand to act according to her timing, though with good intentions.

      Rachel’s story is interwoven in the chapters in between – we slowly get a sense of this driven woman: plagued by a past she can’t run away from, decisions that can’t be undone. The paths of these women collide and begin to develop into a more complex story with twists galore.

      TIP TO THE WISE - Do not skip the prologue! While the characters are blissfully unaware of the revelations to come, as the readers, we are given a backstage pass in the prologue so we watch the unfolding drama with some level of understanding. However, just over half way, the plot twists unaccountably and devastatingly, leaving us in as much mystery as the characters in the story. Never have I wanted another miracle so badly for Esther.

      Dillon's first book was a good read. This sequel is an amazing read! Dillon has matured in her writing and the flow of her story between fiction (the story of Esther, Rachel et al) and fact (the story of Jesus) are evidence of that. This book more naturally showcases the story telling technique that Dillon has written about (in her non-fiction work 'Telling the Gospel through Story') as a way of sharing about Jesus. (that is another book you ought to have in your resources library)
