'Retreat to Vision': New Novel Balances Secularity with Christianity in Thrilling Plotline

CONCHO, Ariz., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Follow a spirited young wife and mother as she embarks on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and wisdom in Retreat to Vision (published by Trafford Publishing), the exciting new novel by Ann Hastings.

Set on a ranch in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Retreat to Vision introduces Jen Riley, a mother of two and avid horsewoman. While Jen's life seems to be perfect on the outside, she is troubled by a series of vivid nightmares. Her two children, Jenny and Nicolas, worry about their mother's well being when she takes off on long, dangerous horseback rides following the bad dreams.

When Jen's husband, Frank, comes home from a business trip, the children are able to voice their fears to him. Sure enough, that very night Frank sees what they are talking about. Hastings writes:

Jen was covered in sweat. Her hair was dripping, like she'd just come out of a shower. The pinkish color of the sheets and her nightgown revealed she had been literally sweating her very blood.

She held her left shoulder, the searing pain already dulling. Her face was sullen, and pale, dark circles had encompassed her eyes. She looked as if she'd been in battle.

The children each had a task. Nicholas started Jen's bath, Jenny got out the clean sheets. Throwing half the set to her father, who was frozen in fear, lost in the shock of what he'd seen, she said, "So...this is how it's been Dad."

What are these dreams trying to tell Jen? How does spirituality come into play? Does God have a message for her? Find out in the pages of Retreat to Vision, the first installment in Hastings' new trilogy that was inspired by the author's own dreams.

"This story will appeal to people who are excited about the times we live in, and the hope of Christ's return," Hastings writes. "When I am asked about this work I simply say, 'If you like horses and horsemen you will enjoy the story; if you believe in God, you'll love the story.' This is a secular work of Christianity and is controversial as the story unfolds."

Filled with action, romance and suspense, Retreat to Vision offers an ideal combination of thought-provoking questions and entertaining drama. Follow Jen on her incredible journey in the pages of this compulsively readable new book.
