It was a radical time, filled with promise, hope, and exciting new opportunities. It was a time when people made sure their voices were heard; they changed our world forever. It was thrilling and frightening and challenging. That time was the 1960s. When facing times of tumultuous transformation, people often seek solace and comfort in safe havens--sanctuaries, if you will--to protect themselves and their loved ones from the stormy world around them. Through it all - the turmoil, the rock music, the assassination of powerful leaders, the civil rights movement, the tent revivals, KKK rallies, desegregation, space walks, the hippies and the war, the little community of Spring Lake grows and flourishes and changes, as does our nation and as does our world. 7 Sanctuaries is a story told in a series of vignettes about life in a small town in the South during the 1960s. They all swirl together in the final vignette in a night of possibility and sacrifice."A well-told tale about a time we cannot afford to forget." - Bonnie Hearn Hill"Careful character development, a socially important plot, and insightful writing combine to make &amp; Sanctuaries a masterpiece of brilliant writing." Richard R. Blake for Reader Views. Baby boomers will recall good and tough memories of an important time in our history. New readers will enjoy learning about an era like no other.

Allan Chappel enrolled in seminary to change the world, but people lied and people died, and he turned in his clerical collar for an office cubicle. Now, years later, the ghosts of his past are back to haunt him, and they're uglier and more powerful than before. When the offices of a new medical think tank called Inc.Ubator are destroyed in a fiery blast, Allan finds himself the prime suspect and the target of an international manhunt. Forced into hiding, he sets out to find the terrorists responsible and clear his name. But his quest for answers only leads to more questions: What were the researchers at Inc.Ubator hiding? And who was willing to spill blood to keep their work a secret? Allan must stay alive long enough to untwist the truth. Unfortunately, the forces opposing him will stop at nothing to prevent the release of the 3rd Option.
