When the weight of the past presses in, can grace still rise?

Of Silver and Secrets pulled me into a world where ancient silver glints with promise, where secrets feel heavy as stone, and where God’s steady hand is the only compass worth trusting. In 1889 England, Eva and Bram’s story feels like a prayer answered slowly—a journey through guilt, wonder, and the quiet faith that holds everything together.

“God, I need answers… Jesus alone is our anchor.” Isn’t that the heart of every question we bring to God—Can grace really cover the ruins of my past? Will He see me even here? In these pages, I was reminded that His fingerprints never fade, even when life feels beyond repair. The shimmer of silver can’t outshine the quiet treasure of a soul held in His care.

Bram’s unwavering faith in the face of loss and Eva’s courage to see beyond fear spoke to me in such a gentle, powerful way. There’s something about Michelle Griep’s writing that beautifully entertains and tenderly invites you to breathe deeper and remember that no secret—whether spoken aloud or whispered only to ourselves—is too heavy for grace, and no heartbreak is beyond His care.

In the end, Of Silver and Secrets is a love story—yes, between a man and a woman, but even more so between a searching soul and the one and only sovereign God. It’s a story for those of us who need the reminder that faith, even in the smallest choices, can turn buried fears into the brightest kind of treasure.

Read it, savor it, and let it remind you that no secret is too heavy for grace.
