The Other Side of Sanctuary Cheryl Crabb

"Set in the beautifully rendered fictional town of Sanctuary on Lake Michigan, The Other Side of Sanctuary is a gripping tale of an ordinary couple facing extraordinary challenges. Through a cast of complex characters caught in a web of romance, jealousy, secrets, and revenge, this story explores the essential questions every person who loves another must ultimately ask: Which sins are forgivable? Which ones are not? And what exactly does it mean to imperfectly love another imperfect human being? The answers will stay with readers long after this story reaches its stunning conclusion." - Jennifer McGaha, author Flat Broke With Two Goats




In The Other Side of Sanctuary, debut author Cheryl Crabb takes readers on an intimate and sometimes dark journey into the emotions that make up a young couple's challenging marriage. What I loved about this story is the care the author took to get us inside the confusing emotions that occur when couples are pushed to the brink. - Christine DeSmet, mystery author, writing coach, and writing retreat director, University of Wisconsin-Madison Continuing Studies
