But when he is sent to France in disguise to find the source of the banned manuscripts finding their way to England, he meets Anna, who has set up a temporary stall as a bookseller. She has no way of knowing that the rich merchant frequenting her stall is actually a priest---just as he does not know that he has met the woman for whom he will renounce his church. \u003cbr\u003eIt is only in England, which is far from the safe harbor once imagined, that their dangerous secrets will be revealed.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRENDA RICKMAN VANTREASE\u003c\/b\u003e is a former English teacher and librarian who has traveled extensively in the British Isles.
