Beneath the Stone Cold Floor Tanya M Cooper

After discovering a diary of a young nun who was forced to flee La Popa Monastery during the British invasion of Cartagena, Colombia in 1741; Grace - the daughter of guerilla revolutionaries - who devoted her life to God ten years earlier to avoid the same fate as her parents - is suddenly faced with choosing between a pious life; or abandoning it for the sake of continuing her parent's legacy within the tumultuous terrain of the Andes Mountains. Grace begins to read the forgotten diary in hopes that she might find answers to her own question: Should she choose a life of dedication and safety or follow the restlessness of her heart? Beneath the Stone Cold Floor spans two centuries of political unrest and two women's lives that are inextricably linked; and yet each woman is alone in her struggle to find her identity and place, amidst a land that is divided against itself. Prequel to Beneath the Stone Cold Floor is The Revolutionary's Daughter.
