Hidden but FREE - Hardcover

by J. Laura Chandler (Author)

At thirty-three, Lana Cantrell makes a decision that shocks the world: she disappears.

An Olympic gold medalist and CEO of a successful publishing house, Lana has lived a life marked by achievement. Yet behind the accolades lies years of emotional strain under the weight of a controlling family. Exhausted and desperate for peace, she orchestrates a careful escape, leaving her career, reputation, and identity behind in search of freedom.

Her journey takes her to a remote mountain home in Whistler, where she agrees to house-sit for Will Stewart, a thoughtful and principled author. There, surrounded by snow-covered peaks and stillness, Lana begins to breathe again. A loyal Border Collie named Skip becomes her constant companion, offering unconditional love and quiet reassurance.

As weeks pass, Lana slowly confronts the fears that drove her away. Through conversations with Will, time in God's Word, and the healing rhythm of nature, she begins to understand that freedom is not found in hiding, but in surrender.

Hidden but FREE is a powerful Christian novel about emotional healing, rediscovering identity, and learning to trust again. It is a story of courage, faith, and the quiet ways God restores a weary heart.
