A Story of True Love in Renaissance France . . . Twisted Fate tells the saga of families in France caught up in the Protestant Reformation begun early in the sixteenth century by Martin Luther in Germany and John Calvin in Switzerland. The Reformation caused great conflict between the Catholic Church in France and the Huguenots, who desired religious toleration from the church and from the government. The reader gets involved in the lives of these families filled with political intrigue, murder, suspense, persecution, survival, and ultimately enduring love. The past is made vibrant in a story of faith by bringing together historical and fictional people and events from Renaissance France. Finally, Twisted Fate, as the title implies, is filled with twists, turns, and surprises that promise to keep the reader spellbound. Frank Harrelson has always had an interest in the history and development of Europe in ancient times. Out of curiosity of his family ancestry, he began his genealogy search almost forty years ago at the National Archives in Washington, DC. Establishing his maternal roots led to the discovery of his Horry ancestors in the ancient French province of Angoumois. This is the first historical novel by the author. Frank Harrelson is a member of the Huguenot Society of South Carolina, the Society of First Families of South Carolina, and the Sons of the American Revolution.
