Purple Wounds Helen Tinga

When widowed author Ray Gallagher decides to leave behind the juvenile fiction he's been writing in order to write the stories of the older generation, he comes across the story of a retired missionary lady, her abuse as a young woman in the mission field and the love she left behind. The novel follows the changes in the author's life, along with that of his heroine, Jane Norwood, as she's reminiscing the past and the way it has affected her personal identity.
