Product Description:
One Woman’s Choice, One Family’s Legacy
Taite Abbot has always been a free spirit, and she has the tattoos and piercings to prove it. So when her boyfriend, medical student Sam Wellington, leaves for a fellowship thousands of miles away before he knows she is pregnant, Taite is unwilling destroy his chance of becoming a doctor. Completely unprepared to face parenthood alone, she decides to get an abortion. But without any emotional or financial resources, Taite first seeks solace from her Welsh grandmother, Naini.
“Do you remember the stories I once told you, Taite? About the family? …
There were some I didn’t tell you…. Some were too hard to tell.”
From the moment the disillusioned young woman arrives, Naini knows that time is running out, both for Taite and for herself. The aging woman must make her granddaughter understand the heart and soul of their family’s ancient legacy. But for Taite to discover the passion and faith that can keep love alive, Naini must tell the hard stories, one last time.
Interweaving a medieval adventure with the dilemmas of contemporary romance, The Last Storyteller draws ancient grace into modern lives through the powerful telling of stories.

Rating:  - Great Premise but Poor Storytelling
Taite Abbot is pregnant. Her long time boyfriend, Sam Wellington, has accepted a medical fellowship at the Institute of Neurological Research in Boston. Taite embarrassed by her upbringing, dreadlocks, tattoos and piercings has decided she isn't the appropriate girlfriend (or future wife) for the future doctor, even though she believes she loves him more than anything. She convinces herself that breaking up with him and not telling him about the pregnancy and her plans for abortion is the right thing ... Read More
Rating:  - A great book
The Last Storyteller is a novel filled with difficult choices, individual growth, love and forgiveness. The writing in the historical segments is lyrical and beautiful to read. The modern day storyline gets to the heart of some of life's most heartfelt situations and challenges. Thank you, Ms. Noble, for giving us a thought provoking, tender story of renewal and Christian faith. Bravo!!
Rating: - Not for me
Not particularly well written right-to-life Christian propaganda, disguised as a novel. I picked this up on a whim - what a mistake.
Rating: - a great book for all to enjoy
A beautiful story centred on a young woman called Taite, who finds herself pregnant, seemingly alone and very confused.
Set in present day, but blended carefully with a tale of times long past, the author, with rare honesty confronts some of the hard issues that we currently face in our world today. Namely abortion and stem cell research.
Very well written, the book holds your attention, and touches your heart as Taite works through deeply felt hurt, resentment and unforgiveness.
