Chateau De Paix

Whenever grief and stress rule our emotions, we can lose touch with reality. We begin to see what is not there and confuse realism with fantasy. Margaret Anderson is a Christian who believed God would heal her mother. When her mother dies, her foundation crumbles and her world seems to be unbalanced. She becomes angry with God for taking her mother. He had taken her father when she was only two years old. Now, she believes her fiancé is going to call off their wedding. She accuses God of taking everyone she loves. People try to convince her that she needs to grieve and heal from such a loss. Finding a brochure inviting her to get away for peace and tranquility at a chateau in the French Alps, she decides to take time off from work. As Margaret meets others who are struggling with storms in their life, she realizes she isn’t the only one going through a tough time. This reality allows her to begin receiving the healing needed. However, as she begins to be enthralled by the serenity of the chateau, she discovers a nightmare is hiding in paradise.
