My Thoughts:
Oh my goodness, my heart! What a sweet and romantic read this beauty turned out to be. I haven’t read a lot of Rachel Fordham books (yet), but I thoroughly enjoyed her voice and style in this one. The pacing felt consistent and the storytelling was just beautifully done.
I LOVED getting to read more of Sam’s story! That was perhaps one of my favorite parts of the book. Readers will surely remember him from Fordham‘s previous novel, A Life Once Dreamed. But I also enjoyed getting to know new characters in this novel. Once again, Fordham showcases her ability to create communities of memorable characters who feel like friends.
Overall, this novel is a moving tale of grace, God’s perfect timing, and how He redeems the good, bad, and ugly of our stories to make beautiful things. I highly recommend for fans of sweet historical romances.
I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher. All expressed opinions belong to me.
