My Review:
I finished this a few days ago and then moved, so my brain is all over the place. My review will not do this book justice.
I loved it. The story didn't go in the direction I expected, and it was an unexpected surprise in historical fiction.
This story had everything that I love in a story: strong characters, a well-developed story, found family, bits of humor, and depth. This story deals with gritty issues without glorifying them or oversharing.
★★★★★/5
Synopsis (Goodreads):
As Norah King surveys her family land in Iowa in 1880, she is acutely aware that it is all she has left, and she will do everything in her power to save it--even if that means marrying a man she hardly knows. Days before her wedding, Norah discovers an injured man on her property. Her sense of duty compels her to take him in and nurse him back to health. Little does she realize just how much this act of kindness will complicate her life and threaten the future she's planned.
Norah's care does more than aid Quincy Barnes's recovery--it awakens his heart to possibilities. Penniless and homeless, he knows the most honorable thing he can do is head on down the road and leave Norah to marry her intended. But walking away from the first person to believe in him proves much harder than he imagined.
Rachel Fordham invites you to experience the strength and beauty of love forged in the crucible of hardship in this heartwarming story.
I loved this one, too! :D
ReplyDeleteLark, I don't know why I took so long to read it!! I love her books.
DeleteYour review has bumped this one straight to the top of my TBR — I love historical fiction with strong characters and found family, and gritty themes handled without oversharing sound right up my street. A friend at onc brothers said the same about the ending not going where she expected. Hope the move is settling down nicely, and congratulations on the 4.5 stars!
