A Historical Christian Romance of Courage and Unexpected Love
REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"Tomorrow night, will be the last you see of me . . . mark my words."
Audra Bancroft fled quietly and quickly into the night, disguised as a young man, desperate to put miles between herself and the despicable man whom her uncle declared would be her husband. Arriving in a small Indiana town, she fell upon the good graces of the Haystead family matriarch who offered her refuge on their farm, never asking too many questions. The elder Haystead son was not so accommodating, suspicious of Audra's intentions, and skeptical about her past. On the other hand, the younger siblings, befriended Audra immediately and with the passing of time, Audra dropped her guard long enough to begin to feel at home within the tight-knit community. That proved to be a mistake.
When trouble comes calling, in the heat of the moment Audra's false declaration forges Tobias Haystead into unintended territory and creates a series of complicated circumstances that neither of them would have chosen or could have foreseen.
There is a gentle cadence to this story. As sweet and predictable as it was in some places, it was also as courageous and determined as the heroine herself in others. Would that we would all listen to the gentle, quiet voice of the Spirit when we need Him the most; thankfully, Audra learned to tune her heart in that direction.
No one who reads this book will be able to resist reading the next! What an ending to this lovely, romantic debut!
