Ellie Bonney cares for her father and participates in her patient suitor's courtship while hiding the pain of an unresolved memory, while schoolteacher Birdie Wharton finds her predictable life and a difficult past challenged by a secret admirer. Original.
This book was a quite a bit slower than the previous ones that I thoroughly enjoyed, but still a story worth reading. I felt like the story could have moved a little faster and kept my interest. I felt like the characters were conflicting in characteristics and values, one time extolling their virtues the next their cattiness.
Out of the 5 books of this 6 book series, this was almost the best storyline! It starts out a little on the sad side, but shows the Lord's working in each character's life and ends with a twist...won't tell you what or how, though! I am so thankful to have found all 6 books, so I can finish this series.
