Redeemed From The Ashes
Redeemed From the Ashes is the story of a misguided young woman named Evelyn Richardson whose maimed husband Carl goes missing as a result of the Halifax Explosion of 1917. Bedridden because of an injury, she is unable to immediately search him out. The chances of finding him grow thin as the days pass into cruel winter and the chaos of a shattered city remains.
After several weeks of searching, Evelyn is encouraged by her disheartening mother to leave Carl for dead and to move on with her life. At first she refuses such a notion; but when Gerald MacCrae, a doctor at Camp Hill Hospital, enters her heart in friendship, her resolve weakens and finally disintegrates. Gerald harbours a secret from the past and within the present that threatens to rip apart any chance at happiness for Evelyn again. Can she redeem any shred of familiarity from her past or will she forge ahead on the wings of a new life, a new love?

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. It was very well written with an intriguing story line that made me want to keep on reading. It usually takes me a few months (or sometimes even longer) to get through reading a novel, but I finished this one in about a week. I am really looking forward to reading the next in the series.

I read in a day. Couldn’t put it down. Twists and turns throughout whole book. Can’t wait to read her other book wisps of gold

You will devour this book! The last 100 page was such a roller coaster ride. I was very intrigued with the B's character as a vilain. Halifax itself was a character in this story. A fast paced book that at times, you wish you'd slow down. Awesome read.
