I’m always excited when I
find a new author that I can add to my favorite's list and Julie Klassen has been
officially added to it!
This is a Christian/Historical/Romantic Fiction book. What a
perfect combination of a book for me. I
was immediately drawn into the story by the characters. Sophie is the painter’s daughter. While working as an apprentice for her
father, she meets an artist (Wesley Overtree) and a romance begins to develop
between them. When an opportunity arises
for him, he quickly gets on a ship and sails to Italy…leaving
Sophie overwhelmed with emotions… and in a predicament. Stephen
Overtree (Wesley’s brother) suddenly appears in the story looking for Wesley. When he learns about the pregnancy he felt
that he needed to try to clean up the mess that his brother left behind. Thus…he
offered Sophie marriage so that she and the baby would be taken care of. She quickly decides that although it’s not
what she really wants, she believes it is the best things for the unborn baby…so
she quickly marries him. The decision is made that she will stay with his
parents while he is away serving his country.
Thus…a new life for her begins.
As the plot continues the
story just seems to keep getting better and better! The character’s lives seem to unfold right
before your reading eyes. I’m going to
stop here and let you get this book and read this book without me ruining it for you. lol
Although this book is not what I would call a religious book…
God’s Amazing Grace and His Unbelievable Forgiveness were definitely shown in
it.
Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. In exchange, I have given an honest review of what I thought about the book.
