Customer Reviews

Great Read!

[...] Short skirts, short haircuts, smoking, and dancing The Charleston are all symbols of The Roaring Twenties. But for Christians, nothing brings that era to life better than Love Find You In Maiden, North Carolina by Tamela Hancock Murray. Unlike many young women in the nineteen twenties, Hestia Myatt dreamed of becoming a doctor, not bobbing her hair and wearing flapper dresses. But after a broken engagement, she headed for the hills of North Carolina to care for her ailing aunt. While there, she is reacquainted with handsome Booth Barrington, and she sees her cousin, Selene, again. Will Selene's flashy, modern ways influence Hestia? Or will Hestia's strong faith help point Selene to the Lord? Love Finds You In Maiden, North Carolina is a heartwarming romance that will capture your interest from sentence one and hold it until the end. [...] I give her novel five stars.

Refreshing

I enjoyed this book. While it may have been a bit predictable, it was a nice, lighthearted change of pace. I really liked the era that this book was written in. I was also glad to see the strength of character and convictions that the main character had. I would recommend this book--and if you like the time period, check out some of Grace Livingston Hill's books (which were written in the 1920's)!
