Interesting & Heart Touching

This is my first book by this author and the third book in The Stratton Series and I was able to read as a standalone. Characters you want to get to know and pacing that keeps you turning pages. I really enjoyed the author’s style and look forward to reading more. I could identify with Ivelisse and the feeling of being an orphan stigma as my mama was in an orphanage. I loved her kind and compassionate heart towards others and the developing romance between her and Jackson. It was interesting having a character with amnesia and how it was dealt with in 1898. How frustrating to live with a battle in your mind to remember and still be strong enough to move on with life in the meantime. He still knew that still, small voice of God and was encouraged. I was fascinated with how cholera was dealt with and nursing duties for that time period. A well rounded story of faith, family, forgiveness, acceptance, & love. A beautiful book from the exquisite cover to the final words. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
