In THE LUMBER BARON’S WIFE LYNN AUSTIN has given us an interesting and inspirational story of three women, Hannah Webster, wife of Dr John Webster, and Kate Abernathy, trophy wife of Henry the lumber baron, in the late 19th century, and Ashley Gilbert, an avid historian, whose husband David is a conservationist, in present time, who have all moved to a timber town on Lake Michigan. Not only is the novel rich in history, but the lives of these three very different women meld together to give us a wonderful story of bravery, redemption, friendship, marriage and forgiveness, as their emotions are revealed to us. Each of the women have life changing decisions to make………
As is the case with all of this author’s novels, the Christian message is beautifully explained and forms an integral part of the story.
The two timelines run into each other seamlessly as the truth about Kate Abernathy’s disappearance is revealed.
I cannot recommend this beautiful book strongly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Tyndale House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
