FAITHFUL OF HEART is the first novel in the A Minnesota Legacy series by TRACIE PETERSON. The story takes place in Minnesota in the late 1800’s, after the American Civil War that left so many widowed, orphaned and homeless. Dr Roman Taylor and Judith Stanford are both filled with compassion for the destitute, and each in their own way work tirelessly to help those in need, him with his medical training and her with her wealth. They are strongly attracted to one another, but will Roman ever be able to forgive Judith’s grandfather for causing his familymso much pain?…..
When Judith is summoned by James Ashton, the grandfather she has never met who cut her father off for marrying a woman he considered below his station, to Minnesota, she first of all refuses to go. When Norbert Black, her grandfather’s lawyer, approaches her with a large bank draft from his employer that she can use in her charity work,she reluctantly goes with him……
The story is beautifully told, the characters well portrayed and the strong Christian message of forgiveness and redemption, backed up by Scripture verses, is excellent.
I cannot recommend this lovely read strongly enough and am looking forward to the next novel in the series.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
