Adventure, Encouragement, and Suspense
I feel I've lived an adventure from the 1840s. Imagine my surprise when the characters go from Missouri to my home town of Decatur, Il. (Sangamon County) where I grew up. I left when I married 31 years ago. It even started in March 1840. I was born 110 years later in 1950.
But this book drew me in. Ellie experiences so much tragedy losing children. A lot of women could relate to her feelings. I can because I lost a child but before it was born between my oldest and youngest leaving 6 years between them.
All of us experience tragedy but some more than others and it takes time to grieve and walk through it. I grieved two years for the child I lost and then I fought medical problems making it impossible for me to get pregnant. I was reminded of my blessing of Sarah finally.
I laughed, I cried, and sometimes I even held my breath hoping for the best.
The story is vivid. You feel you are connecting to the characters and they become your friends.
Ellie has so much tragedy that you want to draw her into your arms and cry with her.
Matthew has his troubles too to contend with. He feels the gossip of the town aimed at him makes him decide to give up his church. I loved how everything worked together to bring him full circle back to his church and ready to fight for it.
I related because I walked away from my church for 2 years due to people and hurt feelings. But I came back because God wanted me there.
My Grandpa was a circuit preacher so I felt like I could connect to the life he lived before I was born.
Out of tragedy eventually springs hope renewed.
A book that will help you in many many ways.
