MY THOUGHTS:

 

I always love to get my hands on a book written by Vickie McDonough, she just has a way with words that make you not want to lay the book down.

When Riley Morgan arrived in Waco, Texas in 1865 when he returned home from the civil war, he found his parents died and his fiance Miranda married to someone else.  He was needing work and the first job he found was being a handyman in a school for blind children and the only place he had to sleep was in the barn.  But at this point he was glad for anything that would give him a meal.

There was a young woman that lives at the school and cares for the younger children and is very much attracted to the young handyman Riley.  But she had a very bad pass as being a pickpocket and thinks she is unsuitable for Riley.  But, when the owner of the school dies and may be closed by the man that inherits the school.  As Riley and Annie fight to save the school they begin to fall in love but what will happen when Riley finds out about Annie's past.  Riley begins to get closer to God, but can he learn to forgive Annie and accept her as she is now.

 

I want to thank Jeanne from Wynn-Wynn Media for sending me this book for my honest review.
