About the Book
 |
| ★★★★★ |
After her father's death, Caroline Taylor has grown confident
running the Windmill Point Lighthouse. But in 1865 Michigan, women aren't
supposed to have such roles, so it's only a matter of time before the
lighthouse inspector appoints a new keeper – even though Caroline has nowhere
else to go and no other job available to her.
Ryan Chambers is a Civil War veteran still haunted by the horrors
of battle. He's secured the position of lighthouse keeper mostly for the isolation
– the chance to hide from his past is appealing. He's not expecting the current
keeper to be a feisty and beautiful woman who's angry with him for taking her
job and for his inability to properly run the light. When his failings endanger
others, he and Caroline realize he's in no shape to run the lighthouse, but
he's unwilling to let anyone close enough to help. Caroline feels drawn to this
wounded soul, but with both of them relying on that single position, can they
look past their loss to a future filled with hope… and possibly love?
Hearts
Made Whole, the
second novel in the Beacons of Hope series, easily contains all the wonderful
qualities a reader should hope for and expect in one of Jody Hedlund’s novels
and fans will not be disappointed. In this novel, Hedlund gives Ryan Chambers,
the brother of Emma from Love Unexpected, his own story, continuing to
use the setting of a lighthouse, and naturally fills the plot with action,
drama, suspense and romance within a well-established historical context. Ryan
and his leading lady, Caroline Taylor, both have difficulties to overcome and
spiritual lessons to understand and accept as they unexpectedly and suddenly
cross paths at the Windmill Point Lighthouse. They challenge and support each
other in moving forward, encountering a fair share of surprises and emotions
along the way. A delightfully heartwarming novel of hope and healing, Hearts
Made Whole is the perfect read for fans of historical romance. I highly
recommend it and now can’t wait for Undaunted Hope.
