Happy Friday!
This week, I'm sharing a snippet from Janine Mendenhall's Starving Hearts, a book I'm excited to start reading this weekend.
"Whatever would he think of her sketching him? She giggled, then sighed."
Goodreads Synopsis:
Since her assault, Miss Annette Chetwynd has been plagued by nightmares and worries about an arranged marriage. But she yearns to find her anonymous rescuer. Unfortunately, her health and intellect prevent it. Both repel suitors and cause Annette to doubt God's existence, at least until He answers her prayers in an unusual way...
Mr. Peter Adsley is joining the clergy, and he desires a godly wife by his side. After his failed attempt to obtain one, he engages in a clandestine meeting with the bewitching young woman who keeps crossing his path. But she is so unsettling.
Destined for disappointments, Peter and Annette endure disgraceful situations. Will Peter's faith sustain him through overwhelming setbacks? Can Annette overcome her doubts? Or will their starving hearts yield to the machinations of a mad man?
So, what do you think?
Gorgeous cover, and very tempting excerpt. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THE GIRLS OF AUGUST”
