But even after four years of posing as a respectable widow in Glory, Texas, she is always afraid someone from her past might reveal her true identity.Believing no man could love her if he knew the truth, Laura tries to resist Brand’s courtship. His reputation would be shattered if Laura’s former life is discovered. But it’s not only Laura’s past that threatens to bring him down—it’s also his own. As they open their hearts to love and faith, will Laura and Brand find the depth and power of forgiveness from their community?

So Sweet

I absolutely loved this book, it was really sweet and full of good vibes and I really needed that, if you want something that will make your heart flutter non stop this book is for you
the book follows Laura who has a dark past she wishes to bury and Brandon who is a preacher, these two people are the exact opposite yet they need each other to forgive themselves from their pasts
so sweet, so cute and I will certainly continue on with the series to see what happened to Laura's sisters :)

The narration is Excellent, it has been a while since I was last impressed by a narration this much, hope she is the narrator for the rest of the series

Exceptional

Can I just say Wow? I did not know what to expect because this is the first book by this author I have read or listened to.. But I am a devoted fan now to be sure! This story had so much depth and emotion and puzzle pieces that were never expected, I could not wait until the next words were uttered!
The narrator Renee Raudman was such a pleasure listening to with all of her different voices and inflections, it felt like I was watching a movie. The children voices were almost painful because their anguish came through as well as the adults.
This is a story of the horrors that a childhood could bring during this time period and even today with different variations and it will make you thankful.
Four sisters left after their parents passed away after their long journey from Ireland, when their terrible aunt and uncle took custody of them. Of course they had children of their own to try to support, but still,.. I am sure this did happen a lot.
This is Laura's story, the oldest and what happened to her. How she survived and finally found love that was hard won.
Amazing, just amazing. Cannot wait to listen to more!!

Great start to this series. Lovely heartfelt story of sisters who were separated after tragic events early in life. I cried more than once during this story and I also smiled a lot too. Very touching and inspiring. Cant wait to listen to the next book.
