My Dearest Love

Longing for Home, Book 4

By: Sarah M. Eden

Narrated by: Nancy Peterson

From the USA Today best-selling author of the Longing for Home series, My Dearest Love is set in the beloved world of Hope Springs. Ian O’Connor spends his days in the purgatory of a New York textile factory, enduring the dangerous conditions to keep his family afloat. Somewhere in the vast, dark corridors of his daily prison is an angel. He has seen her only once, but is determined to find her again.

Biddy Dillon has lost her home and her family. Loneliness chips away at her fragile hopes until she meets Ian, whose soft-spoken kindness touches her heart. For the first time in years, she begins to believe in the possibility of good things to come.

When tragedy conspires to pull the couple apart, they must decide if theirs is a future meant to be built together, or if fate has other plans.

Heartwarming and Sweet

A sweet, kind, gentle romance, but a little shorter than the others I've read.

A lovely story

I loved the story although short, it was wonderful! Highly recommend it! Sarah M. Eden does it again!

Good stories!

I am enjoying this author very much!
I am going through these books, and each one has been very good

following characters in different y of their story.

a little too short for my liking - I like the long ones - more please! 😊 Love this series!!

Lovely

I am really glad that this book finally came to audible! It was a novella first I believe. And it didn’t make it to audible, I had read, or I guess listen to all of the other books, and when I saw on Sarah‘s website that this book existed. I was kind of sad lol. I’m glad they kept the same narrator. Really enjoyed hearing this prequel…

Such a cute book.

I fell in love with the story and the characters. It was sweet and well written.

We Get Acquainted with Ian, the Quiet Brother

I now have read all the books in this series and have grown to love this family: its love, empathy and devotion to each other. We get to know Finnbar as a small boy which will give us more insight into his character in a later book as a teenager. I wish the story had been longer and had let us know Ian and Biddy better. We get to know the brother Patrick, perhaps more than we know about Ian. Although there will be a later book on Patrick after he has been off to fight as a Union soldier, I wish Ms. Eden would write a book featuring Patrick and the historical setting of the Civil War. What was the extended O’Connor family feeling as two of the brothers were away fighting in the war? A book on Joseph Archer, his Baltimore days and what led him to Wyoming would be most interesting as well. Although this is a good book, I didn’t find it as interesting as the other books in the series,
