Pennsylvania 1739 : Stanton Klein’s father had given up on life after his wife died and left Stanton orphaned to live with his grandparents. He decided he would never love like that.

However, with the changes come important lessons and dangers that Stanton never imagined.

Beth Evans has taken care of her father since he fell from a barn roof and can no longer walk. People, like Fiona, have always made fun of her, because she has a limp. When Stanton befriends her, she’s wary but also intrigued. Her father encourages her to give Stanton a chance, but how can she be sure this is what’s best?

Wonderful story of love and faith

This tale of love between a decent-hearted farmer and a devout young lady with a limp captured my heart as well. Stanton's and Beth's respect and kindness for each other was so touching and admirable. Even in times of emergency and fear, Beth's faith in God held firm, which encouraged Stanton. The narrator did a wonderful job, and I enjoyed his elegant intonation and voicing of different characters.

Great story

Suspense, romance, redemption, character development...thoroughly
enjoyed this Christian historical fiction and would recommend it highly.

Beautiful Story of Love

What a beautiful story of love and learning how to love others. This story is a perfect listen for anyone who loves sweet romances.

Love and faith

I enjoyed this book so much. The love and faith that both Stanton and Beth shared. Beth had to overcome self doubt due to her limp and trust that Stanton really was interested in her. I loved the gift he bought her after their wedding, so thoughtful. The author wove some suspense into the story to keep readers engaged and intrigued.

I thought the narration was very well done.

Wonderful

A story that captured my heart at the beginning and did not let go until the end.

Beth takes care of her father, who had been injured years ago. She herself has a limp from when she was young, but she was strong in her faith. When she meets Stanton, it seems like he is actually interested in her and her disability does not matter.

Suspense, mystery, an evil villain, and finding an even stronger faith, carry this story of love and redemption to a wonderful conclusion. The narrator's voice almost mesmerized me and brought this story alive.

I cannot wait to hear more by this author!
