Summary

The Civil War left its mark on Dr. John Turner. He turns his back on medicine and sees his unexpected inheritance in England as an opportunity to start over. But he never imagines how God intends to use his new role as lord of Ashford Hall or the beautiful woman he finds there to ease his troubled soul.

A tragic loss led Penelope Howard to bury her heart and dreams in her work for the Hall and the village of Woodley. But the arrival of the new heir stirs not only her discarded longings but her compassion as well. What burden does he carry that he can't accept that grace covers the darkest of sins?

A deadly epidemic sweeps through Woodley revealing secrets which threaten everything. The doctor faces a choice: leave or dare to believe what the Lord whispers through the woman John has come to love.

No one is beyond redemption.

Stilted

Perhaps the narrator's uninspired performance detracted from the story but I found it stilted and boring.

Historical Christian romance

A story about accepting God’s forgiveness, redemption and grace for hurting souls. The details of how the hero and heroine navigate the intersection of not measuring up to societal expectations, social status, and medical practice in a rural setting are charmingly rendered. Will look for more by this author.

Narrator lacked lustre

Enjoyable enough story but found the narrator rather lack lustre. The accents and voice changes were questionable and overall felt lacking in energy

The voice sent me to sleep

Might have liked the story better had the narrators voice been more interesting. It genuinely sent me to sleep it was so monotonous.

Not a very good sermon

This is a preaching and Bible translating book. Yes, there are very poor attempts at a romance, but the author should have chosen a different genre to write about. Had I fancied "God on every page" subject, I'd have chosen a completely different book.
Oh, and the narrative is absolutely dreadful.
