My Review
A wonderful message is found in this book, we may not feel worthy of many things but God does not give up on us. A fascinating story about the time period right after the Civil War but yet takes place in England. Dr. John Turner carries a heavy burden, he won't let himself forget or forgive himself. He jumps at an opportunity to start over in England with an unexpected inheritance and is now the lord of Ashford Hall. Once there he meets another troubled soul. Penelope Howard helps others as much as possible to keep busy so she won't remember her loss. So many times we are held by our memories in the past while others have moved on. These memories can be very damaging to our souls. I was captivated by this story with it's strong sense of rediscovering self worth and forgiveness of self. Published July 25th 2018 I received a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
GoodReads 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.
