My Review
I absolutely loved this book, so uplifting and such a feel good read. This book will make you happy reading it. A second chance at a romance, will the main characters take it?
Thinking she's doing the right thing to protect him, Agnes moves away from the one she loves and tries to forget him as she starts over in a new town and becomes a teacher.
Well she gets the shock of her life when her past catches up with her and she has some tough decisions to make. Agnes and James are both very likable characters, both have some issues to work through . These issues bring depth to the story as they were forced to be together at first but this time together they spend it gracefully and calmly taking about their past. Their personal struggles get resolved through understanding,grace and forgiveness.
When a life changing secret is revealed will Agnes run away from the information she now has or will she use this time to change not only herself but others around her for the better?
I can tell the author really put her heart and soul into this book , it's such an encouraging book. I believe it's her best book yet! Published August 4th 2020 by Fleming H. Revell Company. I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.

GoodReads Summary
Six years ago, a shocking secret sent Agnes Pratt running in search of a new start. She found it in Penance, a rugged town of miners and lumberjacks in the Dakota Territory, where she became Miss Aggie, respected schoolteacher and confirmed old maid. But the past has a way of catching up with people. When childhood friend and former sweetheart James Harris accepts a position as the town doctor, Aggie's pleasantly predictable days suddenly become anything but. James wants to know why Agnes left behind the life they had dreamed of creating for themselves--but he is the one person who can never know. In the shadows of the Black Hills, can a healing light be shed on the past? Or will the secret Agnes can't seem to outrun destroy her chance at happiness? Fan-favorite Rachel Fordham brings to life the dusty streets of an 1880s frontier town in this story that affirms where you come from matters far less than where you're going.

Historical Fiction, Romance, Christian
Rachel Fordham has long been fascinated by all things historical or in the words of her children “old stuff”. Often the historical trivia she discovers is woven into her children's bedtime tales. Despite her love for good stories she didn’t attempt writing a novel until her husband challenged her to do so (and now she’s so glad he did). Since that time she’s often been found typing or researching while her youngest child naps or frantically writing plot twists while she waits in the school pick-up line. In addition to her passion for storytelling she enjoys reading, being outdoors and seeing new places. Rachel lives with her husband and children on an island in Washington state.
