Can she find happiness and love in the place she once only wanted to leave?
As the youngest Holley sister, Miriam has always been a bit of a rebel. After spending several years backpacking through Europe and Australia, she’s now back home… unemployed and pregnant, with no boyfriend or husband in sight.
At first, Miriam only wants to hide away from the shocked and prying eyes of her father’s parishioners, but her sisters won’t let her. Determined to help her find her way, they urge Miriam to accept a job working as an assistant to Simon, the new vicar… and to think about what will happen when the baby comes.
As Miriam starts putting down roots, she finds an unexpected friendship in her sister Rachel’s ex-fiancé, Dan Taylor. And as she thinks about her future, she finds hope and healing in the most unexpected places. But when the past rushes up to meet both her and Dan, can Miriam stay the course?
My Review:
I have read all of the books in The Holley Sisters of
Thornthwaite series and I found this one to be my favorite. The youngest Holley sister, Miriam, struggles
with her faith and rebels. She decided
to travel the world. But in Australia, Miriam
ends up pregnant by a man she knows nothing about except for his first name,
Rory. So, she makes her way back home to
her family. Miriam is unsure if she
wants to keep the baby or give it up for adoption. She worries about her reputation, and even
when people try to help her, she tries to push them away. But, there is one person Miriam becomes good
friends with, Dan, who was once engaged to one of her sisters. Dan offers Miriam a place to live in exchange
for helping him out in his veterinary clinic. Just when Miriam and Dan’s friendship is about
to move on to a new level, Rory shows up.
Now, Miriam will have even more decisions to make.
This book has more of a women’s fiction feel to it than a
romance. There are many real life
situations that the Holley family goes through and I enjoy seeing how they work
things out. I also liked catching up
with the rest of the Holley family in this story. Though this book feels like it’s wrapping up
the series, I sure hope there will be more books to follow.
