BOOK BY: Christine Hill Suntz
Finally! Another Canadian historical for the inspirational market.
I loved the fact this story was set during the Upper Canada rebellion of 1837, in Toronto (when the population was less than 10,000 people). It served as a wonderful backdrop for James and Sara’s story.
James Kinney is a solid hero – a widower who treasures his only daughter, and is focused on his law practice in Toronto. He makes some errors in choices, but to his credit, he thinks it is the for his daughter’s best.
Sara O’Connor is a likeable heroine, even though she carries a secret through much of the story. There’s a nice twist to her secret that readers will enjoy.
The characters are well-developed and readers will either really like them or dislike them. It’s easy to imagine the small section of Toronto with the author’s descriptions and the story clips along at a nice pace.
I quite enjoyed this historical novel and look forward to reading more from this author.
I received an ecopy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
