Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. 56526 I'm a huge fan of Bethany House books i.e. Historical Fiction Christian Romance genre. I also like all the other books written by Ms. Parr. I just found this book devoid of any real plot. It took 300 pages to find out about the fate of the boarding house. I felt the characters were pure vanilla and overall a very boring book. Sorry. In this middle novel of the Candlewood Trilogy, much happens. Emma opens her home to those seeking temporary shelter after a tragic event strikes the town. She takes in two most unpleasant siblings when no one else would, and this act sorely tries her patience as she endeavors to please them. She is also fearful of losing her boarding house, and tries to carry that burdensome secret alone. But she soon discovers that she needs not bear all of life’s problems by herself. Some good things also occur in this novel, much to everyone’s surprise and delight. The character development as well as the plot are superior to the first book, which was itself very good. This series just keeps getting better. Emma opens her boardinghouse to the victims of a fire that struck their village. By doing so, she finds her faith questioned, her thoughts of loving others challenged and her strength wavering. Although I did not read the first of the series, this book could stand alone. There was enough background incorporated into the story that allowed me to understand what had happened without reliving it. The events seemed choppy. Not sure why... Emma's struggles bounced back and forth from possible love for a suitor, to frustration over a demanding boarder. I felt for her problems, but seemed detached from her...don't know what made the difference. Enjoyed the quick read, but wouldn't read it again. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

When tragedy befalls the village of Candlewood, Emma Garrett graciously opens the doors of her boardinghouse to those in need. But two guests prove so disagreeable, Emma wonders how she can turn the other cheek--and what will become of the rest of her guests. Adding to the turmoil are the legal problems threatening the title to her house. And when Zachary Breckenwith makes a most surprising--and troubling--announcement, Emma's once-sure foundation is in danger of crumbling. In a season of trial and uncertainty, Emma must discover anew the source of her strength. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
