Tamera Alexander NEVER disappoints! She's a master story teller. You'll be intrigued on the first page and eagerly turn page after page till the last page. I have read every book of hers and can't wait till she writes the next one. Alexander takes an often unknown historical nugget and turns it into a lovely story filled with God's grace and many spiritual truths. At the same time the tale she weaves is full of romance, mystery, interesting historical facts, vibrant, complicated characters and flavors of the culture and times. This particular book deals with the etiquette of what was considered proper for women in the 1870s. The focus is on women playing on a public stage. She also delves into the predjudice of class distinctions. As the main characters, Rebekah and Tate face personal challenges they are confronted with their own versions of faith or lack thereof and what it means to follow God with their whole heart. Dreams and ambitious goals are fought for and then realigned to God's will. First impressions are shockingly not always what is truth as they get to know each other better and see what is really important in life. This book was marvelous!
I received this book from the publishers and was not required to write a positive review.
