ABOUT THE BOOK
Nothing would please her family more than her securing an admirable match, but true love and loyalty are harder to come by than she imagined.

At twenty-two, Elena Bradford has never met a man who made her consider marriage. But when her father dies and leaves the family deeply in debt, Elena becomes their only hope. Her mother uses their last funds to take Elena and her younger sister to Graham Springs, Kentucky, where people find healing by drinking the mineral spring water and healthy recreation through the many daily activities--including dances almost every evening.

As her mother schemes to find Elena a wealthy husband, Elena finds herself drawn to two men her mother would never consider. Charming artist Kirby Frazier spends his days drawing and painting the guests, but his real mission is to find a wealthy bride to finance his dream to go west. Melancholy Andrew Harper has come to Graham Springs in need of healing after a broken heart.

When a beautiful young lady shows up at the Springs with no chaperone and a story that seems suspicious, nearly everyone is charmed and intrigued. But when an unexpected tragedy occurs, Elena, Kirby, and Andrew will all be faced with decisions of life, love, and loyalty.  


REVIEW
This story took a lot for me to get into. Took me weeks to read it. I finally found myself skimming in order to get to the end. It picked up a bit and I did like the overall storyline, but I found it moved much much too slow for my liking. The faith element was good and I loved Elena. The truth factor of much of this story is very fascinating and I’d love to visit Graham Springs, Kentucky someday. If you’ve read her other books I’m sure you’d like this one as well, but for me it a was a bit of a miss.

*I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
