I won this is some contest, it's not something I would normally read, Christian Fiction. But it was such a pretty book I decided to give it a try. (It is a beautiful book) I did and was surprised at how enjoyable it is. It was a very romantic tale of love and friendship. It dealt with anger, lies, mistrusts and greed. The treatment of such negative forces was very interesting to read. I expected it to be 'preachy' but found that not to be the case. Yes, it had it's moments of sharing the word. I muddled through those and found myself thinking of new ways to handle difficult situations. It goes beyond a religious read, it does dig deep into moral character. Mr. Phillips is a great story teller. 3.5 stars The is a beautiful novel written in a similar manner to those of Louisa May Alcott in that it creates in the reader the desire to live a better life with a closer walk with the Lord. On his deathbed, Percy Drummond’s uncle requests that Percy attempt to locate his never acknowledged first born child from Ireland. Since the location of the heir will change the current lineage, Percy takes on the task while his wedding plans fall apart, and his cousin threatens Percy’s aunt. This story is heart wrenching and beautiful, running the gamut of emotions. I loved it. This is the first Michael Phillips novel that I have read, and I will definitely look for all his others. I would recommend this for people who enjoy a novel that captures their hearts and strives to lift them up while it weaves a beautiful story.

I've had this book on my shelf for awhile now, I pulled it off to read after reading another Historical Fiction novel since I was in the mood to read more. It was an interesting book, but I was slightly lost since I hadn't read the first book in the series. It is a Christian work of fiction and takes place in the Snowdonia region of Wales. It is based around a family and the characters are really well written, I really suggest it for those who enjoy Christian Historical Fiction. Just make sure to read the first book in the series before tackling this one.
