By Dorothy Love
Published by Thomas Nelson
Book Description: Carrie Daly is a kind and beautiful young widow, her beloved husband Frank had perished during the civil war. Griff Rutledge is a Southern gentleman but he certainly not a family man, he was adventurous and mysterious, he planned to leave for Australia after collecting her debts in Hickory Ridge. Both met in an accident, in which Griff saved Carried from running down by a black colt. While Carrie didn't get along with her sister in laws and her step-nephews, she moved to a run down motel. At the mean time, Griff accepted the offer from banker Mr. Gilman to train his Thoroughbred.
Ever Since Carrie met Griff, she had thoroughly drawn to his charm and kindness. Whilst uncertain with her feeling for current 'boy friend' Nate Chastain, the latter gave up on her and married her housemate- Rosaleen( A stunningly beautiful 'con girl'). It was devastating for Carrie at first, but life moves on. Carrie was again moved back to her own barn to 'babysit' her sister in law and her two boys when Henry moved to another state for job.
Life was tough for Carrie, but when she'd eventually surrender herself to God, he seems to show her a way out...

Comments:
I enjoyed the story every much, especially the writing style. Certain parts were heart warming.When I read about how selfless Carrie was to help the in need despite her awful situation, it reminds me of someone who was as selfless and noble as her,(I miss that person)! The part where Griff's father confessed to Griff was tears jerking too. "Beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning" is an excellent say!
I rated this book 4 stars out of 5 stars since it really make my days!
