Hearts Made Whole
Jody Hedlund can always be counted on to write riveting
reads, and Hearts Made Whole is no
exception. Taking the two love interests
both with unimaginable personal lost and throw in the hero battling opium and
alcohol and you have a heart wrenching tale.
Taking place soon after the Civil
War, Caroline Taylor has become the keeper of the Windmill Point Lighthouse in
Michigan due to the unforeseen sudden death of her father. Now she must be the sole provider for her
younger two sisters and two brothers.
However, Caroline lives in a world before women’s rights and is told she
will be replaced by a returning war veteran by the name of Ryan Chambers. Ryan is not a whole man and lives with the
disfigurement the war brought on not only physically but emotionally and
spiritually as well. Seeing that his
addictions are crippling him to the point that he cannot perform his light keeper
duties, he and Caroline make a pact.
Basically for her to become his assistant and she and her family will
remain living at the lighthouse cottage.
There is an evil however that stalks Caroline and wants her
out of the lighthouse for good no matter what the cost. As Ryan and Caroline begin to fall in love with each
other they are buffeted by storms on all sides.
Just when you think they are so close to their well-deserved HEA, Ms.
Hedlund throws in a plot twist that literally felt like it bruised my
heart. Oh! The angst of it all! Read
this book if you must know. I so look
forward to the next in the Beacons of Hope series.
I received a copy for an honest review from The Book Club
Network, Inc. and the opinions are my own.
