Intrique. Drama. Strong female protagonist. These are the words that come to mind when describing Susan Anne Mason's second book in the "Courage to Dream" series
A Worthy Heart. Maggie Montgomery is newly arrived in America from Ireland leaving behind a broken relationship. She plans on a fresh start although her family believes this trip is only a visit with her brother, Rylan. To her surprise, and dismay, her former beau, Neill, has followered her to America. In the beginning, she tries to keep this from her family. Into this storyline, Mason weaves the story of Adam O'Leary, newly released from prison and brother-in-law to Rylan. Needless to say, Adam is attracted to Maggie but feels it is a loss cause due to his past. There are a few other family members whose stories are also woven into the main story. This is a story of forgiveness, unconditional love, and self-worth as a person.
A wonderful historical, Christian fiction that draws the reader in and keeps you wanting more. I look forward to the next installment.
I received this book free to review for Bethany House and give my honest opinion.
