Book description: "At the age of twenty-three, postmistress Grace Cristler has all but given up hope of finding a husband among the narrowing group of eligible men in her town of Fairland, Kansas. But when her uncle decides to retire from the pulpit, Grace is responsible for corresponding with the new preacher set to take his place. She can’t deny the affection growing in her heart for Reverend Rufus Dille—a man she deeply admires but has only met through his letters.
Theophil Garrison is on the run from his past. Ten years ago his outlaw cousins convinced him to take part in a train robbery, but Theo fled the scene, leaving his cousins to face imprisonment. Now they’ve finished their sentences, but the plan for vengeance has just begun. Branded a coward and running for his life, Theo has a chance encounter that could provide him with the escape he needs.
But the young man’s desperate con might come at an enormous price for the tenderhearted Grace—and the entire town. Will Grace’s undeserved affection and God’s mercy make something beautiful from the ashes of Theo’s past?"
My review: I loved the idea that was implied in the description and knew that I had to read this book! It was exactly as I expected and made for a great plot. I don't want to include any spoilers in this review, but I will say that this is a book that will keep you turning pages and even chuckling some as you go. Grace is a bit unrealistic at times, but in this case it just seems to add to the story and make her even more lovable. The sub plot adds a whole other dimension to the book as well that compliments the rest of the story. This is a book I highly recommend! I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
