Eden Spencer, left standing at the altar, lives in Spencer, Texas. She runs the local library out of her home and devotes her time to various charity activities. Levi Grant, having been released from prison for murdering a man, comes to Spencer as the town’s next blacksmith. Having introduced the main characters, the reader now begins a journey of discovery. How does Eden overcome her decision not to marry? How will she handle it when she finds out the man she falls in love with has a big secret that will shake her Christian moral stance? How does Levi overcome his past mistakes and come to the full realization that he has indeed been forgiven by Father God? The reader will follow Eden and Levi through the process of learning forgiveness, acceptance and eventually to acknowledging their love for each other. Of course, any good story has supporting characters who add suspense, jealousy, laughter and love.
I found it difficult to put this book down as I was drawn into the story. I wanted to know not only about Eden and Levi, but about Duncan and Chloe. What role does the sheriff, Conrad Pratt, play in everyone’s lives? Why does he insist that Eden is to be his bride? When Eden’s father comes to visit her, what will he say about Levi, his past and his love for Eden? As the reader will soon come to realize, Karen Witemeyer based her story on the Prodigal Son parable from scripture. To quote the author: The underlying theme of this book is one of forgiveness and of learning to view others through God’s lens instead of our own. I recommend To Win Her Heart to anyone who enjoys Christian fiction.
I received this book to review for free from Bethany House.
