As a battered wife, Emma Malloy flees the only home she has known, Dublin, Ireland, to relocate in the Irish district of Boston, Massachusetts, in the New World with new opportunities and safety.
This is a second book in the series Winds of Change. I have not read the first book, A Hope Undaunted. The cover drew me as I constantly saw it displayed. I knew I would like Emma by the tilt of her head and the yellow roses she holds in her hands. My favorite, yellow roses.
I really liked this book, especially when I got to page 58 and read,
"Casey Miranda Herringshaw!" Emma folded her arms in the pretense of shocked disapproval, doing her best to bite back a smile. "What would your mother say?"So many wonderful Irish names: Patrick, Sean, Rose, Kathleen, Collin, Clare; what's not to like? I felt right at home among them. My favorite character was Sean, the proclaimed bachelor son babied by his sisters and mother and teased by his brothers-in-law. He was the hero, the protected, unaware guy that made you wonder how he got through life on his own. The only thing missing was soda bread and a recipe. It was fun to live life with this family and their adopted friend Emma.
Enjoy reading A Heart Revealed. I especially liked the last page, but don't turn there first! Enjoy the whole story as it progresses. You'll be glad you waited.

HAhahahaha! Thanks Kathleen. ;-) No bias withstanding, wasn't this book AWESOME! I seriously loved and not for obvious reasons. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteDid you read "The Daughters of Boston" series? They were the first three novels that introduced the O'Connor family. I'm not sure why Julie broke it up into "two" series, because they all go together. This was a perfect end to the series. I loved all of them. The O'Connors were fantastic and I was thrilled when Emma's story was finally told.
