Heart in Hand




GIVEAWAY
CAMERON, BARBARA
HEART IN HAND

After the wedding of her cousin Naomi, knitter Anna, a widow, finds herself missing love and the closeness of a husband. She feels a special connection with her grandmother as they both struggle to go on with life.

Is Anna on the verge of finding happiness when she realizes John Esh is interested in her? Love begins to warm Anna’s heart, but will she be so afraid of losing someone that she gives up the second chance that God has provided?

My Review:

This has got to be one of the most satisfying-whoosh-of-a-contented-sigh romances that I've ever read. I just love the way the plot unfolds. This is a story that deals with loss, but it doesn't dwell on it. There's growth and hope and promise of new love on the horizon and that combination drew me in and kept me committed.

A heart-warming cast of secondary characters fills out the tale and makes me want to move close by so I can take one of Anna's knitting classes and catch up on the gossip. Heart in Hand snatched me out of a stress filled life and brought me respite and hope. You can't ask more of an author than that, can you?

    Your counted, Jody! Good luck!

    Diana, I didn't mention that this was part of a series because it reads beautifully as a stand alone however, I think you will be especially thrilled with it because you get to catch up with the heroes and heroines from the other books. Good luck!

    Good luck Tonya!

      Yes, I agree about the stand alone. I read the first one in this series quite a long time ago, and then read and reviewed the second one just last week and had no problems reading it, even tho I really couldn't remember the first one that well. Whew! That was a long sentence! lol But I think it would still be neat to read this one back to back with the one I just finished! :)
