And will she ever reach the secret places of her husband's broken heart?
"This debut novel will pull you into love and loss, then sweep you across the English sea to the rolling landscapes of Long
Island. Be prepared to have your heartstrings plucked to the music of God's song of love in sickness and in health, and in
times of richness and want. A Place in His Heart is a satisfying and compelling historical romance sure to win fans early

This was one of those stories that are sad, yet sweet at the same time. I felt so bad for
the kids, and am blessed that I still have my mom. As the story went on I was so happy
for Barnabas. Not many people get to fall in love twice. However he was still living in
the past, and he was not ready to open his heart to another woman. I can definitely
understand why he was protective of his heart, and I kept hoping that he would realize
his feelings for Mary. Mary left everything she knew to cross the ocean and come to
America to be a mom to his children. This story is also based on the author's ancestors
that also came across an ocean to America. The ending was very nice and I hope the
author follows up with a sequel about this family. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given
a copy to review from Revell, however all opinions are my own.
