In her novella A Daughter’s Quest, author Lena Nelson Dooley carries you to nineteenth century Iowa, a place where summer breezes sweep over flower-strewn hills, where wagon wheels sigh along the road on a Saturday afternoon. It is a place where a young woman could almost forget the difficult promise she made to her dying father. After burying her father in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, the only home she has ever known, Constance Miller journeys to Browning City, Iowa to search for a friend of her father’s from the war. She is to give the man, Jim Mitchell, a message: Return the stolen shipment of Yankee gold, and accept God’s forgiveness and love. Constance’s quest to find Jim Mitchell is even more difficult than she imagined, and now Browning City’s handsome blacksmith, Hans Van de Keift, who has come to her aid more than once, has made it his place to keep her out of trouble. Constance must carry out her father’s last request, but there is also a tug in her heart, one that tells her there may be another, special, reason God brought her to this place. Sweet and romantic, A Daughter’s Quest had me wishing I could travel back in time to experience the warmth of simple good-hearted people, and feel stirrings of young love during a picnic in the shade of a tree. This is a light, entertaining story, one that you moms will be comfortable to share with your daughters. Publisher: Heartsong Presents |
