Book Review

I just read The Quarryman's Bride by Tracie Peterson. I thought this was a fun book. It was about a girl named Emmalyne who just weeks before her wedding, her two younger sisters die so her father refuses to let her marry because of an old family tradition: the youngest daughter cannot marry but must stay home and take care of their aging parents for the rest of their days. Emmalyne's fiance would have her blow off her parents and elope with him, and although she loves him she feels like she need to honor her parents and stay with them instead. Her family moves away and after 10 years they decide to move back. When Emmalyne and her former fiance see each other again they know that they love the felt for each other is still there, but the same obstacle as before is till there as well: her father. I enjoyed reading this book. It was a good book about a daughters loyalty to her parents and it gave an good example of different ways to deal with trials. While Emmalyne tried through it all to move closer to God, her father and fiance blamed him instead, and she was much better off for it.  The book was set in the late 1800's and is a christian novel. It was a clean easy quick read (one of my favorite kinds).

I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishing in return for an honest review. If you would like to review books follow this link: www.bethanyhouse.com/bookreviewers.
