In Kristi Ann Hunter's
"Legacy of Love," Sarah Gooding never suspected returning a brooch to an
elderly woman would lead to a job . . . and introduce her to the
woman's grandson, a man far above her station.
In Karen
Witemeyer's "Gift of the Heart," widow Ruth Albright uses the family
brooch as collateral for a loan from the local banker. But the more she
comes to know the man behind the stern businessman, the more she hopes
for a second chance at love.
In Sarah Loudin Thomas's "A Shot at
Love," Fleeta Brady's rough-and-tumble childhood means she prefers
hunting to more feminine activities. She never expected her family's
brooch might be how a fellow hunter turns her attention from competition
to romance.
In Becky Wade's "Because of You," Maddie Winslow has
spent years in love with a man whose heart was already spoken for. When
a church Christmas project brings them together and she stumbles upon
an old family brooch, might it finally be her turn for love?

I’m a Christian, wife,
fundraiser and writer living near Asheville, NC. I grew up on a 100-acre
farm in French Creek, WV. I used to say “rural WV,” but realized that’s
largely redundant. I LOVE my home state and the fact that I’m the
seventh generation to grow up on the family farm. My love of the
Appalachian Mountains informs my writing. I want you to be as wild about
these hazy, blue mountains and the wonderful people who live in them as
I am.
I’ve been married for eighteen years and I not only love
my husband, I really, really like him. We started our journey together
with three big dogs–Crockett, Precious and Sammy. We now have one small
dog that requires more energy than the first three did together.
During her childhood in
California, Becky frequently produced homemade plays starring her
sisters, friends, and cousins. These plays almost always featured a
heroine, a prince, and a love story with a happy ending. She's been a
fan of all things romantic ever since.
Becky and her husband
lived overseas in the Caribbean and Australia before settling in Dallas,
Texas. It was during her years abroad that Becky's passion for reading
turned into a passion for writing. She published three historical
romances with Avon Books, then put her career on hold for several years
to care for her three kids, then recently returned to writing sheerly
for the love of it. She felt led to move to the genre of contemporary
Christian romance and couldn’t be more thrilled with it.
These
days Becky can be found failing but trying to keep up with her
housework, sweating at the gym, carting her kids around town, playing
tennis, hunched over her computer, eating chocolate, or collapsed on the
sofa watching TV with her husband.
My Review
I enjoyed this read that actually spans centuries, and is centered around a family heirloom.
Each
author tells their own story and pulls us in with how they obtained
this stunning piece, and true love is associated with the owner. Each
mother in turn passes this broach on to their daughter.
These
novellas also include the Christmas season, something for everyone, each
a quick sweet read that compelled me to move to the next, and moving
from the early 1800’s to modern day, all with the love of God and
following Him.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
