Em orphaned and alone ends being brought the
Azure Springs by kind strangers after being shot and left for dead. It's Azure
Spring's Sheriff Caleb Reynolds must figure out who she is and rather or not
she's a danger to the town.
What Em finds in town is to hard to believe; a place
to belong. But Eliza a young woman who is jealous of the attention that Em is
getting from a young suitor does everything in her power to make Em feel
uncomfortable, uncomfortable enough to want to leave.
The Hope of Azure Springs is a debut novel from Rachel Fordham and I
hope it won't be the last. The title of the book says it when it
comes to what the book is about; its about hope and learning to trust the One
who can give the ultimate hope. Both Em and Caleb her two
scared individuals rather physical or emotional scars running from the
pains of the past.
I enjoyed that while there was a bit of a romance in
the story the novel didn't give all of its focus to it, but also focused
on the friendships and family relationships in the town. I enjoyed the
way that the novel came full circle with the ending. I look forward to
future books by Rachel Fordham.
I received a copy of this book from the
publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All
opinions expressed are mine alone.
