Howdy, y'all! Crystal here and I just literally finished reading Jody Hedlund's newest release,
With You Always. If y'all haven't figured it out yet, I've become a Jody Hedlund fan. She writes stories with such wonderfully thought-out plots, deeply fleshed out characters, and a Biblical message to boot---what's not to enjoy, right? 🙂
This first full length novel in her Orphan Train series is just another example of that. With both her parents dead and multiple siblings to provide for, Elise Neumann has more problems and hardships than you can shake a stick at, and Thornton Quincy, son of a dying railroad tycoon, has been thrown into a competition against his twin brother that has the ability to affect the rest of his life.
The year 1857 comes to life in the pages of
With You Always and reminds you of the realities many women and men faced during that era. With a wonderful love story woven into the lines, this story demonstrates the power of love to heal, to encourage, and to help us become a better version of ourselves.
You'll definitely want to read
With You Always by Jody Hedlund, and if you haven't read the novella that kick-started the series,
An Awakened Heart is currently free on Kindle
here. Snag your copies of both today!
Award-winning author, born-n-raised Texan, and member of American Christian Fiction Writers, Crystal L Barnes is the culprit behind the Marriage & Mayhem series and more. Accused of being quite the character at times, Crystal has performed in several plays, loves to sing Southern Gospel, and contributes to her church's worship team on a regular basis. When she's not writing, reading, or singing, Crystal enjoys exploring on road-trips, spending time with family, and watching old movies/sitcoms. I Love Lucy
and Little House on the Prairie
are two of her favorites. Find out more and connect with Crystal at www.crystal-barnes.com. Also find her on Amazon, Goodreads, Pinterest, Google+ or on Facebook.
