A Page Turner By Karen When Blessing Brightman and Gerard Ramsey meet at a women’s suffrage meeting in Seneca Falls, they could never have believed or wanted their paths to cross again. Blessing is a widow of a difficult man whose passing made her wealthy and independent. Gerard is the spoiled, cynical son of a wealthy Bostonian gentleman. When Gerard’s cousin, Stoddard, insists that he is moving to Cincinnati to pursue Blessing’s lovely friend, Tippy, Gerard feels he must intervene. By moving to Cincinnati, Gerard is cut off from any allowance by his father and he must look for a way to make money. Having few scruples, he begins to contact investors for the building of a racetrack. His dealings often take him to the disreputable parts of town. Often he encounters Blessing there on missions of mercy trying to help women and children who have been cast aside. Frequently, he begins to find himself her protector and defender. As he gets to know the lovely Quakeress, he finds his outlook on life changing. He also begins to discover that she may be involved in some dangerous and illegal activities.Having read the author’s first book in the Quaker Brides series, I looked forward to reading this second installment. Blessing is the daughter of the heroine of the first book, Honor. This book did not disappoint. It brings up two movements that some forget were often being addressed simultaneously during that time period – the anti-slavery movement and women’s suffrage. Many of the leading abolitionists were also speaking out about women’s rights as well. This was a well researched historical fiction, bringing up important issues, but it was also an exciting can’t put down story. I always appreciate it when the author adds Historical Notes at the end of the book. This author included some very interesting facts about the city of Cincinnati. It was a very important place for runaway slaves, since if they could cross the Ohio River, they were often free from slave catchers. Therefore, there were many free blacks in Cincinnati, a fact which many in town did not appreciate. The characters were well developed and very sympathetic. This was a great read.I received this from the Book Club Network in exchange for my honest opinion.

By Nicole Olsen - confessions of a Teenage Bookworm _____________________ *My Thoughts*When I started reading Lyn's first book in this series, Honor, it did not interest me at all. Then I got to about chapter three on a long trip and I was hooked. It was the same with this one although it was more like chapter five. I was skeptical that it was going to pick up, but by the end, I was really glad I read this novel. Lyn is a wonderful writer of all things quaker and as fierce lover of civil war novels, this series had my vote from the start.One of the reasons I struggled at the beginning of the book was the male protagonist-Gerald Ramsey. He drove me crazy with some of his thoughts and opinions in the very beginning but I grew to love him as time went on and he changed. Blessing is one of my new favorite "strong women". (Yes, I even have a shelf for this on goodreads!) She was feisty and she did whatever it took to see what she believed was wrong put to justice. She didn't let her fears of what people might think of her stop her from doing what was right.A strong sense of faith and history is woven throughout the pages. You can imagine yourself walking through the streets with a sense of wonder of when things would all be over. You can understand the pain people are going through but still feel their hope that it would all come to an end.All in all, it was a wonderful book and I can't wait for the next installment! ___________________ *Audience* This book is a must read if you are into Quaker or Shaker history or if you love historical novels in civil war era time period. It would appeal to lovers of Mary Ellis and Ann H. Gabhart! ________________________ *My overall thoughts*Blessing by Lyn Cote is a Civil war era Quaker historical novel and one I thoroughly enjoyed. It took some time to get into but once I did, I loved the story and it's characters._______________ *My Rating*I give Blessing by Lyn Cote...4 1/2 stars!!*I received this book from the the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review, which I have given. All thoughts were my own and I was not compensated in any other way.http://bookreviewsforchristians.blogspot.com/2015/07/tyndale-blessing-by-lyn-cote.html

A Thinking Book By eLynda I don’t believe I have ever read a book about Quakers before, at least not one where a main character adheres to that belief system, so for that reason alone I was intrigued and wanted to read this novel. The history is fascinating, so even though the romance was a bit stilted at times, I found the book an incredible story.I had enough differences with the heroine, Blessing, that it was at times difficult to relate to her. She is very human, with strong opinions and desires warring within her. She can be obstinate and even foolish, but she is also very brave and sure of her convictions. A strong woman in a time when there weren’t very many, she fights for those who are unable to fight for themselves, and that is laudable.Gerard goes through a major transformation in this novel and we get to watch the entire process. He begins as an unlikeable, immature man, afraid of marriage because he considers it bondage; thankfully he does not remain there. Joining him on the journey can be painful but the beauty we witness more than makes up for the discomfort.I did struggle some with the women’s issues in this novel: Blessing is very involved in women’s suffrage and while that didn’t bother me, her attitudes about men and the worthlessness of love sometimes did. Given her backstory, I would say her opinions made sense, but it came across as a bit heavy handed at times. Gerard’s initial thoughts of “teach[ing] her to take her womanly place in society” also gave me pause. I realize that in the time these events took place, these might have been common thoughts, but it still startled me a bit.My favorite part of this novel was the strong spiritual component—from a Gospel presentation and testimony by Sojourner Truth , which I delighted to learn were her own words, to Blessing’s own personal faith, God is found throughout the pages of this book. Her devotion to God and dependence on Him for safety, security, and peace were inspiring and even convicting: she made me want to be a better Christian.I would recommend this book most to those interested in historical women’s issues or abolition. Yes, it is a romance, but that thread is definitely overshadowed by suffrage, inheritance laws and the injustices of slavery. This is a thinking book that challenges our ideas of what the past was like rather than glossing over unpleasant details. That’s a good thing, even if it wasn’t exactly what I was expecting when I picked up the novel.I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through The Book Club Network (bookfun.org) in exchange for this honest review. All of the opinions expressed are my own.
