Hearts Made Whole
Can she forgive the hurting man who costs her the role she loves?
After her father’s death, Caroline Taylor has grown confident running the Windmill Point Lighthouse. But in 1865 Michigan, women aren’t supposed to have such roles, so it’s only a matter of time before the lighthouse inspector appoints a new keeper–even though Caroline has nowhere else to go and no other job available to her.
Ryan Chambers is a Civil War veteran still haunted by the horrors of battle. He’s secured the position of lighthouse keeper mostly for the isolation–the chance to hide from his past is appealing. He’s not expecting the current keeper to be a feisty and beautiful woman who’s angry with him for taking her job and for his inability to properly run the light. When his failings endanger others, he and Caroline realize he’s in no shape to run the lighthouse, but he’s unwilling to let anyone close enough to help. Caroline feels drawn to this wounded soul, but with both of them relying on that single position, can they look past their loss to a future filled with hope…and possibly love?
MY REVIEW-Wowsa! This was an exciting and totally enjoyable book that I thoroughly loved. Hearts Made Whole is a historical novel filled with facts but in a fun way. The plot is what drew me first, other than knowing that the author tells history like none other out there, and I have to say it was well written. A young woman on hew own trying to take care of 4 siblings and a lighthouse makes for a good story. And Jody Hedlund does not disappoint. When Ryan and Caroline first meet, I had to laugh. Just imagining the weary soldier falling into bed, only to wake up by being bashed in the head with a pillow:) You will be laughing out loud, believe me. I felt so badly for both of the main characters. They are tired and worn out at a young age and both are fighting battles and struggles. Which makes them excellent for each other. Again, you won't be disappointed by this book if you love a good historical.
