At Home in Persimmon Hollow (Persimmon Hollow Legacy #1) by Gerri Bauer

About the Book

Picture
At Home in Persimmon Hollow is the first book in a series chronicling the world of Agnes Foster and the people of
frontier-era Florida.

In 1886, Agnes Foster is forced to leave the Catholic orphanage in New York where she grew up to start a new
life as a teacher in Persimmon Hollow, Florida, a town she has only ever seen in a newspaper ad. With nothing but her strong Catholic faith to sustain her, she leaves behind the only home she’s ever known and the little girl she hopes to adopt, and encounters a wild and beautiful new landscape, and a town full of hardworking, faith-filled people. She also meets the difficult, yet handsome and hard-to-ignore Seth Taylor, a man whose heart has been hardened to God after a terrible loss.

Just as Agnes starts to feel Persimmon Hollow could be a good home for her and her daughter, and that Seth could be her love, tragedy strikes in the form of a trio of evil men from both their pasts, intent on doing them more harm. Will their fragile new love survive? Will Seth return to his faith? Can Agnes finally escape her dark past and find a bright new future?

Yes, I think so, too, Virginia. And there is so much to explore in Florida - it's a great setting for historical fiction.

This books sounds great! I really love the fact that it is a Catholic fiction. I am Catholic and even though I absolutely love reading Christian fiction with characters of other denominations, it's always special to read a about Catholic characters :D

Thanks, Samantha. That's exactly how I feel. I love reading all kinds of Christian romance, too, but there is really something special about having Catholic characters!

This book looks amazing. I absolutely love historical fiction. I'm a big fan of relatable characters in novels, and from what I've read, Agnes looks like someone I would get along with :)
