From the beginning the cover of this book captured my attention. And who doesn't want to read about London and a ship ride to Africa. Sounds exciting to me!! And although this book released last year, I'm still waiting to get my hands on a copy for reivew (should be arriving in the mail soon).

About the Book

Set in Edwardian England and ideal for readers who enjoy Julie Klassen novels, this romance about an English aviation pioneer and the girl who falls in love with him is filled with adventure and faith.

Isabella Grayson, the eldest daughter of a wealthy, English newspaper magnate, longs to become a journalist, but her parents don't approve. They want her to marry well and help them gain a higher standing in society. After she writes an anonymous letter to the editor that impresses her father, her parents reluctantly agree she can write a series of articles about aviation and the race to fly across the English Channel, but only if she promises to accept a marriage proposal within the year. When James Drake, an aspiring aviator, crashes his flying machine at the Grayson's new estate, Bella is intrigued. James is determined to be the first to fly across the Channel and win the prize Mr. Grayson's newspaper is offering. He hopes it will help him secure a government contract to build airplanes and redeem a terrible family secret. James wants to win Bella's heart, but his background and lack of social standing make it unlikely her parents would approve. If he fails to achieve his dream, how will he win the love and respect he is seeking? Will Bella's faith and support help him find the strength and courage he needs when unexpected events turn their world upside down?

About the Book

It is 1906, and sixteen-year-old Stella's life in Durliosy, Poland, is bleak. Her only hope of surviving is to travel to America, a land of freedom and opportunity, and reunite with her brother in Baltimore. There she'll find new challenges, and perhaps, if she can put her painful past behind her, a new chance for love and lasting happiness.

Ever since I saw the cover of this book, I was drawn to it. Not only because this book has a cool cover, but I have enjoyed several of Heather's other books and so I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of this one! Watch for a review and author interview coming in February!

After reading Jocelyn Green's The Mark of a King, I was hooked. Not only is historical fiction my favorite genre to read, discovering Jocelyn's work was a highlight of my reading for 2017!! It was definitely a memorable and inspiring read and was definitely one of my top favorite reads of 2017!
