by: Vickie McDonough Dancing Word Reviewer Title: Lizzy's Hope Genre: Inspirational/Historical/Romance Though the scars of slavery still encircle his wrists and ankles, Daniel "Mo" Greene is now a free man. He has learned the scars of the heart are slower to heal than physical scars. Daniel has worked hard to put his tortuous past behind him, but one thing still holds him back--he is illiterate. When Daniel's boss offers him a promotion contingent on his learning to read, Daniel seeks out a local woman who teaches children and asks for her help. Daniel is immediately attracted to Lizzy Hunte, but he feels unworthy to voice his attraction. Lizzy has been free all her life, and she deserves someone better than him. Lizzy Hunte has never seen such a big man. At first, she's afraid of Daniel, but she soon learns his huge heart equals his large frame. The young widow and mother of four is amazed at Daniel's gentleness and his ability to learn quickly. When troubles come, Lizzy begins to lean on Daniel, but the depth of her feelings toward him disturbs her. Is she being disloyal to her first husband? Lizzy's Hope is the heart-warming tale of two wounded souls desiring to love again but afraid to step out and risk being hurt once more. Neither Lizzy nor Daniel expect the sparks they feel to fan into love, but when they do, the ghosts of their past threaten to destroy their budding romance. Lizzy's Hope makes a powerful statement of forgiveness, healing and restoration. Lynn Coleman has penned a sweet, entertaining novel in this second book about historical Key West. It will leave you feeling warm and satisfied. | ||
