I picked this up one weekend, really not sure what to expect, not having read a Jill Marie Landis book before. Then--bam! I was hooked. When characters are out of the norm for Christian fiction, I'm all for it. The heroine's struggle to overcome her past, and the questions she had about God because of it, are relatable to so many people. Good read for those of you who enjoy historical fiction!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
ABOUT THE BOOK
When Reverend Brand McCormick comes calling, Laura does all she can to discourage him as a suitor. She knows that if her past were discovered, Brand’s reputation would be ruined. But it’d not only Laura’s past that threatens to bring Brand down─it’s also his own.
When a stranger in town threatens to reveal too many secrets, Laura is faced with a heartbreaking choice: Should she leave Glory forever and save Brand’s future? Or is it worth risking his name─and her heart─by telling him the truth?

I'm hooked from the blurb! Wow! Thanks Georgiana for the recommendation.
Interesting how when the market changed, Landis changed too, moving to Western Romances. Being tuned in to the markets is so important.
I started this but thought it was just another historical romance. Should I give it another chance? Why are the characters "out of the norm?"
"out of the norm" certainly has me intrigued. I might just have to see if our library has this one.
The heroine does not have your typical CBA backstory. I definitely don't want to give away too much, but I like the way it was handled, and the problems it presented for the heroine in the present. I also loved how the hero and heroine's love for one another is what kept them apart. You'll have to see for yourself :D
