A Place in His Heart by Rebecca DeMarino Book Tour and Book Review

She could cross an ocean, but could she ever win his heart?Anglican Mary Langton longs to marry for love. Left at the altar and disgraced in her small hamlet, she is being pressured to marry the eligible son of the London milliner. Puritan Barnabas Horton still grieves the loss of his beloved wife, but he knows his two young sons need a mother.

With tender hearts, Mary and Barnabas take a leap of faith and wed. But when Barnabas's secret plans to move his family to the New World to escape persecution come to light, Mary's world is upended. How could she possibly leave her papa and her dear sister?

And will she ever reach the secret places of her husband's broken heart?


"This debut novel will pull you into love and loss, then sweep you across the English sea to the rolling landscapes of Long Island. Be prepared to have your heartstrings plucked to the music of God's song of love in sickness and in health, and in times of richness and want. A Place in His Heart is a satisfying and compelling historical romance sure to win fans early for the entire series."--Jane Kirkpatrick, bestselling author of One Glorious Ambition

"A tenderly told story enriched by the author's own heritage, A Place in His Heart is sure to win readers' hearts too. Rebecca DeMarino weaves a lovely spiritual message as old and new worlds collide and love thrives amid the challenges of early America."--Laura Frantz, Christy Award finalist and author of Love's Reckoning

My review;
This is a story of love. romance, family and heartbreaking  events. Mary Langton wants to decide on her own who she will marry. She meets and marries Barnabas who has 2 children who need a mother, because his wife has died. The problem is that Barnabas is unable to accept that Mary is his love now and he must let the first wife go. They go through many trials together and Mary tries to get through to Barnabas but, will he ever really love her ?   I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishing and all opinions are my own.
