Since I started reviewing books for Booksneeze I have found myself reading books that I normally wouldn't have chosen otherwise, but most of the time I am pleasantly surprised by liking them. With "Beyond All Measure," its no different. Its a historical fiction set during 1871. I like the fact that the setting of the book was in the south shortly after the civil war, I have always enjoyed fiction and nonfiction alike set during this period and this book was excellent. The writer draws you into the story allowing you to feel as if your transported back in time. Her writing flows smoothly and the way she weaves a nice spiritual message into the story made it even better.
Ada Wentworth feels as if she has been deserted by everyone including God. She has lost everything she holds dear and finds that she must find a way to support herself. She decides she will leave Boston to go to Hickory Ridge Tn, to take a job as a ladies companion for Miss Lillian hoping to be able to return to Boston someday to open a millinery shop. When she is picked up at the train station by Miss Lillian's nephew Wyatt whom she feels drawn to.
Will Ada decide that she wants to stay in Hickory Mills, and how will the relationship between Ada and Wyatt turn out, since his dream is to go back to Texas?
If you enjoy a nice inspirational read that is set right after the civil war, that touches on the subject of racial issues, but also gives the reader romance and inspiration as well, then you won't be disappointed in this book.
I was provided a copy of this book by Booksneeze in exchange for an honest review.
