Gift From the Storm
by Rebekah A. Morris
Synopsis:
One cold, dark evening a young stranger appears outside the Morgan home with two small children. Injured and on the verge of complete exhaustion, she will only say that her name is “Amy.”
Where did she come from? Who is she? And what has she been through? Dr. Justin Morgan and his family look for answers as they struggle to minister life and health to the needy ones in their midst.

My Review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ & ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
5 stars & 5/10 hearts. I really enjoyed this story. I think my favourite part was how although the mystery kept teasing and baffling me and leading me on, the setting was so peaceful and happy and calm that I also kept calm. I loved the idea of singing evening hymns (my favourites) and Justin was an amazing doctor. My favourite scene was when Amy panics during the snowstorm—talk about drama! Adam was a darling, and the minor characters were interesting too. And I love the cover :)
A Favourite Quote: “‘That’s what I feel my mind is like,’ she said quietly as though to herself. ‘A large blank nothing. Only the snow sparkles when the sun shines, but my mind doesn’t. It’s just empty.’
“Coming into the dining room just then, Adam caught the girl’s troubled words. ‘The best thing to do with an empty mind is to fill it with good things.’”
A Favourite Beautiful Quote: “The grass began to turn green, and here and there brave flowers poked up their heads and looked about as though making sure winter had really gone and taken its cold blanket with it.”
A Favourite Humorous Quote: “‘[Amy] said she’d help ice and decorate the gingerbread men later.’
“‘I help too,’ Danny grinned up at Justin before popping a piece of cookie dough into his mouth. Justin laughed.
“‘Well, surely you don’t need me to taste test for you with such a willing and irrepressible taster right here.’”
