My Review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ & ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
4.5 stars & 5/10 hearts. This is a sweet story that I loved immediately. It had a quaint, old-fashioned flavour and the letters let drop enough for you to understand the backstory without having to be info-dumped. Paul was a dear, and I loved his gentle pointing to Christ. And Lucy was sweet. The message of this book is beautiful, and once again, Angie Thompson has proved herself an author to read and love.
A Favourite Quote: “No need to write Ned; I promise not to fret over you, as I can bring your troubles straight to the One to Whom I give my own.”
A Favourite Humorous Quote: “How could you think yourself justified in accusing a boy of stealing on account of a scar on his face and his sister’s hat? I certainly hope Mr. Morgan is more clear-headed about the matter than you seem to be!”
*I received a copy of this book from the author but I was not required to write a positive review. These are my honest opinions.*
