Happy Friday!
The book I’m featuring this week is:
Goodreads
A mischievous gust of wind whipped Tikvah’s white headscarf from its mooring.
I haven’t read this one yet, but it’s high on my TBR once I get room in my review schedule. I have a signed copy of it sitting on my end table next to me impatiently giving me the stare-down to pick it up. Connilyn Cossette’s writing is amazing so I can’t wait to dig into it 🙂
About the Book:
When Jewish sailor’s wife Tikva received word, more than a decade ago, of a family tragedy, the shock of the news sent her into premature labor, and she delivered a stillborn son. From that time until this, despite chasing after a multitude of healers’ promises and spending all she had on torturous treatments, she hasn’t been able to stop the resulting hemorrhaging. The doctor she saw today, like all the others, had given her lofty promises of a cure but turned out to be yet another charlatan. Defeated, Tikva returns home to her aged mother-in-law, who has heard tell of a miracle-working Rabbi visiting their province. Does Tikva dare hold out one last hope for healing?

Happy Friday! I’m sharing from The Outlaw’s Daughter by Margaret Brownley today. Here is the first line of chapter 16:
“The house was small and sparsely furnished but had a warm, homey feeling that filled Matt with an unfamiliar longing.”
