1830s London is rich with promise. And fraught with peril. Rachel Dunne and James Edmunds are about to discover that love is too. Rachel Dunne has always been a healer... until she’s accused of causing the death of a child under her care. Acquitted but shunned, she flees Ireland in search of a new life, convinced that she’ll be fine so long as no one in London learns of her disgrace—or forces her to ever sit at another sickbed. Physician James Edmunds has endured the loss of too many patients—the death of his wife the greatest blow of all. Deep in his grief, and no longer certain that God can be trusted, he decides the time has come to abandon his practice and run his family’s small farm. Alone. Though when he’s drawn to the intriguing Irish woman who has recently joined his household, he begins to reconsider his well-laid plans. Then cholera sweeps through London, and the life of James’s young daughter hangs in the balance. Can Rachel and James overcome their innermost fears and regain their faith? Or is it too late for trust and love to heal their hearts?

"This novel combined godly values and teachings with romance, mystery, and suspense. Nancy Herriman's first novel. I loved it!! I can't wait for her second one to come out in a few months!"
— Laura (5 out of 5 stars)
“Vivid characters, tender romance, and enduring themes…A perfect read.”
— Margaret Brownley, bestselling author" This book was disappointing. Very disappointing. I was really looking forward to it and I felt like I was reading a harlequin romance... I'm glad I only paid 1.99 for it "
— Christine, 1/26/2014" I would have given 4 stars but I felt like the end was wrapped up too quickly. "
— Haley, 1/19/2014" It was a simple read that was charming, however I feel like the summary/awards it was given were a little misleading. The book jacket seemed to imply more mystery than the book actually contained. All in all, it was a good book for reading during my weekend trips in and out of airports due to it's lovable main character and strong writing, but it was a little predictable. "
— Fal, 12/31/2013" A bit too predictable and bland for my liking. For being Christian literature, didn't overuse religion in the book, but I was able to skim a very large part of it and still follow the story. "
— Naomi, 12/23/2013" I had a hard time paying attention to this book. It just didn't hold my attention. "
— Valerie, 12/11/2013" I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It just felt like it wasn't completely developed. I think it was a great idea, but it fell short in execution. Overall, it was alright. "
— Apryl, 1/1/2013" Somewhat average at first, seemingly like any other Christian Historical Romance, but as you go there is quite a depth and some twists and turns. "
— Omi, 9/24/2012" Very enjoyable read. It was a nice change from the inspirational romance pioneering books I usually read. I would certainly recommend it. "
