![]() ![]() ![]() I can't wait to read this author's next book. I highly recommend this book for readers who love inspirational historical romance stories. The book also offers historical insight into the Orphan Train phenomenon that happened during this time-such sadness and tragedy amongst the initial hopes of those involved. The story is not just about hard times survival but it speaks to maturity and growth in understanding those around us and recognizing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and self-worth comes from within not from our appearance or circumstances around us. There are lots of fun scenes involving tree climbing, frog catching, and unintended mud baths which help to keep the pages turning. ![]() The characters are strong and engaging, with emotions and reactions that resonated well with me. Fordham has done a great job of describing this era and drawing the reader into the scenes and the lives of her characters. I love reading about life in the 'Wild West' of the 1800s-imagining what life was like back then and wondering what I would do in similar circumstances. Not much of it though' and never let go until the very satisfactory ending. This debut novel captured my heart from the very beginning where readers find Em with 'life in her. The Hope of Azure Springs is a charming historical fiction written by Rachel Fordham. ![]()
