ABOUT THE BOOK
Can forgiveness and love overcome a tattered legacy?
When dedicated philanthropist Judith Stanford receives a summons from her estranged grandfather ordering her to come to Minneapolis to prove herself worthy of his inheritance, she is hesitant but can’t ignore the potential of her grandfather’s fortune to benefit her causes. And the only man to interest her since her husband’s death lives in Minneapolis, leaving her hoping their paths will cross.
Roman Turner, a local physician with a heart for the poor, harbors a grudge against Judith’s grandfather. Years ago, his unethical actions ruined Roman’s family forever. When Roman meets Judith again, he is shocked to learn the woman he’s thought about all these years is related to the one man he can’t forgive.
As Judith tries to overcome the complicated history between the two families and disentangle her grandfather’s tainted legacy, she begins to form a plan for reparation. But when it becomes clear someone else has nefarious intentions for the money, Judith’s dreams of a new legacy are at risk.
MY THOUGHTS
Faithful of Heart is the first exciting book in the Minnesota Legacy series.
I am a longtime reader of the author’s books, and her books are auto readers for me, all of them. I can’t say I’ve found one I haven’t enjoyed.
It’s wonderful to know I can count on her books being quality written with high values for the characters and they are faith filled but it’s not overwhelming either.
Our main character shows strong values when her grandfather sends for her to come visit to get to know her when he is dying. With no heir to get his inheritance he wants to see if she is worthy of it.
She is a strong and courageous woman and volunteers to help those less fortunate including widows and children with her time and momentary donations.
A doctor who meets her. his family has tried to matchmake for him, but he’s simply not interested until he meets her. They both have the same values.
After meeting her grandfather, he tries to impress her with his wealth and social standing, but she’s not interested and stands firm in her convictions.
There’s a lot going on in this book and once again I am impressed with the authors writing and the strong morals and strength she writes into her characters.
Looking forward to the next book in this series.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

This sounds like a really good story, Deanne. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you, Carla. I love the values written into her books but they’re not preachy. I always grab her books from Netgalley as soon as I see them listed. I’ve been reading her books from the time she’s started writing.
I’ll have to see if my library has any of her books.
I love your review, I am not familiar with this author and look forward to reading this book.
Thank you, Melike. If you’re not familiar with this author, then you are in for quite a treat! She has quite an exciting, extensive backlist. I hope you enjoy. I’m now looking forward to reading the next one in this series.
