Book Review and Giveaway: Song of My Heart

About the book

Sadie Wagner has always been devoted to her family. So when her stepfather is injured and can't work, she decides to leave home and accept a position as a clerk at the mercantile in Goldtree, Kansas. Goldtree also offers the opportunity to use her God-given singing talent--though the promised opera house is far different from what she imagined. With her family needing every cent she can provide, Sadie will do anything to keep her job.

McKane comes to Goldtree at the request of the town council. The town has been plagued by bootlegging operations, and Thad believes he can find the culprit. 

After he earns enough money doing sheriff work, he wants to use it to pay for his training to become a minister.

Thad is immediately attracted to the beautiful singer who performs in Asa Baxter's unusual opera house, but when he hears her practicing bawdy tunes, he begins to wonder if she's far less innocent than she seems. And when Sadie appears to be part of the very crimes he's come to investigate, is there any hope the love blossoming between them will survive?

My thoughts

I very much enjoyed this book  and seeing the relationship between Thad and Sadie grow.  There is also a relationship between Sadie and her cousin that is important, but I struggled with his crush-like love for her.  I did not feel it really added to the story and in the end, his feelings  just kind of mysteriously resolved.  The biggest issue Sadie faces in this book is learning to trust God, but once she does, she trusts Him completely.  

I recommend this book to those who enjoy a good love story or stories about people learning to trust in God's providence.
