This is the third and, as far as I know, last book in the Irish Brides series. I was really excited to find out how Nora's story turned out but rather disappointed by this book. I had already guessed the identity of baby Grace's mother from book two and that was the big mystery in this book (if you hadn't guessed then this book would likely be nicer for you than it was for me). The other drama was mostly emotional. I liked all of the main characters and most of the side characters. I was glad for the happy ending and inspired by some of the prayers.

People who like sweet, historical, Christian romances.

Nora's devotion to baby Grace, her opening up to help from her sisters and the elderly couple that shared her house, updates on her sisters' lives. The message of hope and growth.

Unfortunately, the romance and plot were a bit flat for me. Particularly when compared to the exciting and sometimes hilarious first novel in this series, this one just didn't compare. If I had read it on its own without the first two I guess I might have liked it more (But I don't know that I would have been even interested in it, were it not part of the series I already liked).

Read a more exciting book.

It did inspire me to pray a bit during the reading, which is nice. So it must have made me feel a little closer to the Lord.

From Amazon: "Winnie Griggs grew up in south Louisiana in an undeveloped area her schoolmates considered the very back of beyond. With her two younger siblings and another family of three siblings for playmates, she spent many an hour exploring the overgrown land around her home, cutting jungle trails, building forts and frontier camps, and looking for pirate ships on the nearby bayou.

Once she 'grew up' she found other outlets for dealing with all those wonderful, adventurous, imaginary friends by filling notebooks with their stories. And somewhere along the way, those scribblings gave way to full length books.

Eventually she found her own Prince Charming, a rancher whose white steed takes the form of a tractor and whose kingdom is situated in a small rural community that she loves to call home, and together they've built their own storybook happily-ever-after. Their lives together expanded to include four now grown children who share Winnie's vivid imagination and her husband's steadier influences and are now out in the world pursuing their own adventures.
