Loving Leah by Lynne Larson Blog Tour & Giveaway!

Book Summary:

“Promise me, Ethan, no matter what, you must stay here! You can’t make a sound! Promise me you won’t!”

Caught in the middle of a massacre in Lawrence, Kansas, during the Civil War, Leah Donaldson, a twenty-year-old Mormon governess, must risk everything to save two children in her care—and she lives to pay dearly for the decision. Young Ethan Pace loves Leah and can hardly stay still as she is taken away by the enemy for refusing to reveal where he and his sister are hiding.

Five years later, Ethan desperately searches for her, trying to reconcile all that has happened and grappling with his feelings for her. Still idealizing Leah, he hopes she has survived and that he can help her get to Zion and her people. But after everything she’s been through since they last met, will Leah overcome her regrets and allow love into her life? Will she come to see Ethan as the caring man he has become rather than the lovesick boy she once knew?

My Review:

Loving Leah

Overall I think this is a nice read. While I enjoyed the premise of the book, I felt like
the main character Ethan, who was a fourteen year old boy, acted much younger
than a normal fourteen year old would. His character acted more like an 8-10 year old
and it really bothered me. However, the pace of the story was just right,it kept my
attention and held it to the end. While it was hard for me to stomach the massacre
others may not have that problem. I was really kind of sad at the end, it was not the
resolution I was hoping for! Yet this is still a powerful story that shows true courage
and faith in the face of evil. It is worth the time to read it!

Happy Reading!!!
