Wow, wow, and triple wow! What a sweet romance. Boy, that Constance Miller sure gets herself into a lot of predicaments. But, Mr. hunky, aka Hans Van de Keift, the muscular, buff-to-die-for smithy, never hesitates to rescue her... and trail her. Hmmmm. How come? Yeah right. As if I'd tell. Constance has a secret that makes Hans wonder if she can be trusted. Can you guess what it is? No. Well, buy the book and find out. Oh, and what do Jim Mitchell, a mysterious dying wish, Constance, Hans, an abandoned house, stolen gold, a horse accident, splinters and broken boards all have in common? A really sweet, adventurous, romantic, intriguing, utterly fantastic story. That's what. If you haven't read A DAUGHTER'S QUEST, well I suggest you make haste and run right out and purchase it. Or, go to Heartsong Presents website and order it.
For your 411, Lena Nelson Dooley has such a delightful way with description and setting. And the characters in A DAUGHTER'S QUEST---Well, think of them this way---When the plot goes away, memorable character's stay.

A DAUGHTER’S QUEST
By Lena Nelson Dooley
Review by Tammy Barley
In her novel A Daughter’s Quest, author Lena Nelson Dooley carries you to nineteenth century Iowa, a place where summer breezes sweep over flower-strewn hills, where wagon wheels sigh along the road on a Saturday afternoon. It is a place where a young woman could almost forget the difficult promise she made to her dying father.
After burying her father in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, the only home she has ever known, Constance Miller journeys to Browning City, Iowa to search for a friend of her father’s from the war. She is to give the man, Jim Mitchell, a message: Return the stolen shipment of Yankee gold, and accept God’s forgiveness and love.
Constance’s quest to find Jim Mitchell is even more difficult than she imagined, and now Browning City’s handsome blacksmith, Hans Van de Keift, who has come to her aid more than once, has made it his place to keep her out of trouble.
Constance must carry out her father’s last request, but there is also a tug in her heart, one that tells her there may be another, special, reason God brought her to this place.
Sweet and romantic, A Daughter’s Quest had me wishing I could travel back in time to experience the warmth of simple good-hearted people, and feel stirrings of young love during a picnic in the shade of a tree.
