He’s determined to be his own man and make his own way. 

Will stubbornness keep them from discovering God’s best? 

Unconventional Katie empathizes with the widows and orphans of the Civil War who are searching for a place to call home in Shumard Oak Bend. But with no one to help her, she’ll need to do it secretly, a challenge she readily accepts. Katie’s taken charge before, and she’ll do it again, no matter whom she has to outwit to get the job done. 

Hans vows to stop doing everyone else’s bidding. But he follows orders when a pair of emerald green eyes, blazing red hair, and freckles that dance on the bridge of a pert nose conscript him to duty. Be his own man. Who is he kidding? Skunks don’t change their stripes. They leave disasters in their wake wherever they go, just like him. 

Overcoming personal obstacles and finding your true self doesn’t mean going it alone. Yet the answer isn’t always in the one you seek. 

True Christian Fiction. Relatable Characters. Life-changing stories.

My Thoughts on the Book

5 star rating

Kathleen Murphy living with Aunt Aideen, helps her run the boarding house. After the war, there are a lot of widows and orphans, and her calling seems to be to help them despite the laws against it. Her dream is to open an Orphanage. Hans Korhonen, a young man hardened by the suffering of the war and helping with the injured, is confused, feels displaced and plagued by nightmares, and feels God has abandoned him.

This is a beautiful but heartbreaking story about redemption and finding God's plan for your life, even though it comes with tough choices. The characters are well-developed and diverse, and all bring their sense of belonging and wisdom to the story. I enjoyed them all.

Another great read from the author. Highly recommended. I received a complimentary copy from the author and voluntarily choose to review it. All opinions are my own.
