A Touch Of Grace

Grace loves her hometown of Blessing. She is the level headed twin where as her sister Sophie is the wanderer and dreamer. There is one thing about Grace that her family has disapproved of and that is the crush she has on Toby Valders.

Jonathan is from the city. His father has sent him to Blessing to learn the value of hard work. No one is as surprised as Jonathan himself when he enjoys his labor on the farm…and his affection for Grace.

Now Grace finds herself in a quandary. Who would be she be better suited with; the city-boy turn nature lover, Jonathan, or the home grown, bit of a bad boy, Toby?

This reader missed the first book in The Daughters Of Blessing Series titled A Promise For Ellie. However I did have the pleasure of reading and reviewing the second book, Sophie's Dilemma. These books are stand alone, however you will understand more of secondary characters should you read the previous books.

A TOUCH OF GRACE is the tale of Grace Knutson. Grace is a delightful and proper young woman who has never dreamed of more than her own back yard. Maybe it has to do with the fact that she is deaf. Or maybe she is just a home body. This reviewer can relate to the latter. Grace is one of those characters that will warm the reader’s heart, as is Jonathan. He has grown up privileged and his father wants to give him a taste of how the other half lives. And Jonathan soon learns he loves nature and the hard work on the farm. Almost as much as he loves Grace. But can he give up his dream of college and life in the city?

Lauraine Snelling has a talented pen. Her prose flows smoothly and her characters come to life within the pages of her stories. This reader looks forward to reading many more offerings from Ms Snelling. There are many more characters in The Daughters Of Blessing Series and hopes that soon Ms Snelling will be putting pen to paper in creating another wonderful story from Blessing.
