A Place in His Heart by Rebecca Demarino

She could cross an ocean, but could she ever win his heart?

Anglican Mary Langton longs to marry for love. Left at the altar and disgraced in her small hamlet, she is being pressured to marry the eligible son of the London milliner. Puritan Barnabas Horton still grieves the loss of his beloved wife, but he knows his two young sons need a mother.

With tender hearts, Mary and Barnabas take a leap of faith and wed. But when Barnabas's secret plans to move his family to the New World to escape persecution come to light, Mary's world is upended. How could she possibly leave her papa and her dear sister?

And will she ever reach the secret places of her husband's broken heart?

My Take:

I love debut authors, and Rebecca does not disappoint. Mary is determined to marry for love, as well as her father is determined she marry well. The two have a battle of the wills and I won't tell you who wins.
This is a book that touches the heart and pulls you into London, and then onto the new world. You can't go wrong with this book!
