The Brickmaker’s Bride
By Judith Miller
Ewan McKay is excited to start a
new life in America and eager to earn the partnership his uncle has promised
him in their new brickyard business.
Ewan is also anxious to bring his sisters over from Ireland so he can be
the proper caretaker that they need.
But, Ewan’s uncle has a propensity for making poor decisions with money
– including gambling and catering to his wife’s every fancy as she strives to
fit into proper society. When his uncle
puts their livelihood at stake in a bad business deal, Ewan feels that his
hopes for a new start in America are at an end.
The one person who might be able to salvage the business is the former
brickyard owner’s daughter who has spent much time trying to help Ewan get the
brickyard running and profitable. Can
the beautiful Laura Woodfield help Ewan save the brickyard, and can he win her
heart in the process?
I have enjoyed many books by
Judith Miller, and this was no exception.
The characters were well sketched.
Ewan seemed to be a man of great character stuck in a bad
situation. We can see how his faith
carries him through the hardships he encounters. I thought the book was well written and
engaging. Overall I give it an A –
another good clean Christian fiction read.
I received a free copy of this
book from Bethany House publishers in exchange for my honest review.
