Goes Well With: Ask the waiter for the special.
Set in rural 1930s Virginia, Keeper of my Heart, by Therese Travis, is a sweet, uplifting romance, in which two wounded souls venture back into the world and find unexpected love.
Rebecca’s eyes don’t focus too well, and her heart hides a mystery. But Thomas, waiter at the small town’s classiest eating place, sees more than he lets on when he asks her to share a table with a handsome visitor.
Veterinarian Adam McCormack decides to try the house special on Rebecca’s recommendation. Perhaps if he hadn’t insisted on praying before his meal, Rebecca wouldn’t have felt so uncomfortable, but perhaps her heart’s not ready for any man’s healing.
Events move quickly in the small town of Haven Falls, and Adam’s brief visit seems set to turn into something more as he considers settling down. Meanwhile, Rebecca seeks corrective lenses for her eyes, and God offers them for heart and soul as well.
Keeper of my Heart is a delightful story, leaving the reader feeling content and refreshed. Perhaps we all need to wear new glasses sometimes, and sharing Rebecca and Adam’s tale is a happy place to find them.
