I recently finished "Song in My Heart" by Kim Vogel Sawyer. In the story, the heroine, Sadie, comes from a very loving family. Her family isn't wealthy and because of an accident making her father unable to work, she answers an advertisement to help in a western mercantile and possibly sing in an opera house. When she arrives, the opera house isn't quite what she expected. Meanwhile, Thad arrives in town to investigate rumors of bootlegging.I do enjoy historical fiction, and I have been a fan of Kim Vogel Sawyer's books. I believe that I have read everything she has published. This is a fun story, with a little bit of western action. However, in my opinion, it isn't one of her better stories. The story seemed a little far fetched to me. I don't want to give any spoilers, but it just didn't seem like quite a plausible story. But it was a fun clean little romance, and an enjoyable read. I would recommend it to someone looking for a light summer read.

Thanks to Bethany House for providing this copy for review. My opinions are my own. ;)
I agree with you. I read the book a while back and although I usually really enjoy her books, this one was not the best. We have such a great library in the rural community where I now live, but am moving away from here back into the city. I will miss the library here because they have all the books by Christian authors labeled "Christian." Love that. Occasionally I have found one that was mislabeled and they're always so happy to know so the Christian label can be removed.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your's sounds like such a neat library! I'm sure you will miss it! I actually work at a local church library (very much) part time. It's a wonderful ministry to be able to provide good books to those (like me) who couldn't afford to support their reading habit! ;) Hopefully you can request good books at your new library!
