With her father recently deceased, and her mother ailing, Molly's not far off the mark. If she can't keep their farm profitable, her mother wants her to marry Mervin Mosier to solve their financial problems. Then Molly meets handsome horse trainer Leon Fisher, who has come from Montana to Pennsylvania to work with a horse breeder--and not incidentally to find a bride.
Molly jumps into full "control" mode to arrange things so that Mervin will fall in love with someone else, and Leon won't want to go home to Montana. But the harder she tries to manipulate the lives around her, the more her plans fail. Readers will find the book hard to put down. Will Molly ever give up control and wait to see what God has planned for her? Or will she control herself into a lonely spinsterhood?
On a personal note, reading Minding Molly was a bit of a nudge for me, since I, too, have always identified with Martha in the Mary and Martha story in the Bible. Minding Molly is a novel that will keep readers entertained as they follow Molly while she learns that "the course of true love never did run smooth."
My thanks to the author and Bethany House Publishers for my review copy of Minding Molly.

I just sat through reading your reviews on the last three books you did. Each one sounds interesting. The last one you reviewed almost sounds like the Parent Trap except it's two boys instead of twin girls.
ReplyDeleteYour last series "Sisters at Heart" was fantastic. I still have on my reading to do list to read your first series as well as your novella. It never seems like there's enough time in the day.
I also wanted to let you know that I've nominated you for the Liebster Award. You can find it here: http://kristenatunstall.com/ive-been-nominated-for-a-liebster-award/. You can choose to accept it if you like as it's optional.
