Synopsis

Mia Roper isn’t a typical nineteenth-century woman. Refusing to pass up the hard-won opportunity to prove herself as a journalist, she left Hillsdale, Michigan, hoping in vain that Ayden Goswell would follow her to Boston.When the train bringing her back for her first major story crashes in a snowstorm outside town, Mia is stranded. Not even the survival of a fellow passenger, a toddler, can ease her heart’s sudden ache at seeing Ayden, now a history professor at the local college, courting someone else.Ayden’s never gotten over the fact that the most fascinating woman he ever met chose her career over marriage…and he let her go. But marrying the department director’s daughter could at least guarantee him a permanent job. It’s a satisfactory arrangement, yet his kind, pretty bride-to-be has one simple flaw: she’s not Mia.As soon as the trains are running, Mia will be leaving again, unless she and Ayden can reconcile ambition and love—and take a leap of faith together.

I was only 50% of the way through when I recommended it to a GR friend with confidence. Collision of the Heart (2016, Waterfall Press) by Laurie Alice Eakes, is a Christian historica......more

Goodreads review by Tricia on May 17, 2018

I was really hoping this book would be good since it is set in Michigan and the audiobook is narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Angela Dawe (though the narrator seems more at home with YA books than adult books). It was good, though the plot focused more on the romance than it did on the myst......more
