FIRST: Although this book is 4th in a series, the story can be appreciated without first reading the other three. (However, the others are excellent also.)

INTRO: Each chapter of "Child of Promise" opens with a scripture, then weaves the story to illustrate the depth of the words that appear simple. In the first chapters, Beth has two great desires - to practice medicine and to become the wife of Noah Starr, the pastor of the local Episcopal church. When Noah marries another, Beth pursues a degree in medicine. Her time studying to be a doctor leaves her bitter, hardened and emotionally scarred. Upon her return home, circumstances put Noah, now widowed, and his disabled daughter in constant contact with Beth.

ANYONE WHO READS THIS BOOK IS IN FOR A SPECIAL BLESSING! While the story line appears to be the typical romance genre, the story is far from shallow, typical, or traditional. Kathleen Morgan, the author, goes past "happy ever after" to the reality of human nature and the relationship of each of us to God, as well as each other.

THEMES: This amazing historical novel addresses "hot topics" such as women in non-traditional careers, dual career families, domestic abuse, disabilities, etc. At the same time, it deals with ageless themes such as love, loss, and anger with God.

This book could be read as a study of church relations for everyone who is a member of the clergy, married to a member of the clergy, a leader in the church, a lay person, avoids church due to the hypocrites who attend or knows someone who goes to church. In other words, this is a must read for all.

Thanks again, Kathleen Morgan, for allowing yourself to be used by God for my benefit.

I've enjoyed reading all of the books by Kathleen Morgan and this was a very good book.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series, but i was not sad that it was finished - well, not really.....i could have read more and more of this family but this book certainly left me happy knowing the story would have "continued on" - i got good closure! Kathleen Morgan has the uncanny ability to draw her readers in as if they were part of the story themselves, looking from the outside in. I have loved this series and plan to read many more of this author's books. Thanks, Kathleen!

Child of Promise (Brides of Culdee Creek, Book 4)

This book was very moving and inspiring. I enjoyed it very much. The whole series is very good.

I've read all 4 books in this series and I loved them all. With each one I felt like I was there in culdee creek. I was very sad to see the series end. This a must read for everyone.

All of the Brides of Culdee Creek were such great books to read. I really enjoyed them! I'm a preacher's daughter and Christian fiction is one of my favorite types of books to read and these were all great.

I love how they took the period when things were so different from how our world is now, and reminds us all that the Lord is always there for us know matter what trials we are going through personally, and discusses His love and how unconditional it is.

Excellent series, well written, engaging right from the beginning. I have read all 4 of the books in the series and really enjoyed each one of them immensely. If you enjoy reading Frontier time romance novels this is a great series for you.

I have read her 3 previos books and thoroughly enjoyed them. I could only find the remaining books in this series on amazon, and am very pleased with this product. I have never been dissatisfied with a purchase for amazon. You have a very satisfied and loyal customer in me. Thanks for the great service.
