Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Can the Young Man Who Once Broke Her Heart
Be Trusted Again With Her Love?

Love is in the air. You will sense it as soon as you arrive in Gresham. As the wedding of Julia Hollis and Vicar Andrew Phelps approaches, the quaint English village is caught up in a stir of excitement and the promise of an event to remember.

Andrew's daughter Elizabeth is being courted by a handsome young curate. But while she is considering his offer of marriage, the man she once loved suddenly appears at her door, wanting to prove he has changed and is now worthy of her affection. A cloud of uncertainty surrounds her as she seeks to know her own heart.

Lovely, kindhearted Mercy Sanders isn't allowed to be courted in a normal fashion. You will be as stunned as she at the advice she is given on how to win the heart of Gresham's newest resident.

Even the eccentric bachelor Squire Bartley is smitten by love, and his bumbling attempts at courting will bring a smile. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Written!, December 2, 2000
This review is from: The Courtship of the Vicar's Daughter (The Gresham Chronicles, Book 2) (Paperback)
This 2nd book in THE GRESHAM CHRONICLES is full of life and vitality. Though it may seem at first kind of like a soap opera it's anything but! Julia Hollis and Andrew Phelps are busy preparing for their wedding. Julia is also sending her eldest child, Philip to secondary school. Will he be able to handle all the pranks and taunts of his fellow students? Mercy Sanders has been living with her family's reputation for a long time. Will she ever escape to find love? She is stunned at the advice given to her to win the heart of Gresham's newest resident and his adopted son. Elizabeth Phelps, Andrew's eldest daughter is wrestling with her decision to marry Paul Treves. But Jonathan Raleigh appears and turns her world upside down. Will she follow her heart to find her true love? Will the grumpy old Squire Bartley find love? This book is full of humour that creeps upon you. I heartily recommend this book for anyone who likes a good fireside read. Great story by Lawana Blackwell!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written, wonderful character development., May 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Courtship of the Vicar's Daughter (The Gresham Chronicles, Book 2) (Paperback)
As with her first in the Gresham Chronicles, Lawana Balckwell keeps your attention and satisfies your questions! I enjoy how she weaves the characters lives together and how she flows smoothly from one scene to another. She keeps all the characters fresh in your mind...no going back to see "now who was that?", and doesn't dwell so long on one scene or charatcer that you lose intest in another. Great job of creating strong characters who compliment not compete againt each other. Can't wait for number 3!

Reading this book is like reading a letter fromhome. Ms. Blackwell really makes you feel attachedto her characters and you can't wait to see whathappens to them next. She also expertly weavesthe message of God's love and grace to us throughout the story. I am so glad to have found anotherauthor to read and am looking forward to Book 3in the series.
