Heart of the Country Book Review

Heart of the Country written by Rene Gutteridge & John Ward.  

Faith and Luke Carraday have it all.  Faith is a beautiful singer turned socialite while Luke is an up-and-coming businessman.  After taking his inheritance from his father’s stable, lucrative business to invest in a successful hedge fund with the Michov Brothers, he’s on the fast track as a rising young executive, and Faith is settling comfortably into her role as his wife.

When rumors of the Michovs’ involvement in a Ponzi scheme reach Faith, she turns to Luke for confirmation, and he assures her that all is well.  But when Luke is arrested, Faith can’t understand why he would lie to her, and she runs home to the farm and the family she turned her back on years ago.  Meanwhile, Luke is forced to turn to his own family for help as he desperately tries to untangle himself from his mistakes.  Can two prodigals return to families they abandoned, and will those families find the grace to forgive and forget?  Will a marriage survive betrayal when there is nowhere to run but home?
 
I really enjoyed this read.  Life can be a struggle and it's hard to keep moving forward.  I enjoy inspirational stories of love and faith.
