What an absolutely lovely story! If you LOVE stories filled with faith and give a clear presentation of the Gospel, you will want to read Beryl's Blessing.Beryl is a young lady who has gone through so much and my heart just ached for her. Either rejected or completely ignored, it was easy to feel sorry for her. Thankfully her governess pour Christ into Beryl in the years they were together so after the accident they were in, Beryl turned to Scripture as she'd been taught.Then there was Frederick. The darkness he battled was palpable. Having been in the war, it was easy to believe it was PTSD. His own sense of worthlessness and that "tiny" voice telling him that over and over was very powerful.
The journey of pain and forgiveness Edwina takes the hero and heroine through sweeps us along with relateable characters. A must-read again story!

A wonderfully written book about the saving grace of Christ and how it is possible for us to forgive the hurts of our lives because of His forgiving example. A good book to be read by everyone!
