Though My Heart Is Torn by Joanne Bischof- I Loved This Book!

Does the implication of choice really have consequences?

Gideon O'Reilly, wife Lonnie and baby Jacob set off on travel to visit Lonnie's ailing mother. It was then that it was discovered that Gideon actually had two wives. In the inkling of thought he is torn between love and duty, yet he cherishes the quiet peacefulness of a spare moment afforded to him. Can hope mend that which broken, and can that truly be enough?

Sacrifice, Heartbreak, Love, Faithfulness, Forgiveness along with plot twists bring readers into the lives of some unforgettable and realistically well balanced characters. I loved this touching, well crafted story that quickly became impossible to put down. I enjoyed the
first novel in the series "Be Still My Soul", but "Though My Heart Is Torn" was phenomenal, and one that promises a storyline that has absolutely no broken or dull parts, dialogue that is easy to follow, and realistic scenery, this one captured my heart and attention. I definately look forward to catching back up with the O'Reilly's in the next in the series. This book can be read as a stand alone novel, however, it does start where the last one left off. I found the overall message inspiring and will definately recommend this faith challenging entertaining book to others. 5 Stars! I received a free copy of this book from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Company for this review.
