Book Overview
When tragedy befalls the village of Candlewood, Emma Garrett graciously opens the doors of her boardinghouse to those in need. But two guests prove so disagreeable, Emma wonders how she can turn the other cheek--and what will become of the rest of her guests. Adding to the turmoil are the legal problems threatening the title to her house. And when Zachary Breckenwith makes a most surprising--and troubling--announcement, Emma's once-sure foundation is in danger of crumbling. In a season of trial and uncertainty, Emma must discover anew the source of her strength.

Delightful!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
A delightful story set in the 1800's with Christian values displayed in each challenge the characters went through. I'll be reading more of Delia Parr's books!

This book was so wonderful! I was eagerly awaiting the sequel to Delia Parr's first in the series, 'A Hearth in Candlewood' and this one was even better than the first. Don't miss it. It is such a good book.
well written nineteenth century Upstate New York tale
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
In 1842 in Candlewood, New York Emma Garrett is a caring kindhearted soul who is always there to help someone else. When a fire devastates the town, no one is shocked that she offers rooms in her boardinghouse at no charge although there is little space to house anyone else. However, Emma also has legal problems involving the ownership of the Hill House that she converted into a boardinghouse. Adding to her woes is that her lawyer Zachary Breckenwith no longer wants to represent her as he feels a conflict of interest because he loves her. He is the only person she has told the truth about her questionable ownership of Hill House. The second Candlewood historical fiction is a well written nineteenth century Upstate New York tale starring real people who deal with the tragedy and post trauma caused by the inferno that challenges everyone's beliefs in the Creator as the story line is driven by the cast struggling to understand why. Readers will enjoy this strong inspirational saga that stands alone but is embellished by previously perusing HEARTH IN CANDLEWOOD (not as focused as this novel is) in which the key players like Emma were introduced.
