My Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK SOO MUCH!!! I finally was able to find a clean historical-fiction romance that was written by a Christian author! The plot and characters were similar enough to the original Pride and Prejudice that I was satisfied with it as a retelling, but they were unique enough that it kept me intrigued!

My Takeaway: This book is about the importance of home and finding true love. You might want to be aware that the romance is a major theme in the book, however, it is clean. 

Romance: Heavy, romantic thoughts, romantic touches such as holding hands, etc., but everything is clean and not descriptive. 

Language: None

Nudity: None.

Alcohol/smoking/drugs: None

Violence: None

Darkness: Light, the mine is a dark, sad place

Bad Messages: None.

Good Messages: The importance of family and home, biblically based love and marriage.

Stars: 5
