Announcing September’s #HedlundChallenge2015 | A Noble Groom

January 18, 2019 by Jamie 1 Comment

(The 2015 Jody Hedlund Challenge is a monthly series featuring the novels of author Jody Hedlund, hosted by Cassie of Bookshelves and Windows and Jamie of Books and Beverages. We invite readers and bloggers to join us in reading and discussing these books together. Every month, we’ll announce the book about four weeks before the discussion post will go live (alternating between Cassie and Jamie’s blogs). The following month, after everyone has read the book, we will discuss and interact with each other about our thoughts on each book with special appearances throughout the year! If you’re on Facebook be sure to join our group!)

What’s scary is that we only have a couple more months of the Hedlund Challenge (it ends in October!). Say-to-the-what. This also means 2015 will soon be coming to a close and I can barely even with that, so let’s just get back to chatting about books.

If you haven’t read A Noble Groom, friends you are in for a treat!! You can find my original review here and I can’t wait to dive in again!

A Noble Groom

Recently widowed Annalisa Werner has the feeling her husband was murdered but can’t prove it. Alone with her young daughter in 1881 Michigan, she has six months left to finish raising the money needed to pay back the land contract her husband purchased, and the land is difficult to toil by herself. She needs a husband. With unmarried men scarce, her father sends a letter to his brother in the Old Country, asking him to find Annalisa a groom.

For nobleman Carl von Reichart, the blade of the guillotine is his fate. He’s been accused and convicted of a serious crime he didn’t commit, and his only escape is to flee to a small German community in Michigan where he’ll be safe. He secures a job on Annalisa’s farm but bumbles through learning about farming and manual labor.

Annalisa senses that Carl is harboring a secret about his past, yet she finds herself drawn to him anyway. He’s gentle, kind, and romantic–unlike any of the men she’s ever known. He begins to restore her faith in the ability to love–but her true groom is still on his way. And time is running out on them all.

Discussion Date: September 22, 2015

And don’t forget! I’m hosting the discussion next week here for A Preacher’s Bride. I loved reading it again and catching a glimpse of the life John Bunyan and his wife Elizabeth led. What a story! Plus a fun interview too!

Join in the #HedlundChallenge2015 as we read A Noble Groom next month!
