A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh by Carolyn Miller

4.0

Carolyn Miller is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! I enjoy her characters and the transformation that they undergo during the story. In the beginning, I didn’t like Caroline (Miss Hatherleigh). She is spoiled, self-centered, and follows the rules of society without regard for people. When she’s sent to live with her grandmother in a small village south of Devonshire, she meets the Kirbys and immediately is attracted to Gideon. She becomes fast friends with him and his sister.

Gideon is there to make a name for himself searching for fossils while at the same time protecting his sister’s fragile health. As danger strikes the Kirbys and Miss Hatherleigh, Caroline has to decide what she believes and whether to follow the dictates of society or seek real love.

I enjoyed the way faith was included in this story. There is such a great discussion through the characters of what faith is and what role science plays in faith. I enjoyed seeing Caroline’s journey from unbeliever to one who becomes open to faith. It’s a quick read full of romance, suspense, and great messages seamlessly woven in with the characters.
