The Nature of a Lady by Roseanna M. White
5.0
While this one took me a bit to finish (thanks to life picking up), it is in no way a reflection of the book itself. Roseanne White has knocked it out of the park again with this new series, and I cannot wait to read the next installment.
Particularly fun is reading her notes at the end of the book where she describes her inspiration for the story and seeing how real life happenings catapulted into a book!
One thing that I love about White’s writing is how she incorporates faith without being preachy. One of the main characters is a clergyman, but his approach is gentle.
The deeper dive into flora/fauna with the main character and her gentle love for the scientific was wonderful. Add in the mystery of a missing person, a murder, and potential hidden treasure and you have a lot to cover!
A favorite quote from the book: “He knows your name. Not Libby, not Elizabeth Sinclair. Your true name, the one at the heart of you that has never been spoken. He knows you, and He calls you by it. You, in all your uniqueness. You, in everything that differentiates you from others. You, in all you have in common with them. He knows you, and He calls you by name. He knows how you fit into this world.”
I received this book from Bethany House via NetGalley - all opinions are my own.
