THOUGH MY HEART IS TORN

Though My Heart Is Torn - Joanne Bischof



Settling into a simple life in the majestic Blue Ridge mountains, Lonnie and Gideon O’Riley have finally found happiness after the rocky start to their marriage. The roguish bluegrass musician has fallen in love with his gentle wife and the God she serves, and Lonnie rests secure in his tenderness for her and their young son. A heartless ruse interrupts their peace, bringing them back to Rocky Knob—and forces them to face the claims of Cassie Allan, a woman who says she is Gideon’s rightful wife.
As Gideon wades into the depths of his past choices, Lonnie is stunned by the revelations. She has no choice but to navigate this new path, knowing that surviving the devastating blow will take every ounce of strength she has.
While Gideon’s guilt and his bitterness towards Cassie threatens to burn up his fledgling faith, Lonnie wrestles to find the courage to trust the God who brought them together in the first place. Will their hard-earned love be able to conquer all?
I like the book but was unable to get into it. The start was good and the characters were interesting enough. I'm not sure why I couldn't get past the first couple chapters. I didn't understand why Lonnie left her parents home. But other then that it was entertaining. I feel that if others read it they might really enjoy it even though I had trouble getting through it.
