    I have always loved historical romances. It is so great to read a Christian based book. The characters were interesting and kept me interested in them. I have given up reading so many other books due to the "adult" contact (putting this politely). I love that the characters truly seem to care and help each other and give each other suggestions on Bible verses that help them. The one that Leah finally gets is one that really helped me also.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2017

    I enjoyed this book immensely. I laughed and cried, and I really fell for Eli, he reminds me a lot of my own hubby. 😄 I love that there were so many Christian characters. Stones Creek seems like a place I'd like to live. I love that Eli prayed for her and understood what Leah was going through and knew exactly how to help. Loved the Thomas and Alemeda characters. Some of it reminded me of my fav TV show, Dr. Quinn. :) It's a great story. Very realistic in regard to the details about PTSD. The residual characters are wonderful, well with the exception of Eli's parents, haha. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the manuscript desperately needs proofreading and in some cases even editing. I saw in a comment on another review that the author said it was professionally edited? Oh my. Perhaps an older copy of the manuscript was uploaded. It's been two years - it wouldn't cost that much to get a proofreader to give it a good going over. I lost count, probably over 200 typos and mistakes. Plus... Although I downloaded it for free, I nearly skipped it because the cover makes it appear to be a modern romance and I prefer historicals. Oh, and the faces don't match the characters features either. All in all, however, it kept my interest. 😁

    5.0 out of 5 stars God Loves Us & Leads Us To Peace
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2018

    Sweet wholesome Christian romance. It deals with a young woman who has PTSD from working in hospitals during the Civil War. With her parents gone, she moves West to start a new life. But how can she when she sees one of her former patients, the case that bothered her the most, in her new town? And now, because she's been compromised, they have to marry! This story made me laugh & cry. So many War scars, visible & invisible, are being dealt with by many in this community. But knowing God is stronger than our fears & memories gets us through. I highly recommend this. It does go into the physical war wounds pretty deeply, so that could make you a bit squeamish.

    I loved this book. I could not put it down; had to keep turning the pages to see what happened next. I especially appreciated the scriptures used throughout the book. It had great life teaching moments. And, the story, well, needless to say, I enjoyed the characters and their interactions. Thank you Sophie Dawson for this wonderfully written story of the years after the war between the states. I had no idea of the terrible details. War is never pretty but this book lets us see the true effects on those who were there. A lesson we need in our lives today. We know that God is always at work and helping us especially in the most difficult times of our life. Thanks for reminding me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Historical Western Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    LEAH'S PEACE by Sophie Dawson is one of those sweet historical western romances that you can curl up in a chair with and enjoy, becasue the book is more about the journey than a thick guessing plot. Something different in this book that is not always shared in other historical romances was the faith the characters had in God. And, at the center of the book were the lessons we learn from trusting God in our everyday living.

    I have always found historical romances intriguing because of the history in them and the way some authors are able to bring that history alive for the reader. LEAH'S PEACE accomplishes this with the addition of fun characters and lots of love, from the youngest member of the book to the oldest.

    LEAH'S PEACE is the first in the Stone's Creek series and the characters of the second book, Chasing Nori make their debut in this book. The reader can easily see that the fun and love will flow into the second book seamlessly.

    I really enjoyed LEAH'S PEACE and I am giving it 5 stars. I will definitely be reading the second book in the series.
    I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. More at [...]

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good read but......
    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2018

    I had mixed feeling about this book.

    The story line was great. I really enjoyed the plot of Leah helping her father through the war and I think the author did well dealing with the PTSD from her experiences.

    The thing I didn't like was some parts of the book moved quickly like a short story, so so much happened in the book but most of it wasn't really developed...... Like the cowboys kidnapped them, put them in a cave together...... For what?!?! It never really made sense why they would do that.

    Anyways the book seemed really long at some points I think I would have liked it better if it had been 2 books and she had developed the story line a little more..... Also the side romance of Norie and Linc (setting up for the second book) was kind of annoying I'm not sure I want to read it because I have a feeling there's going to be allot of recap of what happened in this book

    I did enjoy the end with the train wreck

    I don't give five stars with any frequency. This is my first book by Sophie Dawson. Her ability to weave the realities of living in our fallen world with scriptures that give us answers to succeed is very remarkable. The characters could be any of our next door neighbors. The story is in the years following the war between the states. We see numerous lives that took to the west to start over. Many trying to leave the past behind find it's not always easy. Give yourself a treat and read Leah's Peace.

    I found the story line great and can only imagine the amount of research that was needed. The charters were great and they drew you into the story but I began to think the book became too religious for me. As a Christian I enjoy good clean stories but I found this became more like a sermon.
    I'd rate the story it self as a 4 1/2 but because it became over the top it went to a 3. I'm sure there will be plenty who will thoroughly enjoy it and disagree with me
