Another fascinating book by the author of A Vanished Hand. Rhoda returns home after the death of her employer to find out that her cousin Helen, with whom she was raised, also returned home. Her husband stole 300 pounds and had to run away to Australia and leave her pregnant. Rhoda has to reconcile her shame and learn to cope with the new situation. But nothing is as it seems. More than anything, this book is about breaking stigmas and opening up your mind to understand and love people, despite their faults, usually with the help of God. Perfect for fans of good novels about crimes, stories about childhood, along with lovers of religious fiction. - Summary by Stav Nisser.

(5 stars)

Sarah Doudney is one of my favorite authors. All of her novels are worth reading. I have read many at Hathitrust. Some have been reprinted. I know her series Godiva Durleigh has. Nelly Channel is a sweet, thought provoking novel with a theme of forgiveness. By listening to it, my heart and spirit is softened and I feel more encouraged to be loving and kind. I hope you do as well!

a sweet tale
