Penny Zeller wrote another exceptional book. The characters help develop the story along with faith as Lilybeth travels to Montana with her 2 year old son with very little money. Coming from a rough marriage with a husband who was a drinker and gambler, Lilybeth has to learn to trust and let herself learn that it is ok to fall in love again. When she meets Barrett, he realizes her situation and seeks to help her out. Many people befriend Lilybeth, but she also have to deal with two mean ladies when she opens up her dress shop. Will she have the courage to make the business successful and learn that there truly are good people in the world who wants to help?

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All words are my own.

I very much enjoy this sweet romance novel.

A young woman with nothing but a little money and her son moves to Montana because she had no family circle of faith at her home.

She meets a wonderful group of people who bring her into their fold and lover on her. She grows in her faith and falls in love. Nothing too much to stress about but a wonderfully written book to enjoy when you feel lost.

Heart of Courage by Penny Zeller is a sweet romance about new beginnings.

1885. Lily Beth Engel boards a train with her young son, going as far as her funds will take her. She ends up in Hilltop, in the Montana Territory for a fresh start.

Barrett MacCallam is compassionate to help Lily Beth start her own sewing business. When Barrett starts to fall in love with Lily Beth, will she be strong enough to hand over her heart once again?

This is a faith filled heartwarming clean story. The story is well written, the characters well developed.

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Heart of Courage by Penny Zeller is a moving tale of new beginnings and a mother's love.

LilyBeth has not had the easiest life, but perhaps the past few months have been the most tumultuous. After a series of hardships, she finds herself seeking a fresh start for both herself and her young son. LilyBeth exhibits a gentle strength and stalwart tenacity and determination that easily make her an endearing heroine. Her son, Otis, is simply adorable as well.

Barrett is a wonderful hero, and he was so gentle with LilyBeth's bruised and battered heart. The secondary characters, Vann and Etta Mae, were great as well and such a fun couple.

Not all characters are lovable. Zeller crafted some odious villains. Perhaps they are the worst type of villain because they are the every day type. They don't want to take over the world or even the town, but they're the vile type that do everything in their power to make LilyBeth miserable.

The faith is beautiful and touching and creates many emotional and touching scenes. The romance is so sweet and will leave you going, "Awww".

If you're looking for a heartwarming and touching book that will cause you to both laugh and tear up, look no further.
