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.
