I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The Brickmaker's Bride by Judith Miller
Refined by Love
ISBN: 978-0764212550
Trade Paperback
Synopsis: Bestselling Author Judith Miller Debuts Historical Series Set in West Virginia
Yearning for a fresh start, Ewan McKay travels with his aunt and uncle from northern Scotland to West Virginia, promising to trade his skills in the clay business for financial assistance from his uncle Hugh. Hugh purchases a brickmaking operation from a Civil War widow and her daughter, but it’s Ewan who gets the business up and running again. Ewan seeks help from Laura, the former owner’s daughter, and he feels a connection with her, but she’s being courted by another man–a lawyer with far more social clout and money than Ewan. Besides, Ewan has resolved he’ll focus on making the brickmaking operation enough of a success that he can become a partner in the business and be able to afford to bring his sisters over from Scotland.
But when Hugh signs a bad business deal, all Ewan’s hard work may come to naught. As his plans begin to crumble, Laura reveals something surprising. She and her mother may have a way to save the brickworks, and in turn Ewan may have another shot at winning Laura’s heart.
Review: It has been awhile since I have read a book by Judith Miller but I am glad I picked up this book. I enjoy books from this time. Judith did a good job on the character development. It was nice to watch Ewan and Laura's relationship develop though out this book. I felt bad for Laura for all she had to go through. I think she was a strong person. I like the journey that this book took me on. I recommend this book for all historical fiction fans. I am glad I picked this book up and look forward to the rest of the series.
