You all know justhow much I love Historical Fiction Books! I just can’t get enough ofthem! Fairer Than Morning was no exception!

After the firstpage I was already hooked on the story of Ann. I myself have beenyoung and in love. Ann just after a few pages had things in her lifetake a turn that was unexpected. I myself have been in that situationwhere things don’t happen like I want. But, after time goes on yourealize that it is because God has a different plan for you. That isexactly what happened to Ann!

In the story Annhas her life planned out. Well she thinks that her life is plannedout but then things take an unexpected turn when her family has to goto Ohio. While there she meets a man named Will. A man whom hasbasically sold his life away to a man that is much worse than couldbe imagined. Will is a depleted man who has been dealt a difficulthand in life. From his family dying of sickness to an apprenticeshipthat is less than ideal. There seem to be no good in site when itcomes to the life of Will Hanby. That is until the day he meets Ann!

I love storiesthat can take me away on a journey. That is exactly what happenswhile reading Fairer Than Morning!
