Garnet's Gift

Christian Historical Romance

By: Kimberly Grist

Narrated by: Lorana Hoopes

Twenty-two-year-old Garnet Adams longs to marry and have a houseful of children. Forced to support her widowed mother, she embraces her role as a teacher, although the Carrie Town board of education's rules for female teachers leave no opportunity for a social life. She contents herself playing the violin at church.

Tall, bearded, and rough around the edges, Deputy Noah Scott would rather hunt than socialize. Garnet thinks he’s a rude, insensitive drifter, and Noah's sure the last person he'd want to court is a schoolmarm - especially with her unladylike sneeze. As the needs of her students bring them together, opposites seem to attract until a certain Christmas present derails their future.

An opposites attract romance

Each chapter has one of the rules that schoolmarms had to follow which are hard to believe by today's standards.
Garnet has little choice but to work as a school teacher in order to support her mother and her aunt.
The deputy in town, Noah, isn't interested in schoolmarms or courting. Garnet isn't what he expected, though, and he finds himself increasingly intrigued. The story is sweet and has an enjoyable, romantic happily-ever-after

*Clean romance level: sweet kisses, nothing graphic

[The narrator does a good job with the different characters' voices and reading naturally]

Garnet's Gift

I enjoyed listening to this book.
The rules that were in place for teachers were strict, especially for women. A lot of research went into this book and it shows. Kimberly Grist wrote a fantastic story. Lorena Hoopes did a fantastic job narrating the story.

Sweet and swift!

This story is an adorable story of two people floundering in life to make things the best they can. Doubts fly, confusion and then answers, lots of cute humor and enough realness to the characters to make them believable. If you are looking for a short read or listen, that is sweet and heartwarming, this is the book for you!! And I loved all the rules of the School teacher! Nice touch!
