Joanne Bischof

"As the circus tents are raised on the outskirts of Roanoke in 1890, nurse Ella Beckley arrives to tend a Gypsy girl under the watchful eye of Charlie Lionheart, a guardian who bears a striking resemblance to the child and protects the baby with a love that awakens a hope in Ella that goodness may yet reign"--

Re-Read July 2018:

Have you ever met a book that changed you and your outlook on life? One that resonated with you, moved you to the point of tears, and spoke truth to your soul? 

This is that kind of book.

I have no sufficient words to review this; all I have to say is that I needed to reread this book right now. It came at the perfect time in my life.

This book has changed the way I view life - and I'm so, so grateful for it. The characters and themes live on long after the final page is turned.

Thank you, Joanne Bischof, for The Lady and the Lionheart. There's a girl named Mary who really needed to read it today. <3

OKAY SO BASICALLY I ADORED IT. And every single Joanne Bischof book I've read has ended up on my favorites shelf immediately so what does that tell you?

Will hopefully review this beautiful book if I can find the words to do it justice.

(But in case you're wondering...READ ITTTT.)

5 stars!

Achingly beautiful.
Something about the way Joanne Bischof strings words together stirs deep in my heart. This was a simple love story- no danger, no mystery- but the beauty of the writing and stunning characters kept me turning pages. This is a book I didn't want to finish, and when I did, it was with a happy sigh.
