For most of the story, it certainly looked like Prosperity might choose the doctor although her heart was still tender toward her former fiance. Then it would look favorable for David for awhile and change yet again. My goodness, I was second-guessing that girl through the entire book!<\/p>\n<p>Christine Johnson&#8217;s writing is superb! I could literally feel the intense heat and heavy, humid air of the Florida Keys and hear the crashing waves and sea birds. Her characters were deftly drawn with both good and not-so-good characteristic that made them all the more believable. David&#8217;s mistakes were unfortunate and made me think of warnings to young men from the book of Proverbs. Surprisingly, I found David easier to relate to than Prosperity (great name, by the way!) but was never certain quite why that was.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed &#8220;Honor Redeemed&#8221; and my return visit through its pages to the Florida Keys. I look forward to the next installment of this series.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>A copy of this book was provided for review by<br \/>\nRevell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two years ago, Prosperity Jones waved farewell to her beloved David as the army sent him to faraway Key West. Now with her parents gone, she has but one prospect for the future: make the dangerous journey from Nantucket to Key West to reunite with David and secure a happier life.<\/p>\n<p>But when Prosperity arrives penniless in the South, she is dismayed to find David has not been eagerly awaiting their reunion. In fact, he is married to someone else. Scrambling to survive and nursing a broken heart, Prosperity gains the friendship&#8211;and the affection&#8211;of a kind doctor. Could he be the answer to her loneliness? Or will her life be upended by circumstance yet again?<\/p>\n<p>With a deft hand, Christine Johnson fills the senses with the sights, sounds, and smells of Key West in this heartwarming story of honor lost, honor redeemed, and a love forged in adversity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/assets.bakerpublishinggroup.com\/processed\/book-resources\/files\/Excerpt_9780800723514.pdf?1462974634\">Read an excerpt from &#8220;Honor Redeemed&#8221; HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20671\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20671\" class=\"wp-image-20671 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Christine-Johnson-150x210.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 E.A.
