Jordy McAllen has just returned to Scotland after his education in London. He fears that what everyone has always said about him may be true: he can’t be a good doctor, let alone a good man. Determined to prove himself, Jordy snatches up the opportunity to become the doctor in the village of Keefmore near his parents’ farm.

​When an old friend decides to travel to Keefmore and visit a relative, Ivy follows. She soon finds herself drawn to Jordy, but as their attraction grows, they both face doubts. A relationship between the two of them feels improbable—and might just require a step of impossible faith.

BEYOND HER CALLING (Chronicles of Alice and Ivy) Book Tour Giveaway


 

My Review: 

The Dressmaker's Secret is a great start to Kellyn Roth’s The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy series. It is, also, my introduction to her books. It definitely will not be the last. Her talents really shines through out this book. I adored this story and getting to know little Alice. I thought it had a little bit of mystery added to it that kept me captivated and intrigued. This is not one of those stories that can be easily predictable and I never knew what was going to happen each time turned a page. What I thought to be a “sitting down to read a chapter or two” moment, wound up being “I can not believe I read that whole book” hours later. I thought it was great right from the start and my attention was held all the way to the very end. I loved finding out what would become of the characters.  

The Dressmaker's Secret will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading Christian historical fiction. This one is so very good I can not wait to get my hands on the next installment from Kellyn Roth’s The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy, Ivy Introspective. Miss Roth has earned herself a new fan.

I received a digital copy of The Dressmaker's Secret from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
