The theme of The Runaway Bride is having the courage to do the right thing, especially when there is a personal price. In 1862 Arabella Laurence found herself on a bride ship voyaging from England to Vancouver Island because there were those in her family that lacked such courage. Readers will see that this type of courage is born of Christ and the willingness to pick up one's own cross and make personal sacrifices. While the book's description so far might sound a bit preachy, nothing could be farther from the truth. Jody Hedlund writes quite passionate love scenes without stepping outside the boundaries of Christian fiction. She develops a wide variety of characters, using their eccentricities to help both Arabella and readers to embrace valuable lessons on the virtues that grow in those who truly seek to live for the Lord, and to recognize a life of emptiness that comes from living to please people.
I am grateful to have received a copy of The Runaway Bride from Bethany House via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
