I am reviewing a copy of The Way of Love through Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley:




Faith Kenner is a woman ahead of her time.  she is pursuing her dream to become a doctor at Willamette University's medical college so she can use her gift for healing to help those in need, especially the native populations forced onto reservations and then neglected.   It is then that she meets Andrew Gratton, a handsome riverboat captain who has been injured on his ship, she uses her skills to tend his wound, and a friendship grows between them.  Andrew admires Faith’s strength and her determination, as well as her willingness to stand her ground.  He also greatly appreciates her Faith, her kindness and compassion.  the problem is Faith holds a secret that means their friendship can never become anything more, so she must bury her feelings for Andrew as best she can.




Faith is eager to participate when some of her fellow students put together lectures to speak out against Oregon's racist laws and policies.  However some powerful men have other plans for their state, and soon Faith is caught in the middle of a plot to push the local Indian tribes to rebel. As they fight for the rights of others Faith and Andrew’s love for one another grows. Can they trust that God has a way toward love for them, or will her secret stand in the way of their one chance for true?




If you are looking for an inspiring and uplifting story of Faith, and Overcoming of not standing down when a wrong is seen, and of a woman who was not afraid to fight for her dreams and ambitions at a time when many were stifled, I highly recommend The Way of Love.




I give The Way of Love five out of five stars!




Happy Reading!
