This is my favorite book of the series! Amos was such a darling, leading man, and Grace was shy, but had a steel streak running right through her! And this book was 10 times better than the last book I read about telegraph operator’s falling in love (Line by Line, by Jennifer Delamere). And I’m thankful God found a man for poor Helen.

This book made me really happy and I enjoyed it so much! I loved the humor, the adventure, the faith, the suspense, and of course, the romance.🥰
Grace and Amos were adorable. I absolutely loved how they met! I am a sucker for books with the pen pals-who-fall-in-love trope so I loved that aspect of the book.💗 I mean they became best friends-to-more by communicating with morse code… how cute is that?
I loved both of the characters individually too! I really liked Grace and admired her quiet strength. I really liked Amos and his personality. Oh, and his humor was great too.☺️ They were just a really sweet couple! Karen Witemeyer just knows how to write a sweet romance that’ll make you smile.
I absolutely loved getting to see Malachi and Emma again! They’re the cutest! And it was fun seeing the rest of the women from this town too.
I also loved reading Helen’s POV which I wasn’t expecting! She and Lee were precious and I loved them!
The suspense and action made this book really hard to put down. I love how fast-paced it was. We basically jump into the plot/action right away so I was gripped by the stories and the characters from the start. There was never a dull moment!
As far as content goes, there’s some violence and semi-detailed kisses. Per usual with Karen’s books, I’d recommend to older teens and up.
Overall, I loved this story! It was just I wanted to read at the moment. A sweet romance, an intriguing plot, and good faith content.🥰
