Overview
God’s perfect plan is sometimes so hard to determine.
Gwendolyn, Cecelia, and the youngest, Bonnie, make a pact never to break their father’s heart like their big sister did. Then their determination is sorely tried when suitors show up, and he gets so pigheaded with his rules.
Will Henry survive his daughters coming of age? Will they endure and keep their promises to each other?
From one man asking to court her—who Daddy sends packing—Gwen goes to three! How can she ever decide? Cecelia knows exactly who she wants, but she’s still a year away from Daddy’s acceptable courting age. What if her beau doesn’t know or won’t wait? And Bonnie hates being the baby and wants to be grown-up more than just about anything…except her man. She is for sure and for certain in love.
In his life, Henry Buckmeyer has never been so beside himself. His little girls are so young, just babies, too young. He hates the whole idea of men coming to take them away and is inclined to shoot every one of them, but praise God for a level-headed, loving wife and step-mother! She helps keep him sane amidst the female chaos. Packed with fun, romance, deception, action, heartbreak and tears, this delightful Christian novel keeps the twists and turns coming.
Will the Buckmeyer home ever be settled and peaceful again? Will any of his daughters find true love…a man he’ll approve and to whom he can give his blessing?
My Two Cents
Daughters of the Heart follows the journey of the three youngest Buckmeyer daughters as they try to convince their dad to let them marry. This is a fun novel that is full of humor, romance, and the tight bonds of family. I loved reading the interactions between the sisters as the story progressed. The love Henry Buckmeyer has for his daughters is touching; it reminded me of my own relationship with my father and how much he looks out for me. The unfolding romances were cute and left me wanting to know what would happen next.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. It was a wonderful story of family and love; the only reason I cannot give this book five stars is because of some awkward sentences.
