The Love Note is the second book that I have had the chance to read by Joanna Davidson Politano, and after finishing I can say without a doubt that she truly is a unique voice among the Christian fiction genre... not just for the unique stories she presents, but because of the beautiful style in which they are written. They have a timeless style that is just absolutely beautiful to read.

In this book we meet the very independent Willa Duvall. Willa dreams of becoming a doctor despite being female in 1865. She likes the idea of romance, but doesn't think it's the end all be all for women, and certainly not for her. When she finds an old letter, she takes on a nursing job at Crestwicke Manor to try to find the intended recipient. Not only does the letter turn her life upside down, reuniting her with her childhood friend Gabe... but it seems to turn the lives of ALL the residents of Crestwicke Menor upside down as well. With tales of romance, buried secrets and elements of great mystery, it was an absolutely beautiful story... and so unlike the classic romance that one might expect from the name. I cannot say much without giving it away, but I truly could not get enough. It tells us a great story of the true impact that words can have on each of us... and also of the importance of love and forgiveness as well.

If you enjoy historical fiction, this is certainly one not to be missed.
