Callie has been living in the Moravian settlement of Shoenbrunn in the O he yo territory west of Pennsylvania. Since the flood hit the orphanage where she was living four years ago, her memory of everything previous to that time has basically been erased. She is the county healer, but her skills and knowledge are sketchy, but she does the best she can. Joshua Johnston has come to the settlement looking for her but she has no memory of him at all. She does know that there was some connection, but her mind can't bring it back.

This is how Tammy Shuttlesworth introduces her novel, The Memory of Love. Callie has a sister living with her named Sarah, who does her best to aggravate Callie. What I don't understand and what I feel is never dealt with in the novel or the one that follows is if Callie's memory is gone, why doesn't Sarah help Callie try to remember. Sarah's memories are never spoken of in either novel, but I feel they could have added to the plot and given it more substance.

In Healing Sarah's Heart, Sarah is traveling with her friend, Bessie, and Sarah's son, Samuel. Sarah's husband, Levi, was killed in an Indian uprising. When they come to the fort where they are to stay for a while, Sarah meets Bessie's brother, Jeremiah. This novel takes place about five years after The Memory of Love and brings the reader through the trials that are the war for independence from Britain.

Tammy has done a good job with her novels, but the issues of Callie's memories, and Sarah's lack of concern for them are what brings it down to a four star book. Still a very good read.

My Thanks to Barbour Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.

This was a really sweet book and the first time that I have had the opportunity to read a book by this author. It was an American historical romance with some very nice writing. I enjoyed the story very much.

Callie Troyer joins a Moravian Brothers mission group and serves as their medical helper there. A stranger comes to the mission also with medical training and seems to have an interest in her. A part of her past and her future seem to come together in a most interesting way. The story has its sad moments and trials as the pioneering souls fight to make a life.

A very nice Christian read. I believe it was probably of novella length. It comes with a bonus sequel, Healing Sarah's Heart.

This is the first time I have read a book by Tammy Shuttlesworth . She is a new to me author.
I would recommend this to lovers of frontier Christian romance. There are two stories here connected by the same characters that take place about 5 years apart. The book had a nice ending. There was a sentence that made no sense in where it was placed. I could not figure it out.
