She’ll defy society to choose a life of her own making.
Despite her wealthy upbringing in Yorkshire, Ada Thorne is determined to make her own choices, especially when it comes to love. After falling for a handsome, humble gamekeeper, she gives up everything familiar to marry him and begin a new life in London.
However, learning how to keep house and cook meals aren’t the only things Ada needs to master. In the wake of her parents’ continual rejection and the country on the brink of the First World War, Ada has to decide if she will choose compassion over bitterness, and faith over fear.

My Review 🖤
Her faithfulness and determination shines brightly, even when faced with the most unimaginable circumstances. The thread of faith is interwoven magnificently throughout the novel, not only in Ada's life, but those that loved and supported Ada throughout her journey.
Masterfully written with such benevolence, you can't help but feel the emotional ties tugging your heartstrings when Ada's family is deeply affected by the war, and as she struggles with her faith when it is shaken to its core. I loved the faith aspect and appreciated that it was messy, true to life, and by no means preachy or heavy-handed, painting a redemptive picture that shows that God will meet you where you are.
Stacy Henrie's superb writing puts you right there in the heart of wartime England, showing the hardship and struggles many had to face during that time, and adding another layer to this incredibly story, giving even more depth and understanding. The characters are so well developed, and I found myself connecting with Ada and her journey more and more as I read on. I know The Keeper of Her Heart will always hold a special place in my heart, a truly touching experience, and one that I am so thankful I got to experience.
My Rating: ★★★★★
