Nurse Julie's Sacrifice Book

4.5 stars
We listened to this on a too-long road trip. It's engaging and the Librivox narrator did an excellent job. Tryon is out walking toward his home when a girl asks for his help. Circumstances throw them together for the entire evening, and by the time he bids her goodbye, she's carved out her own special place in his heart. Mary won't give her last name and says she is in danger, and pretty soon he can't help himself from trying to find her in Chicago and help her out.

A bit fluffy, but entirely enjoyable. Also, if you're expecting to find the strong Christian influence that is normally in her writing, this one mostly just mentions that they are people of strong faith, and that's it, so don't go into it expecting more.

What I didn't like: Tryon lies to his family outright and has no qualms about it. Thus, not suitable for younger children who don't yet realize it's wrong to lie and that consequences usually ensue.
