Book Review - Though My Heart is Torn - Joanne Bischof


 Though My Heart Is Torn (The Cadence of Grace #2)
Title:   Though My Heart is Torn    (The Cadence of Grace Book 2)
  
Author:  JoanneBischof

Review:  Though My Heart is Torn is my kind of book. I adored the first in the series titled Be still my Soul and this one was just as good as the one before it.  Bischof knows how to weave a remarkable story. I love that as I read I am dying for things to go Lonnie’s way, but every time it seems she gets dealt a bum hand. Lonnie is married to wayward Gideon, and they seem to have finally worked out their issues only to find out Gideon has another wife! Seriously, I love it. Lonnie’s heart is broken and she doesn’t know what is going to happen to her and the man she has grown to love. As the reader, it breaks your heart to watch Lonnie and Gideon go through this tear-jerking trial. It is unbelievable. I don’t want to spoil it too much, so I’ll just tell you to go out and pick it up and read it. You won’t regret it! It is an awesome book and I honestly can’t wait to read the next one.

Thanks Heather for this review.

Synopsis: Gideon O’Riley has two wives—but he doesn’t know it.
  
Settling into a simple life in the majestic Blue Ridge mountains, Lonnie and Gideon O’Riley have finally found happiness after the rocky start to their marriage. The roguish bluegrass musician has fallen in love with his gentle wife and the God she serves, and Lonnie rests secure in his tenderness for her and their young son. A heartless ruse interupts their peace, bringing them back to Rocky Knob—and forces them to face the claims of Cassie Allan, a woman who says she is Gideon’s rightful wife.

As Gideon wades into the depths of his past choices, Lonnie is stunned by the revelations. She has no choice but to navigate this new path, knowing that surviving the devastating blow will take every ounce of strength  she has.

While Gideon’s guilt  and his bitterness towards Cassie threatens to burn up his fledgling faith, Lonnie wrestles to find the courage to trust the God who brought them together in the first place. Will their hard-earned love be able to conquer all?

Lonnie only wanted her husband’s love. Now that he belongs to another, can she surrender Gideon to a God with a bigger plan?
