Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Hand Me Down the Dawn
Mary Sayler · 2017
62/100
👎 Skip It
Mary Harwell Sayler is a sincere Christian author and the Zondervan Serenade/Saga pedigree means this was properly edited faith-based romance in its day. A 1985 novel reprinted as a 2017 self-published title carries real stylistic and visibility limitations, though — contemporary Christian romance readers have many fresher options, and the sparse review record makes it hard to recommend confidently.
