Who Am I?

Lena Nelson Dooley · 2007
91/100
👍 Worth It

Lena Nelson Dooley opens her Massachusetts Weddings series with a heroine whose identity has been upended — a mother's death, a hidden family secret, and a cross-country trip to meet a grandfather she never knew. The romance with Gerome Mays carries genuine tension because he suspects Leiann's motives even as he's drawn to her, and a theft investigation adds a suspense thread that keeps the pages moving. The faith message about finding identity in the Lord is woven throughout without overwhelming the story. Heartsong Presents readers know what to expect: clean romance with a dependable faith core. First-time genre readers may find the structure familiar, but within the Heartsong tradition Dooley delivers what the audience came for.
