Welcome back to Jacob and Julia's Iowa farm.
In 1893, their son Justin is eleven. and daughter Annaliese is ten. When Jacob and Julia adopted Annaliese as an infant, they were told God had a special plan for her. As Annaliese grows up, she wonders if her purpose will be world-changing.
Julia's old friend, Edward Harrington, comes to visit from England, along with his wife and son, Robbie. Their time at the farm is the beginning of a like/hate relationship and later something more between Robbie and Annaliese. When the families travel to San Francisco in 1900, a shocking revelation from Edward's wife could change everything, beginning with taking Annaliese to England.
If this is God's plan, Annaliese is disappointed. It's nothing like she imagined, and her heart's desire is to go to veterinary college. This could mean a very different future for her.

MY THOUGHTS
Heart’s Promise is a Christian Historical Romance that is written by Linda Hoover. This is book three in the Heart’s Desire series. I have not read the whole series, and had no issue following along. I absolutely love the cover of this book - I felt that it really helped to bring the characters and scenery alive.
This book is set during the Gilded Age, which is rapidly becoming one of my favorite era to read. Annaliese was adopted as an infant by Jacob and Julia. She has had her heart set on becoming a veterinarian. Robbie, a family friend and whom she starts a courtship with - has varying opinions. He feels that her place is not in the workforce.
One of the things that I really loved about this story - is how the characters trust God. While they had varying opinions, they both turned to God to ensure they were on the correct path of life. I enjoyed reading about their faith journey.
The book is well written, the storyline is engaging. The author does a great job in transporting readers back in time with her scenes and descriptions.
Thank you to the author, punisher and JustRead Publicity Tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
