Blog Tour and Book Review: A Prayer Unanswered by Kellyn Roth

I am so excited to be part of the blog tour for A Prayer Unanswered by Kellyn Roth!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: A Prayer Unanswered
Series: The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy, Book 5
Genre: Christian Historical Women’s Fiction / Family Saga
Era: Victorian / Early 1880s
Setting: England and United States (Pennsylvania, Ohio)

As Alice Strauss enters her first year of marriage—full of optimism and determination—she finds herself wholly unprepared for reality. In a new country, with a new family, she struggles to find her footing. Difficult relationships and situations batter her, but she is determined to establish a perfect life with the man she loves.

Unfortunately, perfection seems just beyond her reach. An unexpected tragedy flings Alice out of control, and she struggles to rise from the ruins. Her world is full of spinning variables and agony beyond anything she has ever experienced.

However, there is hope—in a God who loves her and a future established for her since before time began. Yet the devastation of Alice’s life seems beyond even the touch of grace.

MY THOUGHTS

5 / 5 stars

I fell in love with this series as a beta reader for the first book. Kellyn’s writing style along with her skill for character growth really pulls you in and leaves you wanting more. Which is exactly why I’ve read every single book so far in the series and will continue until its end. (Which I hope is no time soon!)

Just when these beloved characters have gone through “enough”, the trials and heartache start yet again. This book definitely deals with darker and more mature themes than the previous books, and they were handled truthfully and delicately at the same time—something that I appreciate very much. Typically, the mental health aspect of dealing with loss is not often something that is discussed, but this book pulled it front and center and I felt it came across very real.

In this series, Kellyn always creates a clear picture of how God is ever-present. How He is ready and waiting to help us through our struggles. And this book falls right in line with that.

If you love a Jane Austen type feel, with strong moral and spiritual themes, and a clean and wholesome story, this entire series is just for you!

** I was given an ARC copy by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thoughts and opinions are my own.
