I was not sure I was going to like this book, but I did. This is the story of girls being rescued out of prostitution in the old west, if they chose to be. A clear presentation of the gospel was given some of the rescuers needed some help also in the matter of forgiveness. I was given this complimentary copy for the purpose of reviewing.

Take your time. There are some romance novels where you eagerly anticipate the moment when the characters confess their love and tie the knot ☺️. However, with this one, I found myself savoring the journey. I felt like a fly on the wall as I delved into this book, relishing the character development of both the primary and secondary characters. It was a delightful read, free from excessive drama or tragedy, offering a light-hearted yet impactful experience. The spiritual lessons ✅, character development ✅, and the chemistry between Ephraim and Birdie ✅ were all masterfully executed. Overall, it's an excellent book, and I wholeheartedly recommend it :)

I love and admire Kim Vogel's books. In The Songbird of Hope Hill, she took a difficult topic and created a beautiful story of redemption and hope. Birdie Clarkson's life has been more than difficult, often due to other people's choices for her, but when she is rescued from a brothel house, her life starts on a new path. I love this story because Kim Vogel Sawyer took a horrible circumstance and showed both the human side and the love of our wonderful God. The story has great characters and a message I'll think about for awhile. If you enjoy historical fiction with an amazing faith thread, you'll want to read this book. I received a free copy. Opinions are my own.

An absolutely precious story. I loved this book and savored every single word of The Songbird of Hope Hill.

I will definitely seek out more novels by Kim Sawyer to read!

I will say this is a variation on Hosea just like Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. But - Redeeming Love was intense and I had to stop. This is beautiful and sweet with more scripture woven in. Loved it!

I just reviewed The Songbird of Hope Hill by Kim Vogel Sawyer. #TheSongbirdofHopeHill #NetGalley

This is a captivating story of over-coming hopelessness and poor choices, personal and family challenges and never losing hope. It is also a story of love. Beautifully written this novel is hard not to like.

I was so excited when I seen this book that I had to have it. Wow! I loved every minute of this book!
Sawyer has really outdone herself on this one!
Each of the main characters has their own chapter but the way Sawyer has written this one you'd never know it! It flowed smoothly without missing a beat.
I absolutely adored Birdie. I loved her kind and caring ways towards others even when they were mean to her. For all that she went through she held up remarkably well.
Birdie's story made me want to cry in some places. Some were sad tears while others were happy ones for me.
We need more men like Preacher Overly. He was my favorite character. I loved his wife too. She has the patience of Job so to speak.
I like how Preacher Overly tells Birdie that God puts us where He needs us to be at the right time. For God has a plan for each one of us.
Birdie is a special girl said Preacher Overly. The time will come when she is ready and she will know through God's help by praying and seeking His counsel.
My heart went out to Ephraim. I knew just how he felt. I've been there. He's a good guy. I connected to him through that.
I finished this book in one afternoon because I loved and enjoyed it so much I didn't want to put it down.
I can't wait for another one from Sawyer.
I'll be adding this one to my shelf next year when it comes out.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
