Endorsements

In A Not So Persistent Suitor, Sandra Merville Hart crafts a sweet tale of a budding romance on the rocks. One ill-planned choice on Ben’s part releases a cascade of trouble that sets his girl, Cora, on her heels and forces the pair to rebuild trust. Through various lessons, they each learn they have many areas in which to grow. You won’t want to miss this heartwarming story of love nearly lost—and found again—as two wounded hearts navigate turbulent times and circumstances in 1884 Cincinnati.

~Jennifer Uhlarik, author of Sand Creek Serenade and Love’s Fortress

Hart’s careful research and attention to detail catapults the reader into the social stratification of southwestern Ohio in the 1880’s. As both a former kindergarten teacher and a farmer’s daughter, I was immediately drawn into the story of love and the mores of nineteenth century society. I trust A Not So Persistent Suitor will prove to be a satisfying read for generations to come.
