review 1: Heather Blanton has written one of the best books I've ever read in Lady in Defiance. It has the perfect pace of attraction between the characters that keeps you interested the entire time. The characters are very well developed and I was able to identify with the struggles of Naomi especially. She's a passionate woman who finds balancing her temper and her compassion for others. It is a beautifully written book that I will definitely tell my book club about! I can't wait to read the second book!
review 2: This book tells the story of three sisters who while travelling in America to a new life are struck by tragedy and are forced to rethink their destination. They end up in a small mining town called Defiance which isn't sure what to make of refined Christian ... moreladies being more used to the 'flowers' who 'entertain' the miners.Along the way the realise that living a Christian life in this environment is nothing like what they have previously experienced and constantly come up against opposition, not least in the shape of McIntyre who runs the local saloon and makes money from it and his flowers.I was greatly moved by this book which had me in tears on more than one occasion when the sisters realise how much God is working in their new-found home and how much they were destined to be there.Defiance seems like an allegory of the world today and we as Christians must try in our own small way to be light and salt in what can be harsh times.At times I felt it was a little simplistic but I liked that no-one including the sisters was perfect but all had flaws.A great read and I look forward to more by the author. less
