    Heart of Africa by Marion Ueckermann

    July 2, 2021 in sump'n speshul

     

    When his wife dies in childbirth, Zambian conservationist Simon Hartley pours his life into raising his daughter and his orphan elephants. He has no time, or desire, to fall in love again. Or so he thinks.

    Wanting to escape English society and postpone an arranged marriage, Lady Abigail Chadwick heads to Africa for a year to teach the children of the Good Shepherd Orphanage. Upon her arrival she is left stranded at Livingstone airport…until a reluctant Simon comes to her rescue.

    Now only fears born of his loss, and secrets of the life she’s tried to leave behind, can stonewall their romance, budding in the heart of Africa.

    A Few Reviews:

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this story in the heart of Africa
    Oh goodness, I love it when you get transported to country’s you’ve never been or will never get to through a story! Marion has made me felt like I was really in Africa befriending the precious elephants and making new friends along the way. Through Simon, Chloe and Lady Abigail’s story we get the picturesque views of Africa so warm and vibrant. We also get a heartwarming story, a story of a lost love that leads to a life changing challenge that no one should ever go through. And a story of one trying to find themself. When their worlds collide in the heart of Africa, Gods amazing grace shines through and brings a heartwarming tale for us to love.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Engaging
    I needed, really needed something good to read. Things were tough for me at the time and I needed a distraction, something uplifting yet real and engaging. I had started 2 other books that I just couldn’t read past the first few chapters. The characters just went on and on about there insecurities. Their self absorption repeating the same thoughts , going in circles, over and over , on and on. You get the idea right?
    Then I spied Marion’s name, knew that I had enjoyed other books by her and I was not disappointed this time either. The story was interesting enough to distract me from my own woeful issues, the characters had troubles but didn’t wallow. I was encouraged and uplifted by the portrayal of our loving God and how he is always at work for our good.

    Who am I? The question has Taylor Cassidy journeying from one side of America to the other seeking an answer. Almost five years brings her no closer to the truth. Now an award-winning photojournalist for Wines & Vines, Taylor is sent on assignment to South Africa to discover the inspiration behind Aimee Amour, the DeBois estate’s flagship wine. Mystery has enshrouded the story of the woman for whom the wine is named.

    South African winegrower Armand DeBois’s world is shattered when a car accident leaves him in a coma for three weeks, and his young wife dead. The road of recovery and mourning is dark, and Armand teeters between falling away from God and falling into His comforting arms.

    When Armand and Taylor meet, questions arise for them both. While the country and the winegrower hold a strange attraction for Taylor, Armand struggles with the uncertainty of whether he’s falling in love with his past or his future.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love a good romantic love story that is clean
    Marion Ueckermann is a new author to me. I can’t wait to read another of her books. I love a good romantic love story that is clean, wholesome and I feel good about recommending it to others. The Other You by Marion was a nice easy read. Her description of the vineyards and South Africa was very enticing.

    I really liked this book it had so many great charters in it . I really liked Taylor and Armound I liked their love story and how Taylor would up finding Jesus as her Savior. It had a good Christian story line to it.

    Their outdoor wedding planned for the middle of Africa’s rainy summer, chances are it’ll pour on Mirabelle Kelly’s bridal parade—after all, she is marrying Noah Raines. To make matters worse, the African Rain Queen, Modjadji, is invited to the wedding. Mirabelle must shun her superstitions and place her faith in the One who really controls the weather.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this story!
    A heartwarming and emotional story that reminds us that God never gives us more than we can handle nor does He give us what we cannot handle. All because He is with us all the way! Mirabelle and Noah’s story is a journey of love and life’s battles that remind us to keep dancing, we can overcome. A beautiful, blessed story touching our souls in many ways.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The rain doesn’t dampen the celebration.
    Short and sweet! A delightful story….An outdoor wedding and reception are planned and then the bride gets very concerned that there might possibly be rain. She frets about what to do. The wedding takes place and everything’s good but as you might guess it’s time for the reception to start and the rain starts. Everyone ignores the rain, has a great time and yes, they dance in the rain.
