Product Description

From Library Journal

In this spectacular new series, Morgan, an acclaimed writer of historical and futuristic romances, turns her deft pen to the Christian market to reflect a personal change. Abigail Stanton, who recently lost her husband and child, moves to Culdee Creek to become a housekeeper for Conor MacKay, a man whose previous housekeepers warmed more than dinner. Abby makes it clear that she won't tolerate any disreputable advances on his part, but she feels God led her to this ranch and this family for a purpose. As she grows to love Conor and his daughter, her faith inspires Conor to believe that there might just be something to this idea of religion. This wonderful start is for all collections.

Review

Daughter of Joy is a beautiful story of redemptive love. Abby's walk of faith, sometimes followed by sheer force of will alone, resonated in my heart. And Conor's painful journey back to the safe harbor of a loving and forgiving God brought me to tears. Thank you, Ms. Morgan, for such a memorable read. -- Robin Lee Hatcher, author of The Forgiving Hour

A marvelous storyteller -- Romantic Times

A very talented, innovative author -- Affaire de Coeur

A wonderfully gifted author -- Anastasia Gazette

4.0 out of 5 stars A Joyous Read July 31 2002
By J. Peterson
Format:Paperback
I truly enjoyed this book. Ms. Morgan brought out all aspects of a relationship in this book. Sometimes, the Christian/Inspirational fiction books are stiff and lack a depth to the characters. I was happy to see that this book didn't.

Abby comes to Culdee Creek to be a housekeeper to Conor MacKay and to give lessons to his daughter Beth. This experiences teaches both of them the value of friendship, a kind word, trust and love. There were times the writing brought tears to my eyes because of the vividness of the descriptions.

A wonderful book, and I will be sure to find book 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Daughter of Joy" by Kathleen Morgan May 14 2013
By Brenda Hurley TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Daughter of Joy" is the first book in the "Brides of Culdee Creek" series, taking place in the Colorado district in the year of 1895. This story revolves around - Abigail Stanton, and, Conor MacKay -- both trying to leave behind and forget their pasts. The book captured my attention from the beginning to the very end. Kathleen draws her readers in -- being able to relate to the various characters, who are hurting and running from painful memories. How the characters learn to -- grow, trust again, forgive, and even to even love .... is truly remarkable.
Excitement, drama, action, and more will have you not wanting to put the book down, and most definitely not wanting it to come to an end. Kathleen's books are always Christian-based, historical, fiction romance. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to be caught up in a well-written story.

Everything that happened in life-whether for good or bad, joyous or tragic reasons-held the potential to sanctify and bring one closer to the Lord. Even, Abby realized, the personal pain and horror of loss. In life's catastrophic upheavals, in the self-fragmentation, confusion, and spirit-shattering grief, there was always the hope of rebirth to a new and even better life-a life not of this world but of the Spirit. &quote;

"Faith isn't grounded on emotions. It's grounded on the will. It's grounded in the act of taking up your cross and following the Lord wherever He leads, through good times and bad, through dark days and happy ones. "We're not tested and tempered in good times, Abby." Ella released her hand and sat back in her chair. "Our true test," she said softly, "lies in the dark night of our despair." &quote;
