About the Book:

Josh Donnelly has a steady life of good habits, small carvings, and the rhythm of Church Street, until a wrapped bundle appears on his doorstep on the coldest night of the year. The baby—quiet, insistent, and utterly unexpected—pulls Josh out of his carefully ordered world and straight into the messy business of parenting. When authorities question how the child arrived, secrets from Peculiar’s past surface: a long-buried death, a scarred family history, and whispers that force Josh and the woman who brought the baby to town into the spotlight.

As gossip swirls and legal hands close in, Josh must learn to be braver than he ever thought possible—tending grit as much as grace, trusting a bit more than he fears, and loving in spite of uncertainty. With a mastiff named Hoss at his heels and Heather Thomas by his side, he discovers that home is not a place you inherit; it’s a life you build, one small miracle at a time. 

My Thoughts:

I’ve read a couple of books by Angela Hunt and the cover of this one captured my imagination. The story was real, both in its trouble and in its triumph. I appreciated the character development, getting to really know both Josh and Heather. It was a story that I looked forward to picking up again each time I had to set the book down. With several unexpected twists and turns along the way A Most Peculiar Providence is a story about forgiveness, hope and learning how to live fully and freely.

I received a free digital copy of this book and have given my honest opinion.
