“A beautiful, emotionally moving tale of healing, forgiveness, and love’s ability to overcome all barriers. Prepare for a late night as you near the end because this story grips you tight and wont let go.” ~ Kristi Ann Hunter, award-winning author of An Elegant Facade and A Lady of Esteem?
“A delectable love story, seasoned with war, epidemics, prejudice, faith, and the beauty of finding healing in the Lord amidst the most broken of circumstances. A book you won’t want to miss!” ~ Roseanna M. White, author of the Ladies of the Manor Series
“Pepper Basham has penned a story that not only entertains but calls readers to examine their hearts for prejudice and move toward compassion. Full of romance and sweet family, The Thorn Healer’s strongest component might just be the hero who tends to the heroine’s heart with a steadfast, pursuing love. Not only was I won over by the hero’s gentleness, but I ached for the heroine, whose wounds kept her from receiving his love, that is until... well, you’ll have to read and find out for yourself. High on romantic chemistry, tenderness, and rich historical research, The Thorn Healer will leave your heart smiling and your inner romantic swooning.” ~ Sondra Krantz Kraak, author of One Plus One Equals Trouble
Pepper Basham’s gift of storytelling comes home to the Blue Ridge Mountains in her third Penned in Time book. Intriguing history shares the page with a swoon worthy romance and soul-deep touches of grace. In August Reinhold, you will find a hero of heroes and a tender picture of our Savior’s relentless pursuit of our hearts. I’ve read all three of the Penned in Time books, and I’ve loved them all, but this one is my absolute favorite! Framed in Basham’s exquisite prose, this is a novel that will put down roots in your heart and stay a while. ~ Carrie Schmidt, ReadingIsMySuperPower.org, reviewer for Romantic Times, Blog Mistress Extraordinaire
Pepper Basham writes with a passion for story all her own, braiding timeless romance with fascinating history and spiritual inspiration; The Thorn Healer is a lovely example. ~ Rebecca Maney, Avid Reader, Reviewer and Blog Contributor

“A timely story that tackles deep issues of pain, prejudice, and trusting God through the hard times with a grace that will have your heart sighing.” ~ Sarah Monzon, author of The Isaac Project and Finders Keepers
