Helpful Score: 1
A compelling historical novel about the the life and family of Horatio Gates Spafford who wrote the lyrics of the well-loved hymn: It is well with my soul. Very well written, interesting, really drew me into their lives. It starts with a terrifying account of running from the great Chicago fire. I enjoyed the great character sketches about the famous preacher D.L. Moody. The book makes we want to read the rest of her "Music of the Heart" series on great Christian hymns.
