A Heart Full Of Joy

Abby Merganser believes in rainbows and happy endings. The daughter of the town minister, she is a source of sunshine and laughter for the citizens of Eden's Grove. But there is one thing Abby wants more than anything in the world: the love of Dr. Seth Hendon. Abby has been in love with Seth for as long as she can remember. But he still thinks of her as his little sister's best friend. Clearly, Seth doesn't know what's good for him. So Abby vows to prove she's the perfect prescription. Even if it means making him jealous enough to propose. After all, she's tried everything else. Cooking for him. Managing his life--even when he complains that she's driving him crazy.

A Heart Full Of Sadness
Dr. Seth Hendon has had it with being a doctor. Weary and dispirited after losing a couple of his patients, including his own beloved sister, Seth is ready to sell his practice and leave medicine--and Abby--behind. She's too tempting, too full of life for a dedicated bachelor like himself. But Seth hadn't reckoned on Abby's determination to show him where his heart belongs--with her. No sooner have they set the wedding date than a shocking tragedy occurs, leaving Seth, and the whole town, praying for a miracle....

5.0 out of 5 stars A WONDERFUL STORY! 26 Nov 2000
By Romance-reader - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The best reading choices, I find, are those I buy on impluse. The reason I picked this book was the intriguing blurb on the back cover. I'd just been through a spate of regency historicals and thought this would be a nice change. Glad I did!

Abby and Seth, the main characters, are are so thoroughly developed and empathetic. Their relationship has the closeness borne of a shared sorrow (death of a dear friend and a beloved sister) and the distancing of a love, long unexpressed. You feel the emotions so profoundly as these two struggle through the up and downs of the relationship. Adding to the poignancy are the secondary stories. As is true of most small towns, the inhabitants of Eden's Cove have a shared history. I enjoyed what made this small town interesting and close knit.The storyline doesn't get bogged down in pathos.There is enough gentle humor to add balance. Overall its a wonderful story of faith, hope and love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read! 29 Aug 2004
By a-wish-upon-a-star - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Abby Merganser is determined to marry Dr. Seth Hendon. Unfortunately, Seth seems a little . . . shall we say less than enthusiastic to the idea?

This a really good story. It starts off with a bang - funny, interesting, lots of authentic, historical detail - which is always a plus for me. The characters are funny, the story is fast-paced and heartwarming.

I did not enjoy it, however, and I'll explain why. This story deals - at length - with two people who have long term chronic, and potentially fatal illnesses. Having just lost two close family members after a very long and painful illness, I found this book simply too sad, it brought up so many bad memories, and I found those parts of the book painful to read.

So, this is my synopsis - this is a fun, fast-paced book, with a heartwarming ending - however, if this kind of story (long term chronic illness) will bring up bad memories for you, you may want to skip it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming 13 Sep 2000
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In the latter half of the nineteenth century in Eden's Grove, Iowa, optimist Abby Merganser seems to always obtain her goals in spite of being the looniest of a loony family. Currently, Abby works at the Weekly Herald, but her strategic objective is to marry the man she loves, Dr. Seth Hendon. However, Seth sees Abby as a close friend of his younger sister.

As part of her campaign, Abby begins to show up everywhere that Seth goes including his office. Seth continues to reject her. He is bone tired after losing a few patients. Seth not only is thinking of quitting the medical profession, but of simply leaving town. Still, the persistent Abby refuses to allow her soul mate to retire from life.

A HEART FULL OF MIRACLES is a wonderful Americana romance that vividly brings alive a piece of our heritage. The exciting story line works because the authentic tidbits are fully interwoven into the plot. The lead characters are a charming pair of opposites as Abby is full of life's vigor while Seth struggles with depression. As she has done with her previous novels like THE COURTSHIP and A KISS TO DREAM ON, Stephanie Mittman makes nineteenth century America a one-sitting affair.
