She just barrels her way through things trying to fix and do and go on her own. There are a couple of times where Johanna is at her breaking point, and she wants help, but she doesn’t even think to trust in God. I often wanted to hug her hard, and then find a way to shoulder some of her burdens for her…the girl really needed a break! Even in this, though, I found I could relate. Johanna really is an excellent heroine, and she managed to worm her way into my heart. She will often work herself to past exhaustion in order to shoulder all of the burdens so her mother’s and ten-year old brother’s needs are met. She is tough and strong, especially in her moral code. Seeing myself in her character made Johanna a very realistic heroine. She believes the lie that she has to work non-stop to fix all her past mistakes, and that she is undeserving of God’s love because of her past fails. Johanna, the heroine of The Innkeeper’s Daughter, is my fictional soul sister. It has everything a reader could want in a story: a James Bond-esque hero, a beautiful but downtrodden heroine, unique and diverse secondary characters, murder, intrigue, and romance.
It is a fast-paced page turner that I hated to put down.

The opinions expressed in this review are my own. I received a review copy of this novel in paperback form from Barbour Publishing. With a full-time job and a very busy five-year old, this book took me four days to read. The Innkeeper’s Daughter (2018) by Michelle Griep is a fantastic stand-alone novel, but it does reference characters from her novel Brentwood’s Ward. This story is available in all forms including eBook, and is 320 pages in length.
