What Once Was Lost by Kim Vogle Sawyer

Christina Willems has taken over running the poor farm in late 1800's Kansas.  When the farmhouse catches fire, no one is hurt, but Christina scrambles to find homes for herself and the residents until the house can be rebuilt.  The last child to find a home is the blind boy, Tommy.  The only one who will take him in is the handsome but reclusive mill owner, Levi.  As Christina's problems multiply she is surpized to find that Levi steps in to help out.  She wonders what has made him a loner, and marvels at how Tommy blooms with a positive male rolemodel. As one challenge follows another, Christina wonders if the poor farm will ever be rebuilt, and her life return to normal.  She also begins to wonder if she wants it to.

Ok, here is another historical Christian romance.  I would say it was above average.  Yes, it is sappy and meladramatic, but the writing is pretty good otherwise and the characters are likeable and believable. No world class bronco riders or crazy rich English dukes here.  I think I need to put Ms Sawyer on my prefered historical romance writers list. (359 p. 2013)
