Tobogganing for Two by Darlene Franklin

Carrie Reviews Darlene Franklin's Tobogganing for Two part of the Love's Sporting Chance collection by Forget-Me-Not Romances. 

Five Stars *****

This was a wonderful Christian historical romance set in the 1870s.  Darlene's novella is also part of the Sporting Chance collection.  I read this book as part of the collection and enjoyed it very much! It is a nice easy evening read leading up to Christmas. Highly recommend! 

Blurb: Laura Evans moves to Plymouth, Nebraska, to take care of her aunt and her paralyzed sister. Dr. Jay Andrews has come to Plymouth to escape his work among those wounded during the Civil War—only to be faced with a paralyzed patient. Laura and Jay clash as they face fears from their past. Will a midnight toboggan ride bring them together, or push them further apart? 

CFP: Ms. Franklin did a great job setting up the Evans sisters arrival in Nebraska, to stay with their aunt, who also has some physical limitations. Laura has been caring for her sister, who is paralyzed from the waist down, by herself.  Dr. Andrews is a young physician who has served in the Civil War. He has a heart for people with disabilities and thinks of ways to accommodate them. Jay has set up the aunt's home to be disability friendly as is his office. He's a very kind soul and easy to see how Laura could quickly fall in love with this wonderful hero!

Bibliotherapy: Great book for those coping with physical disabilities. Particularly a nice book for those who have someone who requires the use of a wheelchair (referred to as a "bath chair" in this story.) Also good for those who struggle with guilt that is impacting their ability to move forward in life.

This novella is looking very good for making my list of Best Bibliotherapy Books of 2015!!!

Giveaway: An ebook copy of Darlene's novella for one of our readers. Answer the question: Do you have a loved one who uses a wheelchair?
