Book Review: "The Forgotten Gift" By Kathleen McGurl

 First and foremost thank you goes out to everyone who had a hand in gifting this gorgeous ARC in exchange for this honest review.

I was truly enamored by the intensity, the passion, the heated debates, the love, and the devotion of these characters that were remarkable in their ways for their historical significance.

It began with the last will and testament of George who bequeath lovely jewels and gems for the Chaplain of the Prison's wife but the question readers ponder is why and how does he know the chaplain of a prison.

More importantly how did he get locked up for the sudden death of the love of his life-Lucy- after her poisoning-when he was head over heels for her.



We then progress to meeting Cassie in the present day form and wonder about her overall significance to this powerful story.

She happens to be a happy genealogist who uncovered a treasure trove of information pertaining to her great-great- great-grandfathers will in England.

As if this wasn't enough to hook you in Kathleen McGurl ratchets up an intriguing dual timeline back to 1861 in which Lucy and George meeting at the Bitten Mansion.

However, they are not merely the lone party as there's so much to this story that's been hidden concerning several of those working at the mansion and surrounding consequences of some devious acts.

This feels like a two-fer in which you receive two powerful gems for the price of one with both glowing equally bright.

What will one do for the power of love? Or better yet, what will one do to hide the family's most valued secrets?

I loved everything about this including the wonderfully written and beautifully choreographed segments within this entire storyline.

Thank you to Kathleen McGurl, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
