Their Burden to Bear by Heather Tabers

Their Burden to Bear completely blew me away. This is the first book I have read written by Heather Tabers, and I am so excited to read more books written by her. The story pulled me in from the start, and I could not put it down. Elsie and Phillip both have their own burdens to bear. Elsie feels shackled to her father. Having promised her mother to take care of her father. When her sister dies during childbirth, she promises to take care of her nephew. Left with so much to take care of and a father who doesn’t seem to care about her. Reading about what she went through made me tear up. It made me so sad. Phillip is a WWI veteran with his own secrets. As the story goes along, his secrets are revealed. If you love historical fiction, this is the book for you. This story is rich in history. I loved learning about these soldiers who were body bearers for the Unknown Soldier. The author’s note gave some great details, and I loved the bonus content that was included with the book. This marriage of convenience romance is kisses only. Heather Tabers did a great job of intertwining faith throughout the novel. *I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from the author. A positive review was not required. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
