9781522303473Forgetful scientist Simon Morgan lost his chance with Amity Archer ten years ago. He knows there is no hope…until a sea captain trades a meal for an ancient stone reputed to have the power to give him his heart’s desire. Immediately after pocketing the stone, Simon runs into Amity. Did the ancient artifact cause this chance encounter or was it mere coincidence?

Like her favorite travel writer Mrs. Peabody, Amity Archer yearns for adventure, but she’s horrified when her father asks Simon Morgan to escort her on her first real adventure.

With Amity’s Aunt Clementine as a buffer between them, will Simon be able to prove that his love for Amity is real? Can Amity show Simon that her love for him has nothing to do with a so-called magical rock?

Spoiler alert: The title definitely doesn't fix this novel. There is no mention of a dollmaker. There is a daughter. This is definetly a love story. This story was all based on a stone so much that I felt the book might have been a better read as a fantasy.  After reading this book, I wonder if there is going to be another one.  I did like the end as it revealed that Jesus is our high priest. There is also a devotional moment at the end of the story.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from Izzy

I am a Geographer by degree. So maps and the shapes of the earth fascinate me. It keeps me looking at the ground. Where I live in Virginia we still travel the imprint of colonial roads. Former villages have been swallowed by large urban areas, but the land is still there. Amity Archer travels these roads on the adventure to love in The Dollmaker’s Daughter.

It makes The Dollmaker’s Daughter special to me. I have traveled the roads Amity and Simon cover many, many times. The research for this book kept me up nights reading true accounts of traveler and taverns in colonial times.

I wonder how long Simon puts his hope in a “magical” stone before he trusts the Rock of Ages.
