The Captive Heart is book two in the Daughters of Caleb Bender series by Dale Cramer. It’s an ongoing saga of a family, the Benders, who have fled their home in Ohio for religious freedom. They move to Mexico to a land called Paradise Valley. In this second book, the Bender family is joined by other families and more trouble from bandits. The Benders deal with much heart ache and pain in The Captive Heart and ultimately, Miriam is has to make a decision that can rip her heart in two.
I had a hard time getting into this book. The first four or five chapters seemed to go slow for me. However, once I got into it, I couldn’t put it down. There were several parts that really caught my attention spiritually and even struck up discussion in my home. It was a blessing to me! I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I just can’t wait to find out how it all pans out.
