Song of My Heart, by Kim Vogel Sawyer, takes place in 1895 Kansas. The main character, Sadie Wagner, is a sweet, determined young lady who is working hard to earn money to help her parents back in Indiana. It's her first time on her own and she has big dreams of a singing career. The Goldtree "opera house" appears to be her big break but somehow Sadie gets mixed up in some trouble... I liked Sadie and the whole premise of the book and admired her good intentions but sometimes she made me want to scream due to her naivete! Thad McKane, the sheriff, has an interesting and mysterious past which was fun to discover as the story developed. I did feel that some of the supporting characters such as Sid Wagner, Miss Melva and Miss Shelva were a bit grating as they were a little too "over the top" for my taste. Song of My Heart is a sweet love story with a heart for the Lord!

Sadie Wagner has always been devoted to her family. So when her stepfather is injured and can't work, she decides to leave home and accept a position as a clerk at the mercantile in Goldtree, Kansas. Goldtree also offers the opportunity to use her God-given singing talent--though the promised opera house is far different from what she imagined. With her family needing every cent she can provide, Sadie will do anything to keep her job.
McKane comes to Goldtree at the request of the town council. The town has been plagued by bootlegging operations, and Thad believes he can find the culprit. Thad is immediately attracted to the beautiful singer who performs in Asa Baxter's unusual opera house, but when he hears her practicing bawdy tunes, he begins to wonder if she's far less innocent than she seems. And when Sadie appears to be part of the very crimes he's come to investigate, is there any hope the love blossoming between them will survive? Purchase a copy here.
