"The Sisters of Bethlehem Springs series delivers exactly what readers have been waiting for—smart, confident women who are not afraid to defy convention, live their own dreams, and share their lives if the right man comes along. In A Matter of Character, book three in the Sisters of Bethlehem Springs series, it's 1918, and Daphne McKinley, heiress to a small fortune, has found contentment in the town of Bethlehem Springs. But Daphne has a secret. A series of dime novels loosely based on local lore and featuring a nefarious villain known as Rawhide Rick has enjoyed modest popularity among readers. Nobody in Bethlehem Springs knows the man behind the stories ... except Daphne. When newspaperman Joshua Crawford comes to town searching for the man who sullied the good name of his grandfather, Daphne finds herself at a crossroads, reassessing the power of her words, re-thinking how best to honor her gifts, and reconsidering what she wants out of life."

      "Anonymous was a woman." In this case, anonymous is Daphne McKinley, who has been publishing popular dime store novels in 1918 Bethlehem Springs under a male pseudonym. That's the way she wants to keep it, since the villain in her stories is based on a local character. Trouble ensues when newspaperman Joshua Crawford arrives in town and asks her to help him find the man who has been dragging his grandfather's name through the mud. VERDICT This latest title by a winner of the Christy, the RITA, and the Romantic Times Career and Lifetime Achievement award is essential for libraries. It will especially appeal to readers who enjoy heartwarming stories where faith plays a role in character development.

      Although her family is wealthy, Daphne McKinley has moved to the small town of Bethlehem Springs, where she writes Wild West adventure dime novels under the pseudonym D. B. Morgan. Newspaper editor Joshua Crawford has put his life on hold until he can expose the lies that this Morgan fellow has written about the beloved, saintly grandfather who raised him. Once Daphne meets Joshua, it takes a while for her to decide to acknowledge her secret identity. After all, no proper lady would dare pen dime novels in 1918. But when Daphne discovers how serious Joshua is about clearing his grandfathers name, and how important it is to him, she tells the truth about her alter ego and accompanies Joshua on a fact-finding mission. The popular Hatcher has written another inspirational romance, peppered with Bible verses, which should be a big hit with her many readers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
