Welcome to the Blog Tour for Finding Juniper by Cindy Thomson, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: Finding Juniper
Author: Cindy Thomson
Publisher: Emerald Path Press
Release Date: January 2, 2025
Genre: Christian Fiction, Historical Fiction

For Patrick Doyle, the claim that time heals all wounds is a cruel lie. 

In 1920, returning from WWI, Paddy finds Ireland creeping toward civil war. Invisible borders separate people, including Paddy and his pregnant girlfriend. With few prospects, Paddy sails to America. However, America is far from the land of opportunity he’d hoped for. And worse, his girl refuses to follow him because of her political involvement. 

Thirty years later, Patrick has moved on with his life, building a new family. A letter arrives, suggesting the child he’d assumed died may be alive. Patrick’s American daughter Mardell pushes him to find out what happened to her sister, named Juniper. Patrick anxiously sails to Ireland. 

Juniper endured a childhood in institutions, and when she’s released, she moves on without the parents who left her. Operating an apothecary out of an inherited cottage where villagers are slow to trust outsiders, Juniper finally finds a home when her grandmother arrives. Just as she feels comfortable and content, her father shows up at her door, bringing shocking news about her mother. 

Finding Juniper invites readers on a journey of confronting the past, healing from old traumas, and redefining what family truly means.  

Christian Historical Fiction is one of my favorite genres. Finding Juniper by Cindy Thomson is the latest book in this genre that I have read. 

WOW, I was captivated by the storyline from the very beginning. The main characters in this book are Patrick "Paddy" Doyle and Juniper. Patrick returns to Ireland after WWII and had hoped to settle back into Life in Ireland. He is disappointed when he is separated from his Pregnant girlfriend due to the ongoing war. Patrick heads to America and makes a life for himself with a Family and Wife. The story picks up 30 years later when Patrick discovers the daughter in Ireland might be alive. He flies to Ireland at the urging of his Daughter. Juniper, his daughter in Ireland, has had a rough life and now has settled into running her own business. She was surprised when her Dad shows up at her Door. Patrick and Juniper share many things about their lives and what has happened since he was last in Ireland. The storyline really gets real here and the fact that they are able to start a relationship after many decades apart was so heartwarming. The bond that happened between Patrick and Juniper was all about forgiveness and being able to look toward the future. The story is about Wartimes, Forgiveness, Family and Faith. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Fiction. WONDERFUL BOOK!
