Wings of a Dove marks the first time I’ve read a book by Elaine Barbieri, a rather prolific author, I discovered, who’s been published in the romance genre for over thirty years. It’s an epic tale that spans fourteen years in the lives of our hero and heroine, starting with their trip west on an orphan train when he’s fifteen and she’s just ten. They become inseparable friends, brought together by a religious medal that connects Delaney to his past and his father’s memory and that Allie believes has spiritual power. They come to rely on each other and understand each other in a way others don’t, and when they are older, they realize they’re in love, but circumstances and misunderstandings separate them for a time before they finally find their way back to one another. This was also, I believe, the first time I’ve read a story centering around the orphan trains, which got it off to an interesting start. I also enjoyed the spiritual aspect, as well as the friends to lovers trope, which is a favorite of mine. Where the story kind of faltered a bit for me was in the execution of the conflicts, which I sometimes felt were overdone to the point of being somewhat oppressive. But overall, I enjoyed the book in spite of what, IMHO, was slight misstep.
