Reviews

One of the things I loved most was how she carried truth with her in such a gentle, steady way. Her pastor's reminder is rich with wisdom for any generation... ""The ten commandments and the prophets and all of the law functioned as a schoolmaster to bring folks to the knowledge that they needed."" And then her mother's quiet counsel ... the kind you can almost hear in your own mother's voice: ""Do not say you will never do something ... the good Lord may have other plans."" These lines, and so many more scattered throughout the book, felt like anchors for the story and for my life. And then there's Luke. A frontiersman doing everything he can to hold a family together - three boys of his own and four children left by his sister. The weight he carries is real, yet he shoulders it with a quiet strength that made me love him right away. He's protective, weary, tender beneath the surface, and unsure how to let anyone close again. His first clash with Sayler feels almost destined, but underneath their stubbornness is a longing neither one of them knows how to name yet. Readers who cherish stories filled with real faith and real love will feel this one settle deeply into their heart. I carry stories with me, but only the ones rooted in God's Word carry me closer to Him ... and just like in every book I've read of Lisa M. Prysock, the chapter epigraphs reach straight into the quiet places of my heart, opening each chapter with truth that feels prayed over and poured out, reminding me why her writing means so much to my life and to my walk with the Lord. __ What a lively return to the 1830s Idaho Territory for another exciting frontier adventure with the folks from the small town of Ford's Promise! This story features devoted schoolteacher Sayler Rainier and rugged frontiersman Luke MacLaine, a widower with seven children in his charge (three of his own and 4 nieces and nephews). The couple's interactions blend conflict with underlying attraction, making for a compelling slow building romance. Merging with the sweet romance are a well-paced storyline with plenty of drama and emotion, endearing characters, an atmospherically rich western setting, and an inspiring faith thread resulting in an engaging, entertaining Christian historical romance read. __ What a beautiful ride Ms. Prysock takes us on, with new characters, heroine and hero, and several of the older and beloved characters from the previous books in this amazing series. I absolutely love this book, and I hope, if you haven't already read it, that you will read it asap.
