Publisher Description
Bestselling Author Tracie Peterson Launches Exciting New Series Set in 1890s Montana
Emily Carver wants a home where she can put down roots instead of following her gold-hungry father from one mining camp to another. She also longs for tenderness and love, both of which are missing in her life. Yet when she realizes she's losing her heart to the intriguing new man in camp, she fiercely fights her feelings, afraid that love will only result in disappointment and heartache.
Caeden Thibault, a young geologist, comes to Montana to catalog minerals indigenous to the state. He's a serious and guarded young man trying to escape the pain of his past. He has avoided all romantic entanglements, fearing he might become like his abusive father. But something about Emily Carver has caught his attention, something he never expected. . . .
Will these two broken souls allow God to bring healing and hope to their hurting hearts?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Peterson's (All Things Hidden) latest historical Christian fiction novel, set in 1895, follows Emily Carver, the daughter of a gold digger always in search of the next big find. Now that her mother is seriously ill, and with the family facing winter in Yogo City, Mont., Emily finds herself not just geographically isolated, but spiritually isolated as well. Caeden Thibault is a man who never had much time for God. A geologist by trade, wealthy from birth, he's devoted himself to his life's work, which just so happens to bring him to the tiny Montana town. Though Peterson's plotting shows her skill for suspense and surprise, the novel lacks the vibrant characterization that normally distinguishes her stories. The protagonists are curiously flat, only coming to their faith in the novel's final stages. Despite Emily and Caeden's rushed evolution, the excitement and detail of the rural gold rush setting is alone worth the read.
