MY REVIEW:
Genre | Tropes: Historical Fiction, Christian, Western
Rating: 4 out of 5 ⭐
What I loved most about this book was it’s central focus on prayer and support of others. in when faced with the most heartbreaking of situations. Once in a while, it’s an absolute pleasure to read a Christian romance novel that really emphasizes the need for prayer and how those actions bring a joy to oneself and others.
The character of Laura is independent, intelligent and very in tune with those around her. Even though she was raised in boarding schools and is returning to her father’s side, really having to get to know him all over again, she catches on quickly to the atmosphere around her. Everything seems to be perfect, but there is a darkness lurking beneath her father’s mood swings and occasional actions.
Her growing friendship with a local preacher, Wilson, was perfectly written. They are allowed that beautiful experience of slowly getting to know one another and become close friends without the distraction of attraction. It’s not until Wilson is starting to heal from his injuries that he really starts to see Laura and something more is possible.
I also love books that are set in Cheyenne, for some reason, there is always this unique feeling I get when reading books that take place in this area. I’m not sure if it’s the location irrelevant of the time frame, or these time frames, but I love the Western Frontier setting! A time of great anguish, discovery of self, and a path to follow for every person!
