About the Book: A young widow nursing the wounds of her past…A cowboy with demons of his own…
Though grateful for the blessing of her daughter, Carissa Lowe has accepted that widowhood is her lot in life. Bound by fear and mistrust, she feels incapable of opening her heart again.
Tyler Atherton
has never forgotten Carissa. When he discovers she’s living with her
sister on a nearby ranch, his life becomes intertwined with the lovely
widow’s. And Carissa’s daughter, Gloria, seems determined to wrap
herself around his little finger. But while Tyler longs to provide a
home and future for Carissa, he is haunted by an obligation he feels
unable to fulfill.
Challenged by mounting hardships,
can Carissa and Tyler preserve their fledgling love in a land as
unforgiving and vibrant as the people who call it home?
My Thoughts: Historical fiction is definitely one of my favourite genres and this one hit the nail on the head once again, not a surprise for anyone who's read Tracie Peterson's work before.
This book deals with some serious issues, but does not come off as heavy at all. I love it when authors accomplish that - when something that feels almost like mindless entertainment, ends up providing you with wonderful food for thought. This book is about healing, about giving your pain to God, and about love being a risk worth taking.
