By Kelly Bridgewater
Six years ago, a
shocking secret sent Agnes Pratt running in search of a new start. She found it
in Penance, a rugged town of miners and lumberjacks in the Dakota Territory,
where she became Miss Aggie, respected schoolteacher and confirmed old maid.
But the past has a way of catching up with people.
When childhood friend and former sweetheart James Harris
accepts a position as the town doctor, Aggie's pleasantly predictable days
suddenly become anything but. James wants to know why Agnes left behind the
life they had dreamed of creating for themselves--but he is the one person who
can never know.
In the shadows of the Black Hills, can a healing light be
shed on the past? Or will the secret Agnes can't seem to outrun destroy her
chance at happiness?
Fan-favorite Rachel Fordham brings to life the dusty streets
of an 1880s frontier town in this story that affirms where you come from
matters far less than where you're going.

My Thoughts:
A Life Once Dreamed by Rachel Fordham is a sweet romance. If it was set in modern time, it would have definitely been labeled as a contemporary romance with the completely predictable ending and plot line. Even though, the story has been done a ton of times, the story mainly my attention until the end when Fordham gave the hero and the heroine the predictable ending. I, for once, would have loved to seen something else happen to the couples besides knowing they are the ones for each other and deciding to spend the rest of their lives together. Fordham does a wonderful job at crafting this story. I believe fans of westerns would enjoy this novel. Fans of Misty Beller, Regina Jennings, and Melissa Jaguers might enjoy this novel too. Not that it was a bad book. Just a little dry for my personal taste.
I received a complimentary copy of A Life Once Dreamed by Rachel Fordham from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Thoughts: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Purchase A Life OnceDreamed
