Even in the midst of adversity, love and faith
can flourish.
As the formation of Glacier National Park takes
Eleanor Briggs and her conservationist father on a journey west to advocate for
public lands, her heart carries the weight of a painful past. Since the death
of her mother, she has spent her life traveling the country with her father and
helping him with his work, but now he's considering settling down and writing a
book--and she's not sure what that means for her future.
Carter Brunswick faces trials of his own when
the Great Northern Railway's departure threatens his family's livelihood and
the entire town of Kalispell. In the visiting conservationist's daughter,
Ellie, he finds a spirited woman who challenges his convictions in ways he
never anticipated, and his own dreams for the future begin to change.
When tensions over the railroad's departure
boil over, Ellie and Carter are drawn together on a daring journey that tests
the depths of their feelings and their faith in God.
My Thoughts:
With Each Tomorrow
by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse is a heart wrenching story of the
beginnings of what would become Glacier National park. With each appearance,
Peterson and Woodhouse craft characters that are enduring and transformative.
The main characters of Eleanor and Carter come to argumentative in their first
meeting. As the story moves along, Eleanor learns to trust God and find peace
in him again. As for Carter, he learns that he needs to trust God more with his
future plans. Also, I love the setting of Kalispel, Montana. I love the
wilderness and the coming town that has expanded and does not want anything to
happen to its population and job growth. As for the plot, the dual authors
create a little bit of mystery along with the historical aspects of the story.
More historical writers are including mystery elements in their plots, and I
love this idea. Gives the story a little more to look forward to. Overall, With
Each Tomorrow by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse is a delightful
story to spend time with. Readers will be transported to early twentieth
century Montana and swept away by the relationships and the historical aspects
of the story.
I received a complimentary copy of With Each
Tomorrow by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse from Bethany House Publishing,
but the opinions stated are all my own.
