They must uncover the truth before it's buried forever.

After witnessing a wrongful conviction as a young girl, Rebecca Whitman--the first female court reporter in Montana--is now determined to defend the innocent. During a murder trial, something doesn't sit well with her about the case, but no one except the handsome new Carnegie librarian will listen to her.

Librarian Mark Andrews's father sent him to college hoping he would take over the business side of the family ranch, but Mark would rather wrangle books than cows. When a patron seeks help with research in hopes of proving a man's innocence, Mark is immediately drawn to her and her cause.

In a race against time, will Rebecca and Mark find the evidence they need--and open their hearts to love--before it's too late?

Marilyn's thoughts: Peterson and Woodhouse penned a well written and researched tale thundering with emotion, descriptive writing to visualize the historical setting and events in

Kalispell, Montana. This Christian historical fiction was filled with new beginnings for Kalispell.

 

The opening of the new Carnegie library found Mark excited to be the director despite objection from his father.  Rebecca arrived to be the first court stenographer from Chicago. Their first encountered might not ended well but the transpiring events led to unexpected twists and turns. The dimensional characters

were respected members of the community with a league of women heading groups to further the rights of women in the western territory. 

 

This heartwarming Christian historical fiction is filled with history, action, faith,  mystery, beautiful gentle Gospel message, importance of family and romance. I’ll be abiding my time for the next book in The Jewels of Kalispell. I highly recommend this book to all fans of Christian historical fiction. Woodhouse and Peterson are a dynamic author team for the best in the genre.

 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House without any obligation to write a positive review. I have expressed my own thoughts.
