Enjoyed this, quite different from other historical novels I have read.Art is a central theme in this book, while I don't have much of an appreciation for art, it did not make this book any less enjoyable, in fact, the vivid descriptions helped me to somewhat imagine how lavish Belmont Mansion wa...

This was a good book but not one that i stayed up late or couldn't put down kind of book. I like how it shows that good christian women can be independent w/o a husband but that having a husband is something special and good, not a requirement. Also, I like that strong feelings of physical attra...
I was really excited to discover this book as I was browsing through the A’s in our library (looking to see if I could quickly spot any more Lynn Austin books — always love those). The beautiful cover caught my eye and I noted that it was published by Bethany House (a Christian publisher). I pull...

He was going to take Grady Polk alive and, if he could help it, without injury. Wyatt peered around the edge of an old mining shack in time to see Polk raise his gun, then he ducked in case Polk’s aim had gotten any better.
