ABOUT THE BOOK
Life seems to be falling into place for Deborah Vandermark. On the cusp of finally marrying Christopher, the man who claimed her heart, she is devastated when he receives an urgent telegram. Bound to his family obligations, Christopher travels to Kansas City, uncertain of what he will find there.
When her fiancé returns to Texas, Deborah is faced with a very different future than she expected. She finds herself plagued with questions and uncertainty...about marriage, motherhood, and her passion to train as a physician. And when an old adversary reveals a contract that may spell ruin for Vandermark Logging, Deborah's life seems to be spiraling out of control. Can Christopher and Deborah find a way to claim the future they long to share when so much stands in the way?

Kay's Comments: Tracie Peterson is a great author. Sometimes I find her writing among the best and other times it is uninspiring. Unfortunately, this book is among the later. While an interesting premise, the story lags, in part to the fact this is the fourth in the series. Too much time is spent in the first few chapters catching up the reader to the storyline. The storyline is incorporated in subtle ways as to make it a nice stand alone book but it drags.
If you love books by Tracie Peterson, I suggest you begin at the beginning of the series. It's a nice story, just a bit slow for me.
Ironically, I must add, that if I did not have some of the best authors, including some of Tracie's books themselves, to compare it, I would see this as a more enjoyable, well writen book. The competition is stiff.
