Tracie Peterson has written a beautiful book that features a rich and vibrant history not just for Oregon City but what happened at the Whitman Mission where men and women and children were slaughtered. Her descriptions are crisp and clear. Her writing style shows how well she understands her characters and her understanding of history. While it is a fictional account of several people she's adding to the narrative, she does so with an artist's touch.
Tracie Peterson has written over one hundred novels and was a recipient of the 2011 American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) Lifetime Achievement Award. She has a love for history and research that fuels her bestselling stories.
I received a copy of this book from Bethany House for my honest review.
