My Review
Carrie Fancett Pagels’ writing is one of the reasons I read
historical books. I have enjoyed learning about the history of logging in the
upper peninsula of Michigan. It’s fascinating! Plus, there is always a strong spiritual thread woven seamlessly throughout the story.
Garrett Christy has been my favorite character in this
series. He’s trying to break away from lumberjacking and follow his own calling
as a craftsman. Sometimes that’s difficult in a family business. He’s a great
guy with integrity and honor who loves the Lord and Rebecca knows from past
experience just how magnanimous of a man he is. Speaking of Rebecca, she’s had
some tough life experiences to face and learn to overcome, but with God’s grace,
she is well on her way to becoming the Daughter of the King she is called to
be.
Another great thing I enjoyed about this book is that the
story didn’t end when the villain made his final appearance. There is more
story. Yes!!! I’m glad it wasn’t rushed to an end. I was left with a sense of contentment
in the future of Garrett and Rebecca, and a foretaste of what’s to come for
Richard ‘Moose’ Christy and Juliana. Pagels knows how to finish and finish well!
I’m eagerly anticipating Lilacs
for Juliana, the next book in The
Christy Lumber Camp Series. I was provided a copy of this book for review
purposes. No monetary compensation has been received.
~Happy Reading~
