Treasured Grace (#01 in Heart Of The Frontier Series)

A wonderful story. Together with a major problem with the local Indians which turned into a massacre there is still time for love and God's word plays a large part in that. It is very encouraging to read a story seeing people live in faith and trust. After suspense, sadness and joy we enjoy a very happy ending. good read.

Loved the intensity of this story, I was hooked right from the start. I experienced so many emotions while reading this compelling novel. The story is based on the hardships and struggles that people faced going out West and the tensions between the settlers and the Indians, which the Author has so wonderfully written. It is a moving story that also inspires the reader with encouragement words from the Bible. This story will Capture your Heart, I am looking forward to reading book 2 in this series.

Although this was a hard book to read as it dealt with a historical event that actually happened it was so well written that it is hard to put down. Tracie Petersen has seamlessly put fictional characters into it in such a way that she deals with the deep questions of where is God when evil things happen and how do you move forwarded after intense suffering, very authentically. I loved the three sisters, Grace, Hope and Mercy and look forward to reading Hope and Mercy's stories.

3. 5 stars \\r\\n\\r\\nThis book is easy to read, it flows well and is captivating from start to finish. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis is the first book in three and it follows the story of Grace the eldest of three sisters. In this book you will find heartache, love, loss, tragedy, faith, and trust. \\r\\n\\r\\nPlease note that there are some subjects in this book that are not suitable for children or young teens to read. I would suggest you read the book before passing it on to someone younger as to determine if suitable.

Tracie has woven another wonderfully enjoyable story. Grace Martindale marries so that she and her sisters can join the wagon train heading west.

A wonderful story.
