A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

A Love Transformed (Sapphire Brides #3) - Tracie Peterson

This is the third book in the series.  The others are A Treasure Concealed and A Beauty Refined.

Clara’s husband has been murdered.  While she didn’t love him, she now has to decide what to do with her life.  Her late husband’s brother is showing interest in marrying her, but she’s only ever loved one person, and she’s not marrying without love again.  She takes her children to the one place she was happy: Montana.

Curtis has a rough past.  When his true love, Clara, was torn away from him fourteen years ago, his life went off the rails.  Now, he’s turned his life around, but things aren’t necessarily getting better.  A cave-in at his mine leaves him bedridden with the possibility of never walking again.  Add in the return of Clara and his life is much more complicated.  He wants to save her from being stuck with a crippled man with a past, but she’s not willing to give up easily.

Things get more complicated, since she’s still being pursued by her brother-in-law.  He’s up to no good, and willing to do what it takes to get what he wants.  Clara’s mother also isn’t ready to let her daughter waste her life in the wilds of Montana and is looking for her as well.

I really liked this book.  I looked forward to picking it back up to see what would happen next.  Clara is a strong character, and her kids are great as well.  The story was well written, and I was getting a bit nervous at the end to see how things would turn out.

These can be read out of order since they’re all about different characters.  This is definitely my favorite book of this series.  Good Book!
