Emily Carter has grown up with a father who hopes for striking it rich in the gold fields leads them from one gold mining camp to another all her life. She desires for a home of her own and a family. She knows she needs to stay with her father and help to care for her dying mother. She can only try to conceal herself from those around her and wonder if he dreams will ever come true. While she does struggle in her day to day life she does make the best of it. She has a hard time accepting help from other, including Caeden.
Caeden Thibault is a young geologist from the east who has come to Montana on a job with the government. He has a past he is trying to escape, a past he wants to leave behind him, and he feels like the place where he has been sent in the perfect place to do just that. He has met several people in the past who all they want is to strike it rich, but when he meets Emily, he meets someone so is the complete opposite of that. He has a desire to help her and to help her father. When troubles arise, he is there to help them through all the hardships they endure.
As Emily and Caeden develop a closer and closer friendship, new discoveries are made. Caeden's past comes back to haunt him. Will they be able to endure it all? Will they also learn to turn to God and fully trust Him and put their faith in Him?
Tracie Peterson has written another wonderful book. I enjoy all of her books and this one was no exception. Tracie does a wonderful job of helping you see each character and the town. I could easily see Emily in her layers she used to disguise her figure, even in the heat of summer. I enjoy how she focuses each of the characters on God and the lessons that God is teaching them as they go through their hardships.
I would definitely recommend this book!
