I really enjoyed reading this!! Oh my goodness! This was the best book that I've read in a long time! I had been reading other books and it was like, "okay I read it,NEXT"! You know what I mean? The storyline of Dawn's Prelude really entranced me from the beginning and I knew I had to finish rea...
I don't usually read books like this. My friend recommended it to me and then bought me the book so I felt like I had to read it. The first 4 chapters were good, but then it got boring. Nothing unexpected happened. There were parts that were supposed to be surprising, but in no way did they surpr...
This is the first book in a new series by Tracie Peterson. I have read other books books by her and have enjoyed them very much. This book read so quickly and I was so sad when it ended, though they already tell you to expect the next book early in 2009. This novel is about three sisters Gwen, Be...

This is 2nd book of The Brides of Gallatin County and it focuses on Beth. She is supposed to be the reader and the romantic one. She is also the brains behind all of the things that happened to poor Hank in the last book..LOL. She is finding it difficult to focus on her own life and issues becaus...

What a wonderful way to close out the series. I only wish that real life could be so happy. Although, I don't believe these characters "lived happily ever after". These stories moved along quite well, and I really grew to love them myself. I cried, laughed, and got excited right along side th...

But Amanda Broadmoor resolves to remain in Rochester to help control the spread of the dread...
I really wanted to like this more than I did, and I have no good reason why I didn't. Perhaps because as far as Christian romance goes, it was just so . . . flat. Even characters I was interested in from the first book couldn't hold my attention (partly because they get so little screen time). ...

Well done to Tracie for writing about how Mental Illness affects a family.three sisters seeking truth about what happened in their lives 15 years ago and having a father who supported materially but not himself.

Deborah and Christopher's love is growing, but his secrets might turn one of them from the ...
I had heard of this book in the series by Tracie Peterson, "Land of Shining Water" for some time now. I had heard how good they were and I'd been anticipating on reading them for a pretty long while. I'm glad that I had a chance to read this one and hopefully I'll be able to read the rest!I finis...
Ever since I started reading ‘adult’ novels, I have loved Tracie Peterson’s books. They are some of my favorites and I have never been disappointed by any of them. They are always well written and the storylines are amazing. With that being said, I loved this book from the first page to the last....

I thought this book would be more about what a 'Harvey Girl' did in the 1800's. A man named Harvey started restaurants next to train depots in the US and had girls go through a 3 month training before they were hired at a Harvey house to bus tables, clean, and cook. They were very famous becuas...
really interesting story ruined by self-absorbed "me me me" charactersThe book is actually really good in many aspects, however, I experienced an overwhelming urge to punch the female protagonist (and the "hero" requires a kick up the backside), hence this is getting a 1*. ====================The...
I feel that I have been cheated. The book ends, and nothing is resolved, the ribbons are still not in a bow, they are flying free. Which leaves me dissatisfied. I liked Jordana, she was a free spirit. I even liked G.W. yes, he did behave like a child when disappointed. But his pride was dealt a h...
This book actually contains 4 different Novels, the first two have some of the same characters but all the stories stand alone. I have enjoyed reading Tracie Peterson for some time now and really enjoyed reading these 4 stories.I felt like all the characters in each story were well rounded, excit...
THis book had a very interesting and novel plot. Jana's mother's is what compelled me to continue reading this book.However, for me, there became a point at which I found that too many things had happened to one charachter to be believable. I also really had trouble with some of the reactions or ...
The first half of the book was a little boring - so much bitterness and anger. But after about half of the book, I started seeing the good "life lessons" you could learn from what the author was writing about. George teaches Jamie about being "honorable". Forgiveness is a big theme. Life is not a...
I probably should have given this book 4 stars as it had a lot of intrigue and adventure....It was the story of a family on a ranch that had been left to the wife by an Uncle. The uncle had been married to an Indian and at that time you could not leave property to them, in fact most people tried...
After reading a Garrison Keillor humorous book, then a Jeff Shaara tome on the Civil War, I was ready for something a little more spiritual. I had seen books by Peterson advertised in "The Lutheran" magazine and had wanted to try one. I was really disappointed in this book. I thought it read l...

To start with, I don't think this was a bad book. I found the premise interesting and was eager to dive into it.There were a few things I took issue with within the first few chapters. I found Grace's mother to be inconsistent, going from who she was when we meet her in the first few pages to who...
