Wonderful historical story with beautiful locations and fabulous characters. An original storyline with enough surprises to keep you turning the pages. The Christian messages within this story are beautiful and important reminders. This book was provided through NetGalley, the authors and publisher. The opinions expressed are my own.

A sweet faith-filled from story from two of the best in the business. Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse transport the reader to another time and place. I truly enjoyed the storytelling and especially the faith story of the main character. Seeing her lose her faith and find that lost hope in the King again was really inspiring for those who have gone through loss and anger. I really liked Ellie's character.

Thank you to Bethany House and #netgalley for a copy of this book to read, all thoughts are my own.

Eleanor Briggs has struggled with God over his mother's death for ten years. When she accompanies her father to Kalispell, Montana to advocate for a national park, they meet a town in chaos over the rerouting of the railroad. Among these citizens are generous, kind people who seek to reflect the love of Jesus and one colorful matron determined to match her up to Carter Brunswick, who family owns a wheat farm.
Carter has long wanted a wife and children, and Ellie catches his attention more than any other woman. But she is rejecting God and hates private land ownership in favor of conservation. They often bicker about everything from God to private farmland.
Meanwhile, railroad workers are determined to derail the plans to relocate the railroad. Some are willing to kidnap and kill to make a point.
Love the unique characters and their sweet friendships and family relationships. Love the dog. Great landscape descriptions. Ellie did seem a bit slow to understand that thousands if acres of farmland are needed to feed thousands of people. I enjoyed the messages about how God cares when we hurt. The intense focus on marriage became annoying, between Marvella's relentless matchmaking, the comment to Carter that "it is not good for man to be alone," (he's not alone. He has family and friends. God said that when there was literally only one human on earth) and his statement about a wife being "the greatest gift ever" (salvation is the greatest) and that a wife "completes him" (our identity needs to be in God, not in another person. The two become one, as they say, not two halves). I did sympathize with one villain. I wish he made better decisions! Good book.

This historical fiction book kind of started off slow the first chapter or two but picked up after that. I love the story of a father and daughter trying to find their way to some sort of normalcy after just being nomads because of the nature of her father’s job. He helps with the formation of National parks and wants to preserve the land. She’s gone to college to learn all about it to help her father along. The fact that Ellie’s father starts to question if he stopped her from having her own life after her mother died by having her travel with him, shows that he might’ve taken her for granted at times. That’s when they reach the town of Kalispell, Montana.

In Kalispell, Ellie and her Dad both decide it’s time to settle down. In the meantime, Ellie meets Carter, who she thinks is rude and unruly. Come to find out, he’s not so bad after all. But Carter soon find out that Ellie is struggling with her faith and that he has to hold back on his attraction for her. In the process he learns how to be a better friend and pray for her.

I love how With Each Tomorrow shows the real struggle people have when they start to doubt or question God for taking away someone they love! Marcella and Carter’s mother are such a huge influence on Ellie and how she is able to return to her faith. Tracie Peterson and Kimberly Woodhouse do a beautiful job of showing the character of God throughout the book and how He really does want a loving relationship with you. The journey Ellie and her Father both go on is one many people who have lost a loved one can empathize with. This is the second book in this series, but it can stand alone. I hadn’t read the first one and now it makes me want to go read it!

It was so nice to be back in Kalispell! I had the pleasure of reading book one in this series last year and was highly anticipating this upon its release. Spoiler: it did not disappoint!

The faith in here was very well done as Ellie grapples with feeling like God hates her or dealing with the battling of the Lord for him not saving her mother when she was younger. Her mother was a faith filled woman and so this hit her even more as the events unfolded at that time. As someone who lost their mother two years ago, I understood deeply certain things shes mentioned in the grieving part of that at least. Her conversations with Marvella were honest and a joy to witness, as Marvella has a heart of gold but is quite the force herself.

The romance in here was well done too if you're in it for that part but I won't spoil the who / what / how of it all - but its one that makes me smile.

One of the best things about this world for me is the writing and the imagery. These authors know how to paint a vivid picture and whether we are on the train or the land you can see it all. The way the history is described really made me understood some of the struggles this community would be facing as the line was in jeopardy of moving or the land was dealing with its own issues as society advances and Ellie as a conservationist is dealing with her own views on this all too. The authors do this in a way that makes you care and is informative but isn't too much/dense (which I personally appreciate as I'm not a huge buff in that area). I loved learning about these events as the story went on and that alone is saying a lot.

If you've read the first one our good friend Sir Theodophilis is back (the dog, haha) and that just made the already good story even better. He's such a good uplifting part of the story.

I'm so glad I got to be back in this world. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced e-arc of this story. I cannot wait for the next in the series already!

This is a 4.5 for me, rounded up.

💭 “Marvella studied Eleanor Briggs for a moment. Her heart broke, seeing the consternation and fear so plain on the young woman’s beautiful features. But in her experience, not many entered the kingdom of God without a fight. And that’s exactly what Eleanor was doing. Fighting God.”

💙 WHAT I LOVED: The faith content. We see faith on the mountaintop, in the valley, and in all the places in between. We see the FMC, Eleanor “Ellie,” wrestle with God as she questions His goodness and love after the loss of her mother, and we see the MMC, Carter, wrestle with his feelings for Ellie in view of his faith and hers.

We also see heartache, uncertainty, fear, and promise rise in each character’s life; the importance of having family and friends who cling to the Word of God and will impart godly wisdom; and that no matter what trials the day holds, it is a day worthy of giving thanks to the Lord and singing praises to His name.

🛤️ READ IF YOU LIKE: Stories set during the early 1900s out West; rich in biblical principles; and brimming with loveable and patriotic characters who love the Lord, their neighbor, country, and freedoms, as well as who engage in playful banter, lively hospitality, warm friendships, and heartfelt prayer.

💚 OVERALL THOUGHTS: I loved returning to Kalispell, Montana and being reunited with the beloved characters from book one, “The Heart’s Choice,” and getting to know the new characters in “With Each Tomorrow.” Though this can be read as a standalone, I recommend that you read book one so that you too can fall in love with the town and the wonderful people who live there.

This was a refreshing and encouraging read, and in my opinion, Christian Fiction at its finest!

Thank you, @netgalley and @bethanyhousefiction, for the eArc in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a wonderful inspirational love story full of real historical details at the end of the 19th century in Kalispell Montana!
This is book two in “The Jewels of Kalispell” Series, and although it can be read as a standalone, I strongly recommend reading “The Heart’s Choice” first, because you get to know the characters better and the quirks of a charming town as it is Kalispell.
Eleanor Briggs lost her mother when she was a teenager, and since then, she no longer believes in God. How can she? When He all but took her loving mother away! Years later, she works and travels with her conservationist father, and they are currently journeying west to advocate for public lands. They have traveled for years in this quest, but when they arrive to Kalispell, her father starts considering settling down and writing a book, and Eleanor is confused as to what her future will bring in this tiny town.
Carter Brunswick has his own problems when the Great Northern Railway’s departure threatens his livelihood as the owner of the local flour mill, along with his life long dreams, and the entire town of Kalispell. When he meets Eleanor, even after a disastrous meeting, he is surprised at her strong character, and as he gets to know her, he admires her spirited character and how he challenges him in ways no one ever had. But as tensions over the railroad departure increase until boiling point, Ellie and Carter are thrown together on an adventurous journey to defend what is right, and the welfare of their community. But will their growing feelings survive the challenge and lead them to a happily ever after and strengthen -or drastically change- their faith in God?
This book was a complete delight! I was glad I had read the first book because I loved to see many characters reappear. Marvella is definitely my favorite secondary character. I love how she fights for women’s rights, and I love her sense of humor and her no-nonsense but loving relationship with her husband, the town’s judge. She’s a matriarch, a natural leader, and can’t help but meddle in other people’s lives, especially when she can do her own matchmaking. The plot is engaging and it kept me turning the pages to know what would happen next. I loved Eleanor and Carter, and how they were so at odds at first. I enjoyed their sparring, and how their relationship quickly grows into something deep and strong. Also, the way Carter -and Marvella too- help Ellie regain her faith was humbling and inspiring. There are many inspirational and thought provoking quotes in their dialogues. Carter was an amazing hero: honorable, hard working, strong minded, and with a deep sense of faith and love of God. I instantly fell in love with him!
The historical details of the establishing of national parks is so interesting and new to me. I also enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the beautiful natural scenery of Montana.
The romance was sweet and endearing. Even funny, with Marvella’s meddling. There were many lighthearted moments I enjoyed as well as tension and drama that made me stick to the pages! All in all, a wonderful historical romance to read! And with a satisfying ending that made me sigh and want more!
I highly recommend this book! This is definitely a series you will want to read to your delight!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Publisher via NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a review. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

I read/listened to the audio for With Each Tomorrow and enjoyed learning about the beginnings of the national park in Montana. Even though it wasn't my favorite by this writing duo, it made for a day of easy listening.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review. All opinions are my own.

I am reviewing With Each Tomorrow by Bethany House and Netgalley:



Love and faith can flourish despite adversity.


During the creation of Glacier National Park, Eleanor Briggs and her conservationist father travel west to advocate for public lands, carrying the burden of a painful past with them .Having traveled the country with her father since the death of her mother, she's helped him with his work, but now he's considering settling down and writing a book--and she isn't sure what that means for her.



The Great Northern Railway's departure threatens Carter Brunswick's family's livelihood and Kalispell's entire economy. The visiting conservationist's daughter, Ellie, challenges his convictions in ways he never imagined, and he begins to change his own dreams.



During the tension over the railroad's departure, Ellie and Carter are drawn together on a daring journey that tests their faith and emotions.


I give With Each Tomorrow five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

I've become a fan of both of these authors but there's always a special magic when they combine their talents to create a story. With Each Tomorrow is filled with memorable characters, a beautiful western setting, and historical details involving the formation of the Glacier National Park and the impending departure of the Great Northern Railway regional headquarters from Kalispell, Montana. Throw in adventure, suspense, and an intriguing relationship between Eleanor Briggs and Carter Brunswick and I was totally engaged!

I enjoyed learning about the early National Parks system and being reminded of just how important the railroad system was in the early 1900s. A town's livelihood could be destroyed if it was no longer a stop along the way so Carter's determined efforts to keep the regional headquarters in Kalispell were especially relevant! I also loved catching up with some of the Kalispell townspeople that I'd already met, and I must say that Marvella Ashbury was still a force of nature! How could Carter and Elly escape her matchmaking efforts?

If you're looking for a captivating plot with sweet romance and a thought-provoking faith message, grab a copy of this book! I recommend With Each Tomorrow to all who enjoy historical Christian fiction and I'm eagerly awaiting the third book in The Jewels of Kalispell series. Well done, Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse!

My longest review, ever! No spoilers…

1895-1912 Kalispell, Montana
This series (The Jewels of Kalispell) pairs each book with a historical landmark in Kalispell, Montana. This particular book is centered upon the Great Northern Railway Depot and has this railroad as its primary focus.

What makes this story appealing to me is the strong spiritual thread and the characters, so it is only fitting that I include some of my favorite quotes to introduce them-

--Eleanor “Ellie” Briggs is the daughter of a conservationist who advocates for national parks. Since she lost her mom to cancer at age fourteen, she has been traveling with her father. On this trip, she comes to realize that father may not be right about everything.

“Eleanor grew up in society, was taught etiquette and rules, and participated in all the grand events and activities. All while her father traveled and spoke around the Eastern Seaboard about conservation. That was, until Mother became ill.”

“Losing Mother changed her perspective. About money. About God. About what she wanted out of life.”

“After an awful night of tossing, turning, and reviewing her life, Eleanor was sure about one thing. She had no idea who she was anymore. She’d so poured her life into assisting Father with his work that his beliefs and opinions became hers. His conversations, her conversations.”

“Still, without God, Ellie would continue to struggle. She was searching for a way to make sense of the world. She was looking to feel the love her mother had given her—a love she believed was stolen from her.”

—Our H, Carter Brunswick owns the wheat mill and comes from a family devoted to a very large wheat farm they have owned for generations. With opposing opinions, Carter and Ellie do not get off to a good start.

“But his gut held him in check. Eleanor Briggs was clearly wrestling with God. Carter wasn’t about to get in the middle of that battle. Still, the one thing he could do was get down on his knees and pray.”

—Then you have, among a few other characters, two motherly figures who try to help things along…

—Marvella Ashbury is an assertive, motherly figure-the Judge’s wife-a pillar of the community-who hosts the Briggs in their home.

“At some point, you are going to have to patch things up with God, my dear. And we will most assuredly be having that conversation soon.”

“Eleanor Briggs was a challenge. Not only did the poor thing seem to have been in the company of men much too often since her mother died, but she also was cold toward God. And that simply wouldn’t do.”

—And lastly, we have Carter’s mother, Mrs Brunswick, who is a great shoulder to cry on.

“Mothers are so very dear to us that their loss creates impossibly difficult spaces in our lives. I’ve found that only God can fill those holes.”

“It’s hard to accept that a loving God would let such things happen. Allow sickness. Take a mother from her child or a child from its mother. I don’t think I’ll ever completely understand, but I take comfort in His faithfulness to never leave me to bear it alone.”

See! I knew you would agree with my praise for this book. Now, put it in your TBR pile or on your TBR list.

This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language. I received this book in a LibraryThing giveaway, free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.

After the death of her mother, Ellie Briggs has followed her father around the country for years, supporting him in his conservation work. They make a stop in Kalispell, Montana, prepared to work on plans for a national park nearby. However, Ellie’s growing restlessness and frustration with God escalates as she meets new friends with strong faith. Handsome Carter Brunswick & her hostess Marvella are particularly insistent she turn back to God, and stand by Ellie in her wrestle.
Overall, I liked the characters in this book individually. However, the relationship between Carter & Ellie felt rushed & not fully developed at the end. There was all this tension between them, and it felt like everything fizzled out a bit. Like I mentioned though, I liked each character individually. Marvella was probably my favorite because she was so feisty and insistent on helping people. Solid Christian read!

After the death of her mother, Eleanor gives up on God. Her life then revolves around helping her father with his conservation efforts. Her views on land ownership, conservation, and God are challenged when they stop in Kalispell, MT.

I loved this second installment from Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse in the Jewels of Kalispell series. I admire how they share the doubts and struggles that many of us have through the characters' lives in the book.

I highly recommend this book! You will be encouraged and refreshed after reading this, looking forward to what God will do next.

I received an ARC from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Readers are swept away to a time when conservationists traveled the country, advocating for National Parks, protecting the land from over development.
Eleanor and her father travel to Montana, hoping to develop plans for Glacier National Park. Arriving in Kalispell, though, they are faced with a town upset about the railway’s plans to cancel service. With townspeople suddenly out of work, tensions run high and create a suspense situation near the end of the novel.
Eleanor is an interesting character. She’s worked with her father since the death of her mother, and now it seems he’s no longer interested in having her work alongside him. Since her mother’s death, Eleanor has questioned God and remained far from Him. In coming to Kalispell, she’s faced with several life-altering decisions.
Carter Brunswick is committed to the town and people of Kalispell. So when the railroad threatens to take away service, he’s determined to find another way to move the town’s exports. His faith is strong, though he still grows throughout the pages.
The Gospel message is clear and much page time is dedicated to Ellie’s struggle with God and matters of faith, and the secondary characters who try to lead her to Christ.
I enjoyed the story – learning about the start of Glacier National Park, the value of railroad service to western towns, and the banter between Ellie and Carter.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

It was a good story line altogether. I had a hard time getting into the book. I like how the end had some excitement in it. I just wish it was like that throughout the entire book.

1904 Montana. Ellie and her father come to town working to start a new National Park there. It happened to be a town where the railroad is moving out, relocating, which is upsetting to all who already live in the town and work for the railroad. As they begin to discover, there are powers and politics involved from all across the country. She and Carter don't hit it off at all. Each has problems and obstacles to work out and grow in their faith.
I received this book free from the authors, publisher and NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

With Each Tomorrow returns us to Kalispell, Montana, with another compelling installment of the Jewels of Kalispell series. Immersed in faith and amazing historical detail this story revolves around changes being made in the community with the departure of the railroad and plans for a National Park which result in major conflicts. The intriguing plot twists and turns with a bit of suspense near the end. The characters are well-crafted and memorable although Eleanor’s attitude throughout most of the story got a bit tiresome to me. She did, however, show some growth personally and spiritually by the end of the story. I love Carter and his strong faith. Their romance develops slowly with its ups and downs. It was great to reconnect with delightfully eccentric Marvella and honorable Judge Ashbury and Rebecca and Mark from the first book which I totally loved. I enjoyed this book and recommend it for fans of Christian Historical Romance.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley with no obligation to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Although this is book 2 of The Jewels of Kalispell series, it can be read as a stand alone. I do recommend book 1, The Heart’s Choice. It’s really good and we do see some of the same characters in book 2.

With Each Tomorrow teaches us quite a bit about the National Parks, and I really enjoyed that. We also learn how important the railroad was to the towns out west that depended on them for shipping goods.

Really good characters, including some spunky women, will draw you into the story and make it one you want to keep reading. As always, Peterson and Woodhouse give us beautiful settings that are sometimes dangerous. I wouldn’t have wanted to ride those trains through the mountains. Yikes. We also see God and His goodness throughout the story.

If you enjoy Christian historical fiction with a sweet clean romance then I highly recommend With Each Tomorrow.

I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not required to leave a review.

I enjoyed this book about the beginning of Glacier National Park. I admired Carter Brunswick who purchases his own flour mill and seeks God's will for his future and a wife. While Glacier National Park is a beautiful place and I am glad it is protected, I did not care for the attitudes of conservationist, Stewart Briggs and his friends who did not think any person should own hundreds of acres of land. They felt the government should own it! Mr. Briggs daughter, Eleanor, has traveled with her father and worked with him since her mother's death and has accepted his ideas. While in Kalispell, Eleanor begins to question some of these ideas. With Each Tomorrow has action as some men take matters in their own hands when they learn the railroad will no longer come to Kalispell and they will have to move in order to keep their jobs. The judge's wife, Marvella Ashbury, adds humor to the book! I recommend With Each Tomorrow to others. I received a complimentary copy through the authors, Bethany House and NetGalley. This is my honest opinion.

Eleanor Briggs and her father travel to Kalispell, Montana, to promote conservation and appropriate land use as well as to advocate for the formation of a new national park in the area. Little did they know how much this trip would change their lives—not only their views about land use but also their relationship and future plans. The threat of the railroad abandoning Kalispell not only brings concern but danger. This story touches the bases of history, drama, romance, and suspense as the tale unfolds. The characters make you care about them and their individual concerns as we witness their struggles and growth. I received a copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
