The Heart of Cheyenne trilogy concludes with this story featuring Laura returning to Cheyenne. Readers who liked the first two books will enjoy this one as Laura begins a new life with her beloved father, but is puzzled him. Something is different about him or is it her imagination. Enjoyable but not my favorite.

Laura has been in boarding schools since her mother died, so when her father has asked for her to finally come out west by him, she is thrilled. All she has wanted was to be back with her father and it's finally happening. As she settles in, things start to seem a little off with her father. She knows it's been quite a few years and so he might have changed some, but he isn't the man who she remembers as a child. But yet the town seems to love him, and talks about all he has done for the city and others. But an incident on her birthday will call into question everything she knows about him what his business dealings really entail. With the help of a good friend, her and Will work to get to the bottom of everything and the truth behind her father, the devastation of Will's family and what really has been happening in Cheyenne. I just love her books, they are such fast reads with great characters and history all wrapped together. Thank you to the author for the complementary novel and to Austen Prose for the tour invite. This review is of my own opinion an accord.

Quite the interesting story. Laura had been away at several boarding schools since her mother died. She's of age now and returns to her father's house in Cheyenne. They're very wealthy. She's been away so long that she really doesn't know her father. Will has been called to Cheyenne to be a preacher to the Indians. Events take place that keep both of them in danger, but they've both become deep friends with the key characters from previous books and both have a strong foundation in faith. Terrible tragedies happen and the support of their friends and their faith see them through. Hard to put down as what's hidden becomes known. Excellent read.

A Truth Revealed is the third book in The Heart of Cheyenne series by Tracie Petersen. While being part of a series, this is a great stand alone story. This story focuses on Laura and Wilson. Laura returns home from college to live with her father. Wilson yearns to get government approval to minister to the Shoshone people.

This is a very enjoyable story to read. It is well written and easy to read and imagine. Laura and Wilson are such good characters. It is so easy to imagine the struggles they are dealing with and how their faith is tested. It was interesting to read of how Laura’s father sent her away to school following her mother’s death and the life he hid from everyone. I enjoyed reading of how Laura grew up without him and the people who were in her life. I found it inspirational that Wilson was so focused on helping the Shoshone people, yet he questioned this after such a tragic incident took his mother and sister.

This book was a little harder to get into and it is good but it seemed to drag for me.

I loved this book! This is the third book in the series. It’s not necessary to read the others but there are characters from previous books in this one. Laura returns home and finds her father is doing well for himself with his businesses however he is also doing criminal things in secret. Her dad is definitely not a man to be messed with. Laura is a little too trusting with her father’s excuses and I kept wanting her to see the truth. Will wants to minister to the Shoshone people but is delayed in doing such. And then his mother and sister are killed and scalped. He then starts spending time with Laura after an accident and she tends to his wounds. I liked watching their relationship develop. I just felt bad for Laura and her father. The Christian content is super strong throughout the story and I loved it. Overall this is a great story and I definitely recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Content: murder, scalping mentioned

“Little flock, precious lambs of God, you are loved with an everlasting love. God will not give up on you. He will seek you until He finds you. He will pursue you because you belong to Him. The ways of this world might lay you low. Sin might darken your vision and lead you into places where you should not stray, but God is mighty and loving.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Another treasure about the old west from the pen of Tracie Peterson. I appreciate the research that was evident in this story about the early days of Cheyenne, Wyoming. The town is starting to grow as Laura arrives to reunite with her father after so many years apart. She has a strong faith even though she has been through difficulties. “My faith was all that got me through. Knowing that God was there and would never leave me was everything I longed for because everyone else had gone.” I always respect how the author weaves the Gospel into her stories and depicts characters with strong Christian values. But she does also show how Will Porter could be tested in his faith so that he could grow stronger in the Lord. I especially liked the use of the two greatest commandments and how they apply to all Christians: Loving God and loving your neighbor.
The story was well crafted with danger, mystery, romance, and a few surprises. This was an enjoyable conclusion to the series.

What a great conclusion to the ‘Heart of Cheyenne’ series. This was my favorite of the series.
Will’s struggle with his faith and purpose after his simultaneous tragedies was so well written. The depth of the conversations he had with Laura, Edward and Charlie were encouraging.
Laura’s decision to lean into her faith and depend on God during her trials was inspiring.
Laura’s father was underhanded and slightly villainous. It was sad how long it took her to realize how he played on her emotions. Oh, the plot twist!
I enjoyed seeing Marybeth, Melody, Faith, and Granny Taylor take Laura into their friend group so completely.
This ARC was provided through NetGalley by the publisher. I was not required to give a positive review, rating and opinions are my own.

I am only giving this book four stars because I found it very slow moving and longer than it needed to be. There were many good lessons in the book, but I think it could have been shortened and still had the lessons. The ending came quite suddenly and did surprise me a little. The story was good, but slow especially in the beginning. I was given this book to review.

A Truth Revealed by Tracie Peterson is unlike the first two installments of The Heart of Cheyenne series. This one has a little bit darker plot. While there is romance, this one has much more to do with familial relationships and forgiveness. Laura has to come to grips with her father not being what he seems, while Will has to decide if he can move past some unexpected family trauma to be a missionary to the Shoshone people.

While Laura is such a sweet girl, I feel like her character lacked the depth that I saw in Mary Beth and Melody. Her father is obviously manipulating her, and she wants to think the best of him. I don't mind this to a certain extent, but I thought she should have come to terms with it earlier in the book. Then we could have watched her grapple with this issue more than we did.

There was an out-of-left-field twist at the end that seemed a little abrupt. Basically I would have liked a little more development of what occurs in the last quarter of the book. Overall, an entertaining read, but not my favorite of the series.

A special thank you to NetGalley and Bethany House for this ARC.

First off, I'd like to say while the cover makes this look like a sweet Christian romance novel, there is so much more depth to this book!
I've read this author before, but it has been a while. She adds a lot of faith into her writing. This book specifically dealt with a lot of different emotions and struggles and how they are dealt with from different Christian perspectives. I like the way it makes you see certain situations from both a believer and a non-believer's viewpoint at times. There were even times in here where characters struggled with their personal faith and how it affected their outlook and desires of life.
I thought this book was interesting in how the daughter, who had been separated from her father for half of her childhood, chose to get to know him better before judging him for the actions that she disagreed with. This is definitely contrary to how most people would seem to react in today's "I'm right" or "me first" society.
As a Christian, I found this book refreshing as it dealt with people's faith throughout different emotional problems and how reading about it helped me look at how I approach issues. I think these books can help strengthen one's beliefs and help them even to see new perspectives on similar issues in their own personal life.
I also really enjoyed the circle of friends that the main character created. Whenever she was struggling, she looked to share her burdens in order to get love and support from those she trusted. I think everyone needs this in some form in their life. Multiple characters also used Bible verses in daily conversations which uplifted or helped them focus on the right course of action needed.
Overall a good Christian novel with lots of depth and hardships.

Laura is excited to finally be moving in with her father, but her father's business isn't all that it expected. Wilson Porter, a young minister, is hoping for an appointment as a missionary on the reservation, but the death of his mother and sister along with an accident change up his plans. Together, the two build a relationship and figure out a way to justice to be done.

I enjoyed this book. It was a sweet romance with a few twists and turns I didn't anticipate. I liked Laura and Wilson's relationship, and thought that the conflict and resolution with her father were good.

The third in an amazing series of women making lives in Cheyenne at the turn of the century. This remarkable story shares insight into some hardships of life while staying focused on God and His plan. The inspirational book demonstrates God’s love is overwhelming, even when an earthly father’s love is failing. Tracie Peterson is an amazing author and I greatly enjoyed the third book in this series.

I really enjoyed this book!! The faith was amazing!! The romance was great too!! Slow burn but not too slow! The only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars was because the beginning was a little slow for me. Overall, very good, solid, faith filled read! Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy, all opinions are my own!

This book was not what I expected at all! I really enjoyed Laura’s faith in God and her will to want to start a better relationship with her father. Will was a great character, seeing him struggle with his faith and watching him come back to God, was really a testament to all that we can face daily. His losses would have made anyone feel that way at times. Granite, Laura’s father was not what I expected or her for that matter, so it kept my interest! Great story and great Bible verses if you needed to find faith again!

I have just finished A Truth Revealed and found it absolutely wonderful. Tracie Peterson has held true to her skill as a writer. Laura Evans gets her long held desire of living with her father, but he's not the man she expected. In the midst of falling in love, her faith is tested in unexpected ways. I love the intrigue, the sweetness of the romance, and the strength of friendship.

I have really enjoyed this series taking place in Cheyenne this is the third and final book in the series. I’ve enjoyed learning about the railroaders and daily life in such an unsettled area. I’ve also enjoyed meeting the characters, for the most part.

Laura Evans is a young woman home from boarding school with memories of a father who was soft and gentle with her, a kind and understanding man. She was sent away after her mother’s death; her father was grieving and couldn’t offer her comfort because of deep grief. The father she returns to after all these years is a changed man, bitter towards God for letting his wife die he isn’t the man Laura remembers, nor does he have time for her.

The father is involved in some things Laura isn’t aware of, ways to make a quick buck and he hopes his connections will help him get into politics. He’s pretty good at hiding his involvement and his hired workers are there to help him with his shenanigans.

Wilson Porter has felt like he’s had a calling to assimilate with the Shoshone people, but the government keeps delaying him going to help. When a tragedy happens in his own family, he becomes disillusioned and starts to question his beliefs he’s had since childhood.

Laura and Wilson spend a lot of time together, friendship grows into more, but as dark secrets become revealed it affects them each in different ways. They must work together in perfect harmony, putting the past behind them if there’s any chance of a bright future together.

Note: I gave this book 3 stars because I don’t condone animal cruelty or even talk of it. The father suggests one of his worker’s kill his daughter’s kitten because he didn’t want it around. This did nothing to enhance the book and could have been left out. Side Note: The kitten did not die, it was rescued. I am glad to read this because as much as I enjoy this author’s books I wouldn’t have read anymore of her books if it had.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.

A delightful story with such excitement and emotion that it drew me in and I couldn't put it down. A huge reminder of God's faithful love towards us.

Set in Cheyenne Wyoming I found the book interesting as we had just traveled the area on vacation. The early days of the railroad and territory life were fascinating. The characters Will and Laura were fun to journey with as they find their way through life. I appreciated the use of scripture as they dealt with loss and doubt and struggled with Gods goodness. I highly recommend this book.

A TRUTH REVEALED is the third novel in The Heart of Cheyenne series by TRACIE PETERSON, and, while it is better to read the books in sequence and follow the original characters together with the new ones, it can also stand alone.
The story starts in 1868 with Laura Evans arriving by train in Cheyenne to stay with her father, Granite Evans, after hardly seeing him for ten years. She remembers his kindness from her childhood, and it seems as though he is held in high esteem in Cheyenne. He has amassed a great deal of wealth and is generous with those less fortunate………
Gradually his true nature reveals itself and Laura and her preacher friend Wilson Porter unearth the truth, at great danger to themselves…….
I like to see how Laura and Will each deal with grief, and how they complement one another…..
This is a book with a strong Christian message, full of relevant scriptures. I found A Truth Revealed a most inspirational and exciting read, with an unexpected twist, sweet romance and loving friendships.
I cannot recommend the book highly enough.
