Description
Sensible and independent, Cassie Barton never anticipated being on her own at thirty-two. But after the death of her father and the marriage of her sister, she's found joy in her work as a seamstress. When a minor accident leaves her unable to sew, she decides to use her time to compile a book of stories about the men working on the Santa Fe Railroad. But worry begins to grow in San Marcial as Mexican revolutionaries set out to destroy the railroad--and put many lives in danger.
With Europe at war and his longtime friend Cassie injured, railroad worker Brandon DuBarko is burdened by his troubles. He promised Cassie's father he would watch over her, but as their comfortable friendship slowly transforms into something deeper, he feels trapped by a secret from his youth. When a vengeful man reappears in Brandon's life, intent on causing conflict, Brandon must face his past before he can move forward.
As the danger intensifies, Cassie and Brandon must rely on God to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of a brighter future.
"The poignant rendering of transformation through faith will resonate with inspirational readers."--Publishers Weekly on Beyond the Desert Sands

I thoroughly enjoyed Under the Starry Skies by Tracie Peterson. This book defines what it means to be forgiven and redeemed in Christ.
Cassie Barton is all alone in the world. With both her parents gone, she makes her living at sewing. She does have a sister, but for reasons she does not understand, her sister wants nothing to do with her and wouldn't even come to their father's funeral. When Cassie is injured, a long-time friend of her father's, Brandon DuBarko, steps in to care for her. And he ensures that the men who accidentally injured her make reparations to her.
Brandon has some difficulties to overcome with war looming and Mexican revolutionaries threatening the railroad. The more time he spends with Cassie, the deeper his feelings grow. But he has a secret that could threaten everything developing between them.
I have not read any other books in this series. Thankfully, they can be read as a standalone. The author has well-developed characters with interesting stories in which she has woven a unique theme of redemption and forgiveness, especially for those who believe they don't deserve it.
The love story between Cassie and Brandon is sweet and all the more moving as they each have obstacles to overcome.
If you like historical romance, you will love Under the Starry Skies. I highly recommend it!
I received a review copy courtesy of Bethany House through NetGalley for my honest opinion.
