Description:
Ellen is the
adoring wife of manly settler John Walden. When an unexpected tragedy claims
his life, however, she finds herself brokenhearted and terrifyingly alone. Life
on the bleak prairies is harsh, and she is desperate for the means to survive.
When a debonair stranger abruptly appears, Ellen is torn between accepting his
offered help or struggling on alone. Tyler Nichols seems an upright young man,
but could his charm be a guise? Could he really be Dan Crudwell, outlaw of
Kansas City? God of Her Fathers is a heartwarming novella of faith, courage,
and new beginnings, as a young woman seeks to trust her Lord and accept His
will for her life.
I have been working my way through some
of the books on my Kindle and decided to read this one day. I have been a huge
fan of Willis’ writing since her very first book. Her short stories are a
delightful taste of what readers can expect from her novels: good history and
good story telling.
This story was one of those that is
bitter-sweet. It starts out sweet with a newlywed couple starting out their
lives on the harsh prairie. When tragedy strikes, it turns bitter. The story
ends on a hopeful note, making the story satisfying.
As always, Willis brings a deep message
of faith that isn’t trivial or forced; it is a natural part of the story. That
is something you can always count on from her.
I wish I could go on and on about this
story, but if I did, I would probably give away some of the story, so I shall
stop here.
I highly recommend this book to those who
love short stories, historical fiction, and powerful yet simple messages of
faith.
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
