Number 3 is not to be missed!

Why do we have to learn the hard way? Why are we so sure we have all the answers? This story is about 2 individuals who are set on doing things their way and then are left with the consequences of their decisions. Yet like in life their story is not the only thing happening to those living in Prescott. You won't want to miss the third installment in this saga. Next up, A HOPE REVEALED.

A life restored - unfinished

Karen Baney's Prescott Pioneer series captivated me from the beginning. She keeps you wanting to keep reading well into the night. However, I must admit I was quite disappointed with the ending of a Life Restored as having to wait for Book 4 to find out how it really ends was a shock. I felt I was left "hanging" and would rather have waited until Book 4 comes out to read Book 3 and 4 to make a complete book. There should have been a notation up front on the book description eluding to the fact that the book was rather "incomplete".

Fabulous historical fiction series!

I read and review a lot of Christian fiction titles, and I especially love the historical western theme. Karen Baney writes the type of stories that I love the most. Caroline and Thomas first meet after a tragic stage coach robbery, and Caroline is the only survivor. Thomas has a very colorful past, and many don't believe that he will ever make anything of his life. When their lives cross, their immediate reaction is a love/hate relationship that will take them through some very interesting times. A story full of suspense, young love, danger, the wild Arizona frontier, cattle rustlers, genuine compassion for others, and a deep faith in God, are just a few of the elements that kept me up way past my bedtime. I can't wait for book #4, A Hope Revealed, and I highly recommend the entire Prescott Pioneers series.
