A Love Discovered

A Heart of Cheyenne, Book 1

By: Tracie Peterson

Narrated by: Jeanine Bartel

The heart finds its way when one least expects it—even in the most unforgiving frontiers.

Invited by a friend to trek west and help establish the newly formed town of Cheyenne, Edward Vogel is prepared to leave the haunting memories of his wife and son’s deaths behind him. The only problem is the corrupt new railroad town wants family men who can establish law and order, and desperation leads Edward to his friend Marybeth with a proposition of marriage.

After her father’s death leaves her with no means of support, Marybeth Kruger is in danger of having her two-year-old half sister taken from her. So when Edward Vogel, the widower husband of her late best friend, offers her a marriage of convenience to escape both their troubles, she has no choice but to accept.

Life in Cheyenne is fraught with danger, but will this arrangement be enough to save Edward and Marybeth from the pasts they tried to escape? Or will life with each other put them—and their hearts—in more danger than ever?

I did not like the way the narrator tried to change her voice for the characters.

Amazing book

Could not put it down! It’s a beautiful story about walking with God through hard seasons

Cute Story

One of her short stories but with a lot of heart and good details on everyone’s lives in the new land of Wyoming

Noble main characters.

A bit predictable but still thought provoking and satisfying. New insights to historical era and the challenges many faced. Scripture beautifully tied into plot in meaningful way.

God’s consistent and unconditional interaction in our daily lives.

I liked how the story addressed common struggles like loss, anger at God, change, etc. and ties it to scripture. Also loved how the love story developed between Edward and Marybeth.
