Product Description

From Library Journal

After a diphtheria epidemic takes the lives of both her husband and daughter, Lily Nolan continues her work in a traveling medicine show. When the troupe arrives in the small town of Hope, KS, in 1866, Lily encounters Elijah Book, a preacher caring for an orphaned baby, and agrees to look after the child. Although attracted to the kindly Elijah, Lily distrusts him because of the childhood abuse she suffered at the hands of her preacher father. Handling the plot line concerning Lily's father with intelligence and compassion, Palmer (Prairie Fire, LJ 11/1/98) accomplishes a fairly rare task for the genre here, providing both fully rounded characters and unpleasant portrayals of clergy. Her solid development of Lily puts this prairie romance a step above most others, making this a fine addition to the entertaining series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, believable love story of 2 very different folks, April 23 1999

By Bonnie McKinzie - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Prairie Storm (Paperback)

As we left "Prairie Fire" there was no resident preacher. "Prairie Storm" gets us one, a former cowboy who feels he is called to China, but sort of stops over in the little town of Hope. On the way he found a dead family with a newborn boy which the mother handed up to him, begging him to raise her son for the Lord...then she died. Now Elijah Book is a single, rough-hewn, newly changed preacher with an infant....which he knows absolutely nothing about caring for. A traveling show comes to Hope, bringing a young, educated woman who is running from an abusive, wealthy, musically inclined father. She has just lost a newborn herself, so she agrees to nurse the preacher's baby for a fee. The "storm" occurs in the town when a tornado nearly wipes them out, and there is also a "storm" within the preacher and the young singing woman on the run. Both are equally stubborn and yet, the storm within them holds them hostage. A very well written, intriguing book with several big surprises!

5.0 out of 5 stars She's done it again!, Jan 29 2000

By Cindy - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Prairie Storm (Paperback)

What a wonderful book. Katherine left us at the end of Prairie Fire wondering what the Born again Christian Jack and his Bride to be Lass were going to do next. Then in this book she introduces new characters that keep the book so riveting, it is hard to put down. Katherine Palmer writes the books so that you feel that you are a part of the story. She is able to share the gospel with her readers while she keeps you on the edge of your seat with her realistic plot. I do hope she writes the next book quickly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly rich, complex story...Enjoyable reading!, Aug 14 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Prairie Storm (Paperback)

Great examples of working through spiritually abusive situations. However, it is realistic that the abused don't readily recognize the abuse until they seek God and look for His fruits. Also, realistic example of "it rains on the good and the bad"
