A Truth Revealed - (The Heart of Cheyenne) Large Print by Tracie Peterson (Paperback)

Laura Evans had been separated from her father since the death of her mother in 1858. Ten years later they are reunited when her father, Granite Evans, invites her to him in Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory. During those ten years Laura built up her father in her mind to hero status. Only time will tell if Granite lives up to Laura's expectations as he works to fulfill his political aspirations. Will Porter had planned his whole life to follow in his father's and grandfather's footsteps and minister on an Indian reservation. Now he is frustrated and grieved by government delays and personal tragedy. Is God trying to show him a different path? Tracie Peterson adds a lot of intrigue to Laura and Will's stories. She supplies an ending that I sure didn't see coming. Throughout the storyline Peterson uses the primary and secondary characters' circumstances to demonstrate God's love and care, especially during life's toughest moments, creating an encouraging story. I recommend A Truth Revealed and am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Bethany House via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.

“She had confronted him about lying to her, and yet he didn’t seem to understand nor care,” Laura realizes in Tracie Peterson’s novel, A Truth Revealed. ~ What ~ The third and final book in The Heart of Cheyenne series, this 313-page paperback targets those interested in a historical romance about a young woman in Wyoming who idolizes her father who she barely knows. With no profanity, topics involving lying, theft, murder, and death may not be appropriate for immature readers. Set in 1868 in the growing town of Cheyenne, 22-year-old Laura is more than happy to finally live with her father after ten years being apart. While she has always held her father in high regard, there are cracks in his impressive, outstanding character that she cannot ignore. When she meets Will, a preacher with a heart for the Indians, she helps him deal with his loss, but the two learn to put all their trust in God. ~ Why ~ America’s West has always been intriguing to me, so I have enjoyed this series about living in a small town. The emotional quandry Laura deals with on wanting to do what is honorable to her father but required by God was well written. I greatly appreciate that the story included the eternal plan of salvation that so many Christian writers seem to skip over. ~ Why Not ~ Those who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ may not like this story that focuses on God’s love while healing from tragedy. Some may not like a couple of the characters appearing pious or perfect in many ways. ~ Wish ~ While the story confirms that lying is wrong, at one point it almost seems acceptable for one person to do it, which may confuse some readers. Since this is a series, it may be helpful to include a map of Cheyenne and a list of characters. ~ Want ~ If you like a historical romance, this final book in the series searches for the truth among the lies while trusting on God for answers. Thanks to Bethany House and Interviews & Reviews for this complimentary book. I am under no obligation to give a positive review.
