When heartache and loss invade Karen Pierce's carefully ordered world, she is devastated. Her plans and dreams for the future seem distant and unattainable, and she is bound by a promise to care for two young adults who are struggling with a loss of their own. Continuing their journey north to the goldfields seems their only option, and Adrik Ivanov agrees to be their guide. With a late start and the constant threat of winter hastening their pace, Adrik wonders at the wisdom of their decision. But he longs to prove his commitment and growing love for Karen, who has pushed aside his advances in the past. Inspired by the beautiful and rugged landscape, Karen thrives under the difficult conditions of their trek. As her heart begins to journey back to the core of her once-solid faith, will she dare to embrace the love offered to her? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Like the first book in the series, this was quick to read and mostly enjoyable, but there were some comments that indicated a poor understanding of God's standards regarding relationships.
One character did realize the error in her thinking that was present in the first book; but then, other characters are told that they need to "follow their heart," that men need a good woman to "complete" them, that romantic love is greater and more important than life itself - better to die with the person you love than to live without them. It's indicated that God has a "special man" in mind for all women. When vows are exchanged, they talk of "eternal love" instead of "til death doth part," which is a subtle but telling difference.
There were several scenes that were overly sensual, moreso than in the first book.
I did generally like the character of Karen, and appreciated seeing her struggle with anger towards God. Yet, this seemed too quickly and easily resolved. I really wish this had been more true-to-life - which is maybe an unrealistic expectation from "Christian" fiction. (
