Christmas Prayer: A Cross-Country Journey in 1850 Leads to High Mountain Danger--And Romance. | Wanda E Brunstetter

1 post | 2 read

Beloved, bestselling author of Amish fiction, Wanda E. Brunstetter takes readers on a journey in 1850 along the California Trail. Only the brave--or foolhardy--would attempt a cross-country journey late in the season. Three wagons meet up in Independence, Missouri, in April 1850, and their owners decide to keep forging ahead despite many setbacks and delays. December finds them in the Sierra Nevada Mountains when a sudden snowstorm traps them, obscuring the trail. Cynthia Cooper is traveling with her mother and the man she has promised to marry. But as Christmas is upon them and they are hunkered down in a small cabin, she is forced to reevaluate her reasons for planning to marry fellow-traveler Walter Prentice. When a widowed father heading to a California ranch and a gold prospector both show an interest in Cynthia, she weighs her dreams for marriage alongside her responsibility to care for her mother. Can love win over her timid heart?

pick

Brunsetter did not disappoint. The story was immediately engaging, an easy read, and left me wanting more. I love the format of the diary of Cynthia Cooper. The novella format is a great place for a quick story but doesn‘t lend itself to delving into the intricacies that Brunstetter often creates. A brief and engaging story, with an interesting setting and entertaining storyline. Full review, recipe & guest post from the author on my blog.
