In Times Gone By

Tracie Peterson weathers out the storm of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake in her final book of this series.  Kenzie's former fiance shows up "still wanting to marry her." Caleb visits Kenzie's family and brings them back to San Francisco.  Corruption is still rampant in San Fran and Caleb still wants to dig it out and eradicate it from the city.  Tracie Peters knows her characters, her settings, her history, and her research.  She especially knows how to pull this all together into a cohesive novel or series of novels. 

Here's how it all plays out:  Caleb's sister Camrianne marries Patrick Murdock.  Judith finds her family only to lose them in the quake.  She ends up marrying Caleb.  Kenzie works for Micah as a nurse, and finally comes to realize she loves him.

There is so much I have left out of this review, but there just isn't enough time to give it the full treatment it deserves.  It is just a captivating series of novels that is hard to put down once you pick it up.  Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, some special chocolates from Ghiradelli.

My thanks to Bethany House for allowing me to read and review this book and this series.
