4.0 out of 5 stars Another book in a good series, July 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Coming Storm (Heirs of Montana #2) (Paperback)

Having just finished the book The Holy Road which is the sequel to Dances with Wolves, it was interesting how well Tracie Peterson in The Coming Storm gives a different perspective about the same time period. I like historical novels that are so true to the time they are written about. I also liked how various family members were again included in the story such as re-introducing Trenton Chadwick in a greater role. Diane is truly a woman of faith and courage as she continues to face life on the frontier. This is not a 'happily ever after' kind of series so it's refreshing and encouraging to read how one woman faces all of these adversities in her life. Looking forward to reading the third book.

I usually love Christian fiction - but this one just overflowed with misery. I couldn't stand it.

5.0 out of 5 stars War looming, Indians being rounded up....can ranch survive?, August 12, 2004

Victories but more heartache, disease and accidents threaten the ranch in spite of its' growth and the various families love for each other. Diane has LOTS of responsibility and with it the emptiness for Cole. Three men are in love with her, but she loves only one and he is the absent one. Koko is lonely and torn. Is she Indian or is she White? What about her brother?

A mystery woman travels through and so far, Tracie has not made known what part she will play in this series. Her entrance and quiet exit left a big gap and lots of questions.

Trenton comes back into the book with his infamous past. Horrible tragedies threaten the very existance of the ranch and the town. Can this extended family and friends survive with anything less than a miracle from God? I am anxious for book three. Thank you Tracie Peterson for an historical, Christian book that continues to intrigue the reader.
