Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In the conclusion to the popular "Ribbons West" trilogy (Westward the Dream, Separate Roads), Jordana Baldwin yearns to travel since her sister Victoria is now happily married and settled down. When her letters home are picked up by an Eastern newspaper under the byline "J. Baldwin," she seizes her chance to go undercover investigating the competition between the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Railroads as they race to complete the first transcontinental railway. In disguise, Jordana takes to the rails as her fictitious brother "Joe" and soon runs into an old friend, Capt. Rich O'Brian. As Jordana struggles with her newfound feelings for Rich, he is tormented by his first wife's death and vows never to care so deeply for another. By placing their faith in God, Jordana and Rich find a common ground. Though the premise of the beautiful Jordana passing herself off as a man is too much of a stretch, fans of the series will enjoy this wrap up.

The book that ties things up,
By megan (America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ties that Bind (Ribbons West) (No 3) (Paperback)
The book i think was the best of all three. Really, it helps to know that the authors believe in God and that they can weave him into a book. You could almost make it an adventure book and a religious one too and that is what makes me feel good reading this book. This also ties it up and that way you won't have to wait for them to make the next one which i hate to wait. But this is an excellent book and i would recommend it to anyone.

An Excellent Series,

This review is from: Ties that Bind (Ribbons West) (No 3) (Paperback)
You will want to read Judith Pella & Tracie Peterson's Ribbons of Steel Series first as it is of the parents and then Jordana and Victoria as children in Book 3, although Book 1 of Ribbons of Steel Series was a bit too filled with historical references for me at the time I read it ... I can appreciate it more looking back at it... and I positively loved the series!
Please read my review entitled "An Excellent Series" in both Books One & Two of this series! This is such an excellent series. As I stated previously, it I think was a bit of a sleeper ... it is a bit of an older series, and I bought it as I love Tracie Peterson and Christian romances ... now I have to admit I was not interested at all in the fact that was entertwined with railroad history when I bought this series. However, did I ever enjoy it all. I learned so much ... one is never too old are they ... and at the same time ... I loved the interplay of the people, the cultures and of course adored the weave of the Christianity throughout this series. A Fabulous Series ... only thing wrong with it is that it ended!

Ribbons West and Ribbons of Steel,

This review is from: Ties that Bind (Ribbons West) (No 3) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this story very much. It ties all the previous stories together, which are six in number if you count the Ribbon of Steel. Jordana is quite the brave and adventerous young woman. There are many twist and turns, but it is a lot of fun along the way.
