    Emmalyne & Tavin are engaged to be married when the tornado hit and life changed. Emmalyne loses her sisters and fiancee at the same time. Her family has a tradition that the youngest girl is not allowed to marry and instead commits her life to taking care of her parents. When her two younger sisters are tragically taken her grief-stricken father demands she set aside love for her family obligations.

    Tavin comes for Emmalyne in order to elope and she refuses to dishonor her father. He leaves heartbroken but thankfully the story merely starts there. True love is eternal.

    This story weaves together so many powerful things including love, hate, passion, perseverance, loyalty, joy, loss and conviction into a beautiful love story.

    I was given this book by the publisher in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.

    This is book two in this series by Tracie Peterson. The first book is The Icecutter's Daughter and the third is The Miner's Lady. This is not one of my favorite by this author. The characters are interesting but not intriguing. I found the story line a bit unbelievable at times. Who is engaged and then leaves with their family anyway! I just don't see that from a young person. Once you get past the basic story though and follow the different events the story does get better. I gave this book 4/5 stars. I do think you will enjoy the book I just don't see reading the book a second time!

    I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

    Second in Tracie Peterson's series, I liked this book better than the first. I liked the characters and the storyline. I especially liked the theme of no situation is too impossible for our God and it is never too late with our God, his timing is perfect. If you read this book I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    The Quarryman's Bride, by Tracie Peterson, is the second novel in the series, Land of Shining Water. This novel is the story of young love, sacrificial obedience, soul searching, and reconciling redemption.

    Set in late 19th Century St. Cloud, Minnesota, tragedy strikes, tearing two families apart. Emmalyne Knox is forced to chose obedience to her father's wishes, over a life filled with love to the man of her dreams. Their wedding is called off, only weeks before the date, when her father uproots his family, moving to another state. After the passage of eleven years, the family unexpectedly returns to St. Cloud where Emmalyne is forced to revisit her past, though events have changed the lives of people she once held dear. Circumstances cause Emmalyne to examine her heart and the feelings she has toward her father. She is also forced to confront her greatest fear, seeing the man she left behind all those years ago. Is there any hope that love has remained constant, through heartache and time?

    While I enjoy reading novels by this author, I did feel that the book moved very quickly at the beginning; I struggled with the hasty transition. However, she worked to redeem herself after the eleven year lapse between chapters one and two. The book was not entirely predictable, though some parts seemed a little forced and didn't seem to flow. The book lent itself to being a good love story. There are some historical references throughout, as well as some minimal insight into the time period, but nothing extensive. Overall, I thought it was a nice book and an enjoyable read. I would recommend it.

    I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers for the purpose of review. All thoughts in this review are my own.
