PUBLISHER’S SYNOPSIS:
A Blizzard Changes Everything
Abigail Bracey arrives in Nebraska in January 1888 to teach school…and to execute a task for the government: to identify a student as the hidden son of a murderous counterfeiter—the man who killed her father.
Agent Dashiell Lassiter doesn’t want his childhood sweetheart Abby on this dangerous job, especially when he learns the counterfeiter is now searching for his son, too, and he’ll destroy anyone in his way. Now Dash must follow Abby to Nebraska to protect her…if she’ll let him within two feet of her. She’s still angry he didn’t fight to marry her six years ago, and he never told her the real reason he left her.
All Dash wants is to protect Abby, but when a horrifying blizzard sweeps over them, can Abby and Dash set aside the pain from their pasts and work together to catch a counterfeiter and protect his son—if they survive the storm?

This was a pleasant read for me. Late 1800s – Abigail and Dashiell (great
name!) are forced to work together, undercover, to catch a counterfeiter. They
haven’t seen each other in years; not since they were about to get engaged, but
they harbor a variety of feelings for each other that only time and the good
Lord can help them work through. I appreciated the mystery aspect of the story
as well as the gentle working of the Lord to help them with forgiveness and trust, particularly
Abby. Dash struggles with “word blindness” aka dyslexia, of which very little
was known back then. He’s really hard on
himself and lacks confidence. But, he is a strong hero in so many ways and others
are able to help him recognize that as the story progresses. Mr. Yates was a
very special character. His side story
was exactly what I hoped it would be and knowing where he ended up was a tender
moment for me. I also quite liked the
school children and their, er, um, friend Stripey (smile).
The historical notes about the actual blizzard (The Children’s
Blizzard or The Schoolchildren’s Blizzard) were both tragic and interesting,
particularly the way the storm hit; one moment a nice warm day, and suddenly
snow and ice whipping at them and covering everything without warning as
referenced in the story. Living in California, I have never experienced the
likes of that!
Quotes I enjoyed:
*“Say your prayers, men, and keep your wits about you.”
**Hildie poured some of the hot water into her floral teapot
before dumping the remaining contents into a pitcher. ***Hildie had a teacup
read for her. “Something to invigorate the body and warm our hands.” ****These
women had no idea how much their friendship meant to her. God knew, though.
5 stars - recommended!
I received an eCopy from the publisher through NetGalley for
my honest review with no further compensation or expectation.
So far in this series,
twelve books have been written by varied authors so they loosely reference
each other’s characters in the family tree, and therefore need not be read
together or in order. You can read about them at DaughtersOfTheMayflowerDotCom.
