Have you heard of Home to Heather Creek?
I just read All Things Hidden by Tricia Goyer. This novel is Book eighteen in the Home to Heather Creek series from Guideposts. Tricia’s first book in the Home to Heather Creek series was Sweet September (book two) followed by Every Sunrise (book seven) last spring and Sunflower Serenade this summer.
I thoroughly enjoyed All Things Hidden. I had to appreciate the amazing number of twists and turns in the plot…all of which came together delightfully at the end! Now, I am hooked and looking forward to the next book.
I think it is interesting that the protagonist is an older woman, who is caring for a growing, busy household. I found her kind and grounded and I liked her honest responses to obstacles, whether they were large, like clearing her family name, or small…like being interrupted often, by the needs of her family.
Another surprise was the setting for the novel, Nebraska. I am a southern girl, used to rolling hills or beaches. I did travel through Nebraska, once, with my husband. I was astonished by the amount of space. No trees for miles…just miles and miles of land and endless horizon. I have always liked Willa Cather’s novels, and in All Thing Hidden, you get that same sense that the people of Nebraska are strong and perseverant. I loved the incorporation of so much history in the story.
I also get a kick out of Tricia Goyer’s tweets! You can find her over at www.triciagoyer.com. Tricia Goyer is the author of several books, including Night Song and Dawn of a Thousand Nights, both past winners of the ACFW’s Book of the Year Award for Long Historical Romance. Goyer lives with her family in Montana.
The Official Word:
The past is brought to light…
Charlotte is cleaning out the basement of Bedford Community Church when she comes across a tattered and yellowed newspaper article. The clipping, published more than a century ago, implicates her great-great-grandfather in the loss of funds intended to help finish building the church. Charlotte has heard stories about the incident through the years, but now it seems the past has come back to haunt her. Is it just her imagination or are people treating her differently now that they think she’s descended from a crook? Will Charlotte be able to clear her family’s name once and for all?
Meanwhile, Sam is spending time with a new girl in town-and is keeping secrets from his grandparents about where they go. Christopher is trying to get an article published in the local paper, and Emily reluctantly partners with a foreign exchange student on a class project and eventually comes to see that they’re not that different after all. As old secrets are brought to light, the whole family is reminded that the truth is often more complicated than it seems.
Come home to Heather Creek. Get to know Charlotte Stevenson, who is raising her grandchildren on the family farm after a tragic accident changes all of their lives forever. With the help of her husband Bob and a close-knit circle of friends, she will do whatever it takes to keep this fragile family together. See how God, who makes the sun rise and the crops grow, watches over our lives too.
