HEART'S JOURNEY

by Kristen McKendry

Adventure is in her blood, so when wealthy eighteen-year-old Rachel Hamilton’s treasure hunting father disappears in the wilderness of British Columbia, she considers only one course of action: she will embark on a quest to find him.

But for a well bred woman with little understanding of the world beyond her upper class existence, the harsh realities of the trail quickly become apparent. 

Woefully unprepared for the hardships of crossing a wild and unsettled continent, Rachel is hungry, lost, and distraught when handsome frontiersman Peter finds her in the middle of nowhere. 

Taking pity on the downtrodden young woman, Peter promises to escort her to the safety of civilization. 

Little does he realize he’s taking on a naïve and foolishly brave girl who will test the limits of his patience. 

But he also discovers the same naïve girl will blossom into a strong, competent, and captivating woman as they undertake an epic journey that will forever alter both their lives.

My Review
What a truly delightful book!
I absolutely loved it!

Subtle humor mixed in with strong emotions and a determination that will not quit.

I was increasingly intrigued with the adventure of travel across the country. We so take for granted our ability to hop in a car or jump on a plane to travel that far.

And to do it under the open skies, with little food and water, and I cannot even imaging the time that Rachel was lost and alone for a few days...so incredibly written...such wonderful description!

I loved the developing relationship between Peter and Rachel and wait until you read about Shorty--he stole my heart.

What would you do and how far would you travel to find a loved one?

An incredibly fantastic story!
I highly recommend this one!
So well written!
Love this author!
