The Coming Storm

I’ve been reading this series while my faith has been both tried and stirred during the Covid-19 pandemic and now we are facing protests and riots in 400 American cities. Great courage and comfort can be found in comparing the frontier to the hardships we all face in modern times, and know that the same God who saw these brave men and women through, will see us through as well. There is truly nothing new under the sun. Whether it be racism, the looming threat of war, disease, famine, or weather disasters. (Ok maybe this wasn’t a book review, but it’s what my heart drew from the book :))

Have not read this series as yet but know it will be great as all her othe books have been wonderful!

You have to read the entire series to truly enjoy these novels. Powerful work.

This book was just as good as I thought it would be - maybe better. It's a great picture of why why can't allow bitterness to creep in to our lives and of how to let God handle any wrongs done to us.

Victories but more heartache, disease and accidents threaten the ranch in spite of its' growth and the various families love for each other. Diane has LOTS of responsibility and with it the emptiness for Cole. Three men are in love with her, but she loves only one and he is the absent one. Koko is lonely and torn. Is she Indian or is she White? What about her brother? A mystery woman travels through and so far, Tracie has not made known what part she will play in this series. Her entrance and quiet exit left a big gap and lots of questions. Trenton comes back into the book with his infamous past. Horrible tragedies threaten the very existance of the ranch and the town. Can this extended family and friends survive with anything less than a miracle from God? I am anxious for book three. Thank you Tracie Peterson for an historical, Christian book that continues to intrigue the reader.

Having just finished the book The Holy Road which is the sequel to Dances with Wolves, it was interesting how well Tracie Peterson in The Coming Storm gives a different perspective about the same time period. I like historical novels that are so true to the time they are written about. I also liked how various family members were again included in the story such as re-introducing Trenton Chadwick in a greater role. Diane is truly a woman of faith and courage as she continues to face life on the frontier. This is not a 'happily ever after' kind of series so it's refreshing and encouraging to read how one woman faces all of these adversities in her life. Looking forward to reading the third book.
