- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Title: Beloved Hope (Heart of the Frontier #2)Author: Tracie PetersonPages: 332Year: 2017Publisher: Bethany PublishersMy rating: 5 out of 5 stars.Hope Flanagan is the survivor of the Whitman Massacre just months ago, though she isn’t sure she can move past the tragedy. She has two sisters, Grace and Mercy, who reside in the Oregon Territory in a small cabin where they take care of a flock of sheep. Grace is now married to Alex, who readers are introduced to in the first book Treasured Grace and is expecting their first child. However, Alex has been sent on a mission by the governor and has no knowledge of the coming baby.Hope gives Alex her word that she will help care for Grace until he returns. Grace is the healer of the family. She learned how to use healing herbs from her mother before coming west. Hope loves to work with wool, making yarn and selling it to the local woman. Hope’s life becomes unsettled when those responsible for the massacre are brought to trial and she is asked to testify. The trial brings to the forefront all that Hope experienced first-hand, and she isn’t sure she can move past the darkness in her heart.Lance Kenner is in the Army, and he is tasked with seeing to the security and welfare of the defendants. When Lance helps Hope not to take matters into her own hands, he brings to Hope an unexpected friendship. In time, Lance and Hope must both face their pasts if they are even to have a chance at a future together.Tracie Peterson has done a magnificent job of telling a story where forgiveness isn’t easy, but it is where true freedom from the pain of the past is found. I enjoyed seeing the relationship between the sisters be one where their uniqueness is highlighted as well as their dependence upon God and each other is shining. Hope’s is the one who suffered physically more than her sisters when the massacre happened, and it took time for healing to become a reality. The Heart of the Frontier series will keep readers mesmerized and turning pages until the very end. However, let me assure you that even then, the story will resonate in the heart of the reader for days afterward. I look forward to reading the story of the youngest sister, Mercy, in Cherished Mercy, the final book in the trilogy. Join the adventure by reading the books and sharing with family and friends!Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wow! It is hard to find the words to express the emotions that I am feeling at the end of this book. Tracie Peterson has taken a difficult subject and left me with a feeling of peace. The first book in the series was hard to read, the characters suffered at the hands of others. It was a book of understanding. This book is one of healing.The book starts as Hope is asked to testify against the men responsible for the Whitman Massacre. The range of her emotions is understandable and reasonable. It is hard not to hate the man who repeatedly raped you and killed the man you love. Army Lieutenant Lance Kenner keeps her from making a mistake that would effect the rest of her life.The romance starts slowly. They are friends. I loved that it wasn't rushed, part of that was Hope's need to heal and come to terms with her past. Lance is understanding, sympathetic, and very good for her. Hope has an excellent support system. The bond between the sisters has grown stronger and they truly love each other. It would be nice if everyone who had gone through trauma had sisters like Grace and Mercy.I feel as if Tracie Peterson was able to establish the feelings between the white man and the Native American in a fair way. Tensions were high in the Oregon Territory in the 1840's. The white man encroached on Indian territory and threatened their way of life. Both sides of the dispute are presented. This story is from the view point of a white settler victim, but some of the characters have Native American friends. I felt compassion for all of the people in the story.This story has a strong Christian theme. Hope is learning to have a better relationship with God and to trust Him as she struggles with her fear and hatred. I love how this was presented. There is so much hope and forgiveness in this book. It is inspiring.The book does have some violence and the mention of rape in the past.Source: I receive a complimentary copy from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the second book in the Heart of the Frontier series and great like the first. This book shows how Hope and her sisters survive after the massacre of the Whitman mission. Hope has many items to get passed. I recommend that you read the first in the series so you know what is going on. I love the characters if Hope and Lance and all the others. Can one survive the travails that Hope has gone through. The answer is yes with a lot of faith. This they all learn. I received a copy of this book from Bethany House for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoy books set in a historical setting as they give you a bit of history woven into a story that makes it more realistic. Hope is a survivor and has moved somewhat on, but soon has to go back and face her past. She has survived a massacre and has to go back and testify against those involved. I really liked her courage even though it was not what she wanted. I think that facing the past maybe helped her to move on somewhat. She also had to learn to trust others as she had to trust opening up to Lance was the right thing. I received a copy of the book from the publisher, the review is my own.
