A Mark of Grace

Written by Kimberley Woodhouse

Narrated by Jeanine Bartel

When everything crumbles, her chance for a new beginning hangs in the balance.

Ruth Anniston survived an injury that left her physically scarred, broken, and angry at God. Now, she finds herself working behind the scenes as a kitchen and dining room supervisor at the El Tovar Hotel, hidden away from curious eyes and with little hope of finding love. When money begins
to disappear from the hotel, Ruth’s entire livelihood is put at risk when she lands on the list of suspects.

Frank Henderson has at last succeeded in obtaining his dream job as head chef at the El Tovar. But competition in the kitchen is fierce, and one mistake could cost him his future. As the thefts at the hotel continue, and his affection for Ruth grows, Frank’s career—and his heart—are in jeopardy.

As tensions run high, Ruth and Frank must work together to save the El Tovar.

They find themselves growing closer … but can their combined ingenuity overcome the odds against them?

Reviews for A Mark of Grace

[fcplcataloger · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Secrets of the Canyon has been such an enjoyable series and this book is a fantastic way to end it! Kimberley Woodhouse gives Harvey Girl Ruth Anniston her own story and we are allowed another visit to the famous El Tovar Hotel and the Grand Canyon as it was in the early 1900s. Ruth is the kind of person that we all need in our lives! She's a hardworking, loyal mentor and confidant, but she's now the one who desperately needs support. A serious accident has left her with both physical and emotional scars and it's apparent that Ruth won't ever find healing unless she can accept the help that others are eager to give. The problem is that she's determined to keep everyone at a distance, including the friend who has secretly loved her for years!A Mark of Grace is filled with drama, suspense, and romance, but there's also a beautiful faith message woven into the fascinating historical plot. Ruth's reluctance to accept help reminds us that we've all been guilty of rejecting both human and spiritual help, and it's only through our trust, faith, and total acceptance that we can experience amazing grace. I was especially touched by Woodhouse's eloquent suggestion that any scars that we carry are nothing compared to those of Jesus Christ!I highly recommend A Mark of Grace to all who enjoy historical Christian fiction. It's a book that I didn't want to end and it's part of a series that I will definitely read again!I received a free copy from Bethany House but a favorable review was never required. These thoughts and opinions are my own.

Good conclusion to the trilogy. I got a bit tired of such a strong Christian having so much trouble accepting her injuries, but I suppose it's not that unusual.
