Forever Hidden
introduces us to the Powell sisters whose story we can continue to
follow in The Treasures of Nome
series. Set in the early 1900s, readers get to see the treatment of
the day of pulmonary disease and stroke, complicated by living in the
Alaska Territory. The main characters in this novel are models of
faith and strength, but also demonstrate the struggles with
forgiveness and following one's own agenda that even stalwart
Christians face. This novel also addresses the wisdom of keeping
secrets, even when it seems the right thing to do.
As
always Peterson and Woodhouse have crafted a story not meant solely
to entertain, but also to encourage and challenge. As with many
series these days, this one is built around a family of three
siblings with a book devoted to each. Interestingly, The
Treasures of Nome begins with
the focus on the middle sister. The eldest and youngest are polar
opposites, and I cannot wait to see the direction their stories take.
I am grateful to have received a copy of Forever Hidden
from Bethany House via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I
was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no
monetary compensation.
