The Way Of Love by Tracie Petterson – 5 Stars


The Way Of Love by Tracie Petterson – 5 Stars



The story line was well researched.  Faith Kenner was the product of a rape by an Indian which I believe I read about in a previous book.  She has been passing for white for years.  She has always been helping her Mother and has the gift of healing those in need especially the native people living on the reservation.  She knows she’ll never be able to marry as Indian people are not allowed to marry anyone other than their own nationality.  She wants to go to Medical school and is accepted.  This book is all about having faith in God, romance, suspense, history and a little mystery.  What more could a person want.  I loved the ending.



I received an advance reader copy of this book in kindle format.  The opinion of this book and thoughts are my own and freely given.  I received the book through Netgalley.com.

Description

Faith Kenner is pursuing her dream to become a doctor at Willamette University's medical college so she can use her gift for healing to help those in need, especially the native populations forced onto reservations and then neglected. When she meets Andrew Gratton, a handsome riverboat captain who has been injured on his ship, she uses her skills to tend his wound, and a friendship grows between them. Andrew admires her strength and willingness to stand her ground, and Faith appreciates his intelligence and compassion. But Faith holds a secret that means their friendship can never become anything more, so she must bury her feelings for Andrew as best she can.

When her fellow students put together lectures to speak out against Oregon's racist laws and policies, Faith is eager to participate. But some powerful men have other plans for their state, and soon Faith is caught in the middle of a plot to push the local Indian tribes to rebel. As she and Andrew fight for the rights of others, their love for each other grows. Can they trust that God has a way toward love for them, or will her secret stand in the way of their one chance for true happiness?
