Destined for You by Tracie Peterson – 5 Stars

 


What can I say Tracie Peterson always a winner in my book.  Historical Christion romance.  This one set in 1869 Duluth, Minnesota with info included on what it was like to live and work on the waters of Lake Superior with the fishing trade.  There was also much about the railroad race completion was fierce back then as to who would get theirs done first…Duluth or Superior, Wisconsin.  There was a lot going on in the stories, a lot to think about.  Tracie Peterson always leaves me thinking about the story afterward, she weaves her words well!

 

I received this book free from NetGalley.com in the kindle format.  My comments and opinions are my own freely given.  #DestinedForYou #NetGalley #TraciePeterson

 

Description from NetGalley:

In 1869, Gloriana Womack's family is much smaller since smallpox killed her mother and two of her siblings. She lives in a modest cottage in Duluth, Minnesota, with her father and young brother, and she has dedicated her life to holding her tiny, fractured family together--especially as her father is frequently gone on long fishing trips. Their livelihood may come from the waters of Lake Superior, but storms on the lake can be dangerous, even to those who know it well.

Luke Carson has come to Duluth to help shepherd the arrival of the railroad to the city's port, and he's eager to be reunited with his brother, Scott, who recently moved there with his pregnant wife. Competition for the railroad is fierce, with the neighboring city of Superior, Wisconsin, fighting for the tracks to come through their town instead. But the real danger lies in a resident of Duluth who is determined to have his revenge upon Luke.

When tragedy brings Gloriana and Luke together, they help each other through their grief and soon find their lives inextricably linked. If they survive the trials ahead, could it be possible they've been destined for each other all along?
