"With Endless Sight" Blog Tour & Giveaway

Behind every story of loss is the promise of grace...

It's rare that a book has me up til 1:00 a.m. these days, but I couldn't put "With Endless Sight" by Allison Pittman down. It's the third installment in The Crossroads of Grace series (although the books stand alone), and I plan to put the first two on my list.

From the back cover:

Belleville, Illinois and Wyoming Territories, 1861

Born into a life of privilege, fourteen-year-old Belinda never questions her security, even as she leaves Illinois with her family to discover new adventures in the Oregon Territory . But when disaster falls, Belinda is left wounded, weak, and alone. Her faith in God gives her the only strength she knows in a harsh new world.

Belinda’s journey takes her to a snow-covered mining camp and a red-roofed brothel in the Wyoming mountains, but not before she must spend a lonely winter with the man who took away the life she knew. Throughout the grief and hope of a strange land, Belinda must decide if her faith is big enough to allow her to forgive.

The satisfying conclusion to the Crossroads of Grace series, With Endless Sight offers a rich story of family, new beginnings, and the freedom that grace can bring.

The heroine, Belinda, and her cousin Phoebe (who I didn't like, but did pity) face one difficult circumstance after another, but not in such a way that I kept what else could possibly go wrong. Pittman paints a realistic portrait of life in the 19th century. From the grittiness of the western frontier to the ugliness of the brothel, I was captivated by Belinda's journey.
