A Life So True (A Minnesota Legacy) by Tracie Peterson

 

Evelyn Turner is determined to work at her physician father's side as he opens a hospital for Minneapolis's poor. But when nursing makes her physically ill, she faces an impossible choice between the promises she's made and her own limitations.

Maxwell Garrison is helping manage his father's investments through the financial crisis of 1893, and he's especially interested in their sawmill businesses. At a Turner family fund raiser, he is horrified when he overhears his father and other mill owners plotting to commit arson and insurance fraud. When Evie and Max meet at the same fund raiser, a connection sparks between them. As their interests in each other grow, they confide their secrets and agree to guard each other's trust.

Then a suspicious and devastating fire sets Minneapolis ablaze, and Max and Evie fear the worst. Even amid the ashes of deception, can they build a life together?

My Review

This is a read that reads like a gift, from beginning to end I was page turning, but hoping I could go on forever!
A beautifully written faith based book, and I looked and their is a gift of a third book coming in November! I did read the first book in this series and you don't need to read it to enjoy this one, but it also was so good!
We are offered a glimpse into the Turner's family life, and a young man, Max Garrison sees what he never had, rather sad. Max also sees Evelyn Turner, and we are given some sweet romance.
The Turner family have a heart for those less fortunate, and we are with them as disaster strikes the area, we are also wondering if there was intent on what happened?
We also learn of some secrets being kept by members of the Turner family, some that will make you chuckle, and others, well, I love this family!
With the romance in the air, and life changing for the Turners, I can't wait to come back!
I received this book through Net Galley, and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
