"The battle between science and faith was real.” Eliza Mills was at a unique point in time: when women were venturing into occupations held by men and a time of the discovery of dinosaur fossils as well as the questioning of the correlation between science and the Bible. All Eliza wants to do is point people to the God who created these awesome creatures.
She is also battling the conception of rich girl privilege and advantage. In addition she is pondering the possibility of more than friendship with Devin Schmitt.
This was a well-researched and engaging look at what was happening in the scientific world in 1916. I appreciated the portrayal of faith in the main characters and the growth shown. Devin illustrated integrity and steadfastness. Eliza demonstrated determination and owned up to her mistakes and doubts.
The romance was slow, steady and principled. As danger stalked Eliza, the villainous actions and turmoil added to the dramatic aspect.
Since I have been intrigued by archeology for a very long time, this series fueled my interest and satisfied my thirst for knowledge of this topic.

BackCover Blurb:
In the bustling world of paleontology in 1916, Eliza Mills defies societal expectations to pursue her passion. Having published her early groundbreaking papers anonymously, she has finally earned her place at the Carnegie Museum and seizes the opportunity to work at Dinosaur National Monument with a renowned paleontologist. But things in Jensen, Utah, aren't what they appear. When Eliza gets the chance to dig up bones at a ranch with a dark history, it sparks a chain of events that will rock the very fabric of her carefully constructed world.
Devin Schmitt, Eliza's closest friend since childhood, harbors unspoken feelings for her but knows he will never be able to win her heart. Just as he vows to give her up for good, Eliza begs him to visit her in Utah for another grand adventure. He reluctantly agrees, and within a few days of his arrival, he and Eliza find themselves entangled in a web of danger where the stakes are much higher than they ever anticipated. In a race against time, Devin and Eliza must hold on to God as their hope as they navigate a treacherous terrain of betrayal to unbury the truth and save Eliza from those who wish to see her fail.
