PAULA'S REVIEW:
This is one of those stories that teaches you on several levels. The author tells historical facts in an interesting and engaging way, and she reveals spiritual truths unfolding naturally as her characters live and grow in their faith.
The story takes place in Cheyenne, Wyoming during the horrible winter of 1888 that took many lives and livelihood when temperatures plummeted.
Micah has lost his father and on a neighboring ranch Charlotte has lost her father and brother. Charlotte and her mother are left to run their ranch by themselves.
Charlotte has loved Micah for a very long time echoing the constant love that God has for him. She tries to give him hope and something worth living for. “We have two choices. We either give up on God and walk away, or we trust Him no matter what happens to us.”
The themes gleaned were: things change but God stays the same. He is the solid rock. And my favorite verses crop up yet again. Romans 8:38 & 39. Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
This was a joy to read with real substance. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Heartache has left them emotionally desolate, but traces of love and healing could forge a future.
In the wake of a harsh winter, Micah Hamilton and Charlotte Aldrich are grappling with loss and guilt after the disaster that took the lives of their loved ones. Struggling to cope with his grief, Micah abandons his father's dreams of a prosperous ranch and cuts himself off from the rest of the world.
Charlotte has loved Micah her entire life and is determined not to lose him as well. With her mother's help, she begins coaxing Micah to live again. Despite their enduring heartache, the affection between them deepens, but just as Charlotte thinks her dreams may come true, a scorned suitor threatens everything she holds dear. Micah and Charlotte must embark on a journey of healing and renewal to build a life founded on faith, hope, and love.
A Constant Love is a clean, frontier-era historical romance of heartache, grief, Christian faith, and second chances in the newly developing American West.
