Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska {Book Review}

I hate it when I completely flake out and miss a deadline. I was supposed to post about this book 4 days ago. It’s not like I hadn’t read it, I just didn’t write & schedule the post. Arg. Anyway, last month, I received a copy of Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska. I’ve had the pleasure of reading several books in the Love Finds You series, both by review and by purchase. I really do enjoy the series and this newest installment by Tricia Goyer and Ocieanna Fleiss (who teamed up on the last book I reviewed) is no exception.

From the Publisher:

Singer Ginny Marshall is one signature away from the recording contract of her dreams-a deal that would guarantee success for the former foster child, who still struggles to bury the memories of her painful childhood. But Ginny needs advice from the one person who will look out for her best interests-her former fiancé, Brett Miller. She travels to the remote town of Glacier Bay, Alaska, where the town’s colorful characters and stunning scenery provide respite from LA’s pressures.

In Glacier Bay, Ginny discovers a box of old letters and is swept up in the love story between Clay, an early missionary to Alaska Territory, and Ellie, the woman who traveled there to be his children’s governess. When Ginny is reunited with Brett in Glacier Bay, will she discover-as Ellie did-that healing and love are sometimes found in the most unexpected places?

As usual, this book by Tricia Goyer (one of my favorites!) and Ocieanna Fleiss, is a wonderful read. I’m pretty sure that I devoured it in a day around Christmas break sometime. The conflict within Ginny was real and tangible. I actually felt terrible WITH her at times. I was taken by the aspect of the letters that wove their way through the book and I was in awe of the love that these two had for each other and the way that they managed to put their hurt aside to care for each other.

Overall, I really enjoyed the story, loved the characters and the setting and story-within-a-story. It’s a really good read for anyone who likes Christian romances or even historical novels. While it was set in modern times, the letters did include some interesting information about the (real) town and the type of people who came and settled there.
