OUT of the ASHES
THE HEART of ALASKA • BOOK TWO by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse
REVIEWER
Cindy Martin
In their latest addition to the Heart of Alaska series, award-winning authors Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse transport readers to Alaska’s Curry Hotel in the 1920s with a story about two people seeking hope and healing from the violence of their pasts. By actually visiting Alaska and conducting months of research, the authors masterfully created yet another historically accurate and insightful piece of Christian fiction, a perfect companion to their first book in the series, IN the SHADOW of DENALI. Young widow Katherine Demarchis is traveling with her grandmother, attempting to recover from an arranged marriage to an abusive husband. Katherine is taken aback when she encounters her past love, Jean-Michael Langelier, vacationing from France with his sister Collette. He, too, is hoping to escape the horrors he faced in the Great Syrian Revolt of 1925. While Katherine struggles to overcome the scars of the physical and mental abuse she endured while married to her now deceased spouse, Jean-Michael suffers the trauma of recurring nightmares about his horrific experiences during the war with his injured leg as a painful reminder. With a renewed faith and trust in God, will they rediscover the bond they once had? For Peterson and Woodhouse, writing is a ministry. “It is our hope you see that God can take our worst circumstances—our shattered pieces—and transform the ashes into an exquisite masterpiece.” OUT of the ASHES is a definitely a page-turner, full of twists and unexpected outcomes. It’s one you won’t want to miss. Published by Bethany House, OUT of the ASHES is available for purchase at local independent bookstores, as well as Amazon and other online booksellers.
