About the book: A Heart's Betrayal (Thomas Nelson, June 2015)
Emmie finds shelter in the arms of a soldier, but her secret could drive them apart.
When Emmie Croftner answered the door to her late husband's home, she discovered an awful truth: her deceased husband was a bigamist. And what's more, the home she thought she inherited never belonged to her at all.
Suddenly displaced, powerless, and ashamed, Emmie can't stay in Wabash, Indiana. She makes a hopeful start for Fort Laramie, Wyoming, to find her friend Sarah Montgomery and a new beginning. But when she arrives, she discovers she's pregnant---and without a husband. The new start she'd hoped for slips from her fingers.
But then she meets Isaac Liddle, a handsome soldier with a kind heart. When he begins to court her, Emmie wonders whether she could ever really be his---and whether she dares to tell him she is carrying another man's baby.
My review:
I liked this story about a girl who discovers she's been betrayed and goes west as her only option. I liked Emmie and felt sorry for her. I can't imagine what it would have been like to not have options and head west into the unknown. It was nice to see Sarah and Rand again and see where their lives have taken them. There's some setup for a romance brewing between Emmie and Isaac, though Emmie doesn't want to trust a man ever again. When she discovers she's pregnant, she figures no one will ever want her now. She also struggles with believing God cares about her. It was interesting learning more about the Native American situation at the time. If you like historical fiction, you might want to check it out.
