Where the Fire Falls: A Vintage National Parks Novel

By Karen Barnett

Book Overview

Stunning Yosemite National Park sets the stage for this late 1920s historical romance with mystery, adventure, heart, and a sense of the place John Muir described as "pervaded with divine light."

Watercolorist Olivia Rutherford has shed her humble beginnings to fashion her image as an avant-garde artist to appeal to the region's wealthy art-collectors. When she lands a lucrative contract painting illustrations of Yosemite National Park for a travel magazine, including its nightly one-of-a-kind Firefall event, she hopes the money will lift Olivia and her sisters out of poverty.

After false accusations cost him everything, former minister Clark Johnson has found purpose as a backcountry guide in this natural cathedral of granite and trees. Now he's faced with the opportunity to become a National Parks Ranger, but is it his true calling?

As Clark opens Olivia's eyes to the wonders of Yosemite, she discovers the people are as vital to the park's story as its vistas--a revelation that may bring her charade to an end.

Fire is from GOD

Where The Fire Falls Is a lovely historical romantical parental Spiritual story. Poor Olivia - she is working her GOD-given gift to the bone - why? you ask, well for a heck of an unreal serious reason and that is something you really need to find out what it is. I tell you, at parts my heart ached for her - does she get help? She needs finances bad - why? You ask - again you really have to read this tender story. Does she find love? Does what she is working for work out? Does she follow what GOD wants her to do? I received a copy of this review from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own. if you would like to read more of my Christian book reviews go to christianlybookreviewers.blogspot.com - I look forward to seeing you there.
