The Black Rose - Book 3 Empire In Pine

[Tracy Krauss]

The saga continues in The Black Rose, Book Three in the Empire In Pine Series by Naomi Musch. A serious rift comes between identical twin sisters Corianne and Jesilyn Beaumont which causes Jesilyn to run away from home in shame. But Wisconsin’s economy has fallen on tough times and with no way to make a living, Jesilyn becomes desperate enough to sink to depths that even she had not imagined. In her darkest hour, idealistic young preacher Paul Winters steps in to help, but he might be getting himself in for more than he bargained for. Meanwhile, Corianne’s bitterness and unwillingness to forgive threaten to jeopardize her chances at finding true love. This turn of the century historical novel is an excellent end to the saga, with tender romance and a compelling story line. Ultimately, it testifies to the fact that God can take imperfect people, along with all their baggage and mistakes, and make something beautiful. I highly recommend the entire series.
