Treasured Grace Heart of the Frontier Tracie Peterson 9780764213274 Books

Treasured Grace: Heart of the Frontier is the first book in a new series by Tracie Peterson. This book explores the story of Grace as she moves west with her sisters. She takes a job with a doctor at a mission and meets a man who captures her interest. Unfortunately, illness besets the mission and so does personal arguments between Grace and some of the others.

This book is rich in detail yet not so detailed that you get bogged down in it. The premise is believable and the characters are well-developed. The ending makes you want to read the next book in the series and see what the wild west has in store for the main characters.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.

Treasured Grace Heart of the Frontier Tracie Peterson 9780764213274 Books Reviews

Having read books 2 and 3 of Tracie Peterson's Heart of the Frontier series, I knew a bit more going into this book than I normally would have. Nevertheless, seeing the story play out was very enjoyable and I again appreciated the way in which true historical events were used and people portrayed.

Having Grace (Flanagan) Martindale's first marriage only be shown in retrospect was a choice I appreciated, as the Right Reverend Martindale would have been an insufferable character. Alex Armistead, on the other hand, was an interesting choice as a protagonist and I enjoyed his interactions with Grace as they discuss attitudes and she quickly adapts her pre-conceived notions. Having attitudes of the day shown in this way was another choice that enhanced my enjoyment of the story.

Whether or not the reader is familiar with the Whitman Massacre and the tensions surrounding it, this is a novel and a series that weaves them into enjoyable, though sometimes necessarily unpleasant, fictional storylines. What may feel like misery heaped on top of misery felt like a reflection of the place and time, so the moments of faith, love, and hope shone through.

Now, all this is not to say that I found no fault. In particular, the story did seem to get bogged down from time to time and Grace's propensity for announcing "I am a healer" still has me wanting to roll my eyes.

If you enjoy Historical Christian Romance, or Historical Fiction with romance, set in 1800's Oregon Territory, then give this trilogy a try. This is not one for the faint of heart, however, as this is the book in which the actual historical event known as the Whitman Massacre is portrayed. I do recommend reading them in order for maximum enjoyment.

Tracie Peterson is a consummate writer of historical fiction. “Treasured Grace” is based on real events that occurred in the mid 19th century in the Oregon Territory between Indian tribes and white missionaries and traders. The facts are gruesome and don’t paint either side in false positivity.

The story is focused on 3 sisters who are moving west from St. Louis. They are on their own as the oldest has been recently widowed on the trail leaving her two minor siblings in her care. Because of careful planning and due to the fact that she’s an healer, Grace and her sisters arrive at the mission able to support themselves. The formally educated MD is not thrilled with Grace’s skills nor others interest in her/them. Friction between Grace, the doc and the Indians is significant. The romance aspects are secondary and overshadowed by tragedy or dragged out to the very end and receive a quick wrap up in a very brief last chapter; the cause for loosing a *

The characters are well drawn as is the plot and prose. There is no foul language but there is violence including rape. The descriptions are mild and not gratuitous or exploitative. It would be difficult to write about these events and be any more respectful than Peterson has been. “Treasured Grace” is not a feel good historical romance. It is an important book that will instruct, educate and give insight.
