Whispers in the Wind - A Real Page Turner!

Mavis Engstrom should have shared her secret with her three sons and daughter before now. Cassie Lockwood’s arrival was a shock to Mavis and forced her to reveal secrets she had kept hidden from her children. Ransom didn’t take the news well. The fact

of the matter is he is down right angry. The home he lived in all his life is now in jeopardy of having to be shared with an outsider. Where is the justice in that? What real proof is there that this woman had claims to half their land? As far as he was concerned Bar E Ranch belonged to the Engstrom’s. His brother Luke felt differently; he was immediately smitten with Cassie and claimed Cassie was the one for him.

Mavis soon finds herself being drawn to Cassie. She feels a connection with this young lady. Is it because of Adam, Cassie’s father? She once was in love with Adam but ended up marrying Adam’s best friend Ivar Engstrom.

Cassie Lockwood’s father was part owner of a Wild West Show. After his death Cassie continued with her trick riding and shooting act, but now the show was disbanded due to failing revenues. The only hope she has of making a living is the deed proving she is half owner of the Bar E Ranch. Would she be able to collect what was due her?

This is the first book that I have read of Lauraine Snelling. I enjoyed it immensely. While I have not read the first book in this series I didn’t feel lost or that I was missing out on what took place in it. Right from page one I was drawn in. I loved how the author made the characters come to life. If you are looking for a good Christian fiction book to read this one is for you. I loved that the author brought God and scriptures into this story. It is a book about trusting and having faith. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

I wish to thank Bethany House Publishers for providing me with this book to read and review. The opinions are mine alone.

Cassie arrives in South Dakota and all through the story tries to learn lessons in trusting God.
Lucas decides he is going to marry Cassie moment he sees her. Mavis forced to reveal secrets her kids did not know when Cassie arrives. Cassie's cabin is attacked and wagon burned because someone don't

like Indians. She is injured in arm right before shooting show. She does not earn the money she hoped to so she can support her family (she has from her show). Questions asked and trust issues we can all relate to. Any book you pick up of Lauraine Snelling's will inspire and encourage you.
