summer of the midnight sun by tracie peterson

The summer brings unexpected guests and trouble to Curry. But when a woman naturalist comes to fill the open position and he must work with her, everything becomes complicated. Recent graduate Thomas Smith has returned to the hotel and the people he considers family. The popular Curry Hotel continues to thrive in 1929 as more visitors come to Alaska and venture into the massive national park surrounding Denali. It seems she must keep running, however, and in secret, her boss from Yellowstone arranges for a new job. She has always loved adventure and the great outdoors, and her remote job location also helps keep her away from the clutches of the man to whom she once made a foolish promise. Overall, this was a good read.Tayler Hale is ahead of her time as one of the first women naturalists.

Forgiveness and trust are also present messages in the story. We could all follow Jacob's example of witnessing to Helaina. While some might view this story as a bit preachy, I didn't. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations between Jacob and Helaina. Though she hasn't come to fully except anything, she is beginning to question herself and her beliefs. I didn't feel like he learned or grew much throughout the story. Jayce's development could have been so much more! At the beginning of the story, we learn that he is a new Christian.

Jacob struggles with his faith a little when he meets Helaina, but overall he kept his feet on solid ground. Leah does grow up throughout the story and you can see her mature to her thirty years. Both Leah and Jacob are strong Christian characters already, so there wasn't much development for them. The characters were well-written, but I feel their development was shallow. I could picture the land and the story taking place as I was reading, which I really enjoy! Date Mar 2006 SRP 17.00 Carton Quantity 15 Number of pages 384 Buy E-Book ISBN 9781585588701 Pub. She makes the setting come to life and become an integral part of the story. Summer of the Midnight Sun Baker Publishing Group Summer of the Midnight Sun by: Tracie Peterson series: Alaskan Quest Paperback ISBN 9780764227738 Dimensions 5.5 x 8.375 Pub. Tracie Peterson's description of the land and the ways of life of the people who lived it back then is phenomenal. The story is set in the beautiful and rugged Alaska. Summer of the Midnight Sun was no exception. I've not read one that I haven't enjoyed. Her books are always good and entertaining. As I stated at the beginning, I am a huge fan of Tracie Peterson.
