"Ida wants a career more than anything else, so she shrugs off the suitors and pointed "suggestions" that young ladies don't belong in business. Will it take unexpected love -- or unexpected danger -- for Ida to realize where her priorities truly lie?"
After joining her sisters in Cripple Creek, Ida Sinclair wants nothing more than to advance her ambitions in the business world. How better to do that than to come under the tutelage of a successful businesswoman, Mollie O'Bryan, herself? Through trials, Ida finds out just where most people stand when it comes to the idea of women working outside of the home. Yet those oppositions are what makes Ida stronger.
From the moment she stepped foot in Cripple Creek she was constantly bumping into Tucker Raines, a traveling preacher who was temporarily taking over his ill father's Ice Company. Tucker and Ida grow closer through their encounters and strike up romantic feelings that she doesn't want to accept as true.
But do they each place God as first priority in their life? Or must they seek to discover Him as their only source of strength throughout the events that will unfold in each of their lives?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Mona Hodgeson has an entirely pleasant and gripping style of writing making it easy to follow along and enjoy. The story was both inspiring and convicting. How often do we place God as second, third or fourth priority in our lives, while focusing our mind, soul and strength on something else? Unfortunately for me, it is too often. Mrs. Hodgeson has woven a powerful message through the stories of both Ida Sinclair and Tucker Raines.
There isn't anything I can point out that I disliked in this book. There was only one occurrence where I put the book down for more than a week, but that had nothing to do with a lack of interest in it. Rather, I had to put it aside due to a busy schedule. So, yesterday, I set out to fix that and read the second half of the book. In fact, I stayed up pretty late finishing the book. No matter how tired I was, there was no way I was going to put it down.
I did find out that this was the second book in The Sinclair Sisters of Cripple Creek series after I had requested the book. I didn't know whether I would be confused as to the characters or things taking place or not. Thankfully, I didn't run into that problem at all. It was easy to jump right in and have an understanding of who each person was. And, hey, now I'm going to be checking into getting the first book out to read.
I would recommend this book to girls who enjoy Historical Fiction ages 15 and up. There was a few instances of unscrupulous men, but nothing too graphic and much needed for the storyline.
