Release Date: March 5, 2024

She’s desperate to save the homestead she’s poured her life into…but is a marriage of convenience with him the answer?

Alone in the Kentucky wilderness, Keturah Elliot finds herself bereft of family and facing the looming threat of losing all she has left. After toiling alongside her demeaning father for two years, she cannot bear to lose the homestead they built with their own hands. Keturah has no choice but to trust the Lord’s urging—she must marry to protect all she holds dear.

But when a candidate presents himself in the form of a wealthy dandy from back East, can she find enough redeeming qualities to accept him?

Haunted by his mother’s death and a lifetime of failure and isolation, Daniel Scott sees little hope of a better situation when he’s sent to a remote Kentucky station. But when he meets a captivating Scottish woman in need of a husband such as him, he’s determined to break the cycle and prove himself once and for all.

Brought together by circumstances beyond their control, can these two opposites overcome their challenges to build the future they both crave?

My Thoughts on Reverence in the Wilderness

Let’s get the hard stuff out of the way first, shall we?  The author talks about in this post(go down to more from the author) that she dedicates this book to all women who have had a miscarriage or threatened to have a miscarriage.  As someone who had a miscarriage last year, I appreciate the attention given and the fact that we’re talking about it.

Not only do you get the hard stuff but you get the marriage of convenience trope as well.  I love a good marriage of convenience story and this one was fun!  Add in that the main man is so fun and unique for his role in this novel.  Oh, and this is part of a series.  Better read the whole series!

I loved this novel.  I’ve had the pleasure of reading the entire series so far and really cannot recommend this historical fiction novel/series enough.  The author has done a great job bringing the characters to life and giving us a historically accurate fiction piece to enjoy while curled up with a hot drink and a blanket.

More from Andrea

In many ways, Reverence in the Wilderness is deeply personal for me.

To read about Daniel Scott is to receive a glimpse at my own husband. Dark hair and a golden-brown gaze…and my complete opposite in nearly every way. He is also talkative, entertaining, and gentlemanly. He definitely shares Daniel’s fun-loving and caring nature. Just as God blessed Keturah with Daniel, God blessed me with a man who perfectly complements me while keeping life interesting.

And, not to provide spoilers, but the miscarriage was drawn from one of my own experiences.

During my most recent pregnancy, I experienced a threatened miscarriage.

I just knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had lost my baby, and in that moment, I glimpsed the hopelessness one would face during a miscarriage. Thanks to the prayers of others and the good Lord above, I was blessed with a healthy pregnancy from then on out and now I have a beautiful, healthy baby boy.

However, there are so many women who must face that grief and loss in full force. And for always, my heart will break for them. As soon as I returned home from the hospital that night, I knew I had to represent their plight within these pages.

This book is dedicated to every woman who has ever experienced a miscarriage or threatened miscarriage.
