About the Book A Time of Proving

She lost her family to tragedy. He lost his when he ran away. What will second chances cost them?

Miriam Locklin thought she could keep her family together, just as her deceased parents would have wished. But when she is banished to a small Midwestern town to live with an uncle she’s never met, she realizes the fight for her family may be harder than she ever imagined. And she has no one in the little town of Osceola to fight for her.

Determined to clear his name, Jase Hoffman returns to his hometown of Osceola to prove he’s not the villain everyone believes him to be. Facing the people he left behind is no easy task. When he unexpectedly meets Miriam—for the second time—he can’t help but be drawn to her. But his broken relationships prove he’s no good at family.

As their feelings for each other grow stronger, one man could destroy everything Jase and Miriam hold dear. Yet love is only true if it’s been tested…and the hardest test is yet to come.

 
A Time of Proving can be read as a standalone or as a continuation of the Home to Osceola series.
 
Faith and danger mix on the Nebraska prairie, and characters discover the value of family ties and love. Fans of Lauraine Snelling and Tracie Peterson are sure to enjoy.

My Thoughts on A Time of Proving

I love a good historical fiction novel!  And of course, this one did not disappoint.  A Time of Proving is a wonderful historical fiction novel that you need to read whether as a stand-alone novel or as part of a series. I always advocate for reading as many books as possible so of course I’m going to say read the other ones first and then this one.  But if you’re crunched for time, you can read this one and then later go back and read the others. 

I’m from a small town, so of course I loved the small town feel of this novel.  Plus it takes place in Nebraska.  I’m a Missouri gal but live less than 15 minutes from the border to Nebraska, and my husband was born and raised in Nebraska, so I love reading novels set there. 

Now, here’s where it gets fun. 

This is a romance novel.  This is a historical fiction novel.  But this also has some mystery and some suspense thrown in for good measure. Oh, and it has some comic relief as well.  In total, it is a delightful read that you’re going to love!

Miriam and her siblings were split up after their parents died.  There’s a man determined to marry Miriam, and she’s determined not to.  Add in Jase, who is a wonderful character, and he jumps in to help her, causing things to be set in motion. 

This is one of those novels that once you start reading, you’re not going to want to stop!
