INCREDIBLE DEBUT!
A perfect blend of history and romance, I found Ryshia Kennie’s From the Dust to be a double treasure.
The story unfolds as recently widowed Eva Edwards struggles to coax a crop out of the dusty land. She must succeed in running her farm if she is to provide security for herself and her young step daughter, Maggie. Strong, stubborn and beautiful, Eva is determined to succeed. But she soon discovers a bigger threat in Tate Prescott Brown, the wealthy Toronto veterinarian who stakes a claim to her land. As the unlikely romance unfolds gently and tenderly between them, the reader cannot help but cheer for the vulnerable and headstrong Eva and kind, oh-so-sexy Tate to overcome the obstacles that would keep them apart.
Truly an artist with words, Ms. Kennie’s descriptions of the Saskatchewan prairie are so powerful I could almost feel the gentle prairie winds, almost taste the grit of dust on my tongue. Kennie has succeeded in creating a tender love story that touches the very heart, and an endearing cast of characters that will long live on in my memory.
Highly recommended.
