My Review:
**A Story That Stole My Heart**
Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska contains two stories that intertwine. Ginny Marshall has had a rough life. She was abandoned by her mother at a young age, raised in California’s foster care system, and had been bounced from home to home. She is now an up and coming musician, who is running from all of the pain from her past… loss, abuse, and a broken heart.
Ellie’s story begins in 1928 and intertwines with Ginny’s in the form of letters written in the early years of Glacier Bay. Her life also was filled with hurt, loss and, disappointment. She is also looking for security, certainty, and surety. As both stories unfold, parallels do, too. Both accounts woven together into beautiful stories of hope, redemption and pure love.
Ginny has been presented with a music contract that any musician would be overjoyed to sign. As appealing the offer is, she finds herself needing to seek advice from someone who has her best interest at heart. She heads to Glacier Bay, Alaska to find her former beau, Brett Miller, the only person she feels that will give her the sound advice she needs. She learns that she is really seeking closure.
Ellie, whose life was unexpectedly turned upside down, retreated to Strawberry Point (which has later renamed Glacier Bay) for an entirely different reason. She was seeking employment as a governess for a widowed minister, his four children, and his nephew. Her arrival was unexpected, and she didn’t feel welcomed. Her faith, determination and sense of responsibility kept her serving this hurting family, even as she was being pushed away.
The authors, Tricia and Ocieanna, have beautifully woven these lives, who lived nearly 100 years apart, together into this hard-to-put-down modern-day romance. Both of the characters grew and developed chapter by chapter; from being insecure and unsure about life, and about themselves, to having a confidence only God can give.
About the Book:
Singer Ginny Marshall is one signature away from the recording contract of her dreams—a deal that would guarantee success for the former foster child, who still struggles to bury the memories of her painful childhood. But Ginny needs advice from the one person who will look out for her best interests—her former fiancé, Brett Miller. She travels to the remote town of Glacier Bay, Alaska, where the town’s colorful characters and stunning scenery provide respite from LA’s pressures.
In Glacier Bay, Ginny discovers a box of old letters and is swept up in the love story between Clay, an early missionary to Alaska Territory, and Ellie, the woman who traveled there to be his children’s governess. When Ginny is reunited with Brett in Glacier Bay, will she discover—as Ellie did—that healing and love are sometimes found in the most unexpected places?
