Out of the Ashes

The Heart of Alaska Book 2

by Tracie Peterson & Kimberley Woodhouse

About This Book:

Can the Majesty of Alaska Foster Hope and Healing for Those Who Need it Most?After the death of their father, Collette and Jean-Michel Langelier are no longer tied to post-war France. While his sister dreams of adventure, Jean-Michel is hoping to finally escape reminders of the horrors he faced in the Great Syrian Revolt of 1925. When an unexpected invitation for them to visit Alaska and the Curry Hotel arrives, it seems the perfect opportunity.

Young widow Katherine Demarchis is also traveling to the foot of Mt. Denali with her grandmother--a last trip before she retreats into a quiet and solitary life, finally free of the dangerous husband she was forced to marry. Yet when she encounters there a Frenchman from her past, her plans for the future are thrown into question.

Both haunted by the violence of their pasts, can Katherine and Jean-Michel rediscover the bond they once had? Or, when Jean-Michel's nightmares return with terrifying consequences, will it be impossible to heal what's been broken for so long?

My Thoughts on This Book:

Book 2 in the Heart of Alaska series leaves off a few months after Book 1 ended. We are drawn back to the Curry Hotel with the original characters, Cassidy and her husband Allan and her father as well as the staff from the Curry. We are introduced to new vivid characters that through tragedy find their way to Alaska for one reason or another.

Collette and Jean-Michel are brought to America from France after the war to help Jean-Michel in what he thought was to save his one true love, but he may find more healing in this vast country than he ever thought possible.

Katherine travels to Alaska with her grandmother hoping to get away from the tragedy she can't forget that haunts her everyday. She doesn't just find open countryside but her first ever love.

Can the two of them find love again and be able to put their tragic pasts behind them so they can have a future together? You will be able to find out if you enjoy this second book in the series. Can't wait to read the next installment soon. A delightful treat as always..
