"Rekindled" by Tamera Alexander

Rekindled by Tamera Alexander is about Kathryn and Larson, a married couple struggling to save their ranch in the Colorado territory in 1864.  Larson takes off on what he expects to be a 3-day business trip but doesn’t return until five months later, scarred but more in love with his wife than ever.  Having a new found faith in God, he prays she will still want him.  She prayed during that time that God would take care of him and bring him home, but when he returned, she didn’t even recognize him! 

This is a fantastic historical Christian fiction novel that kept my interest right from the first page to the last.  It has touching moments, action, some mystery and a strong romantic plot.  I liked how the chapters alternated between Larson’s perspective and Kathryn’s.  The main theme of this book is to appreciate what you have and not judge others by outward appearances.  This is the first book in the Fountain Creek Chronicles series.  I LOVED IT and couldn’t help but pull for the couple to be reunited. 

(Karen's review, 5 stars)
