Mark and Priscilla had to endure an "arranged" marriage but they didn't let that stop them from making the best of it, and learning about one another. Their pasts catch up to them, they learn a lot about what it means to wholly accept oneself, and they learn that there will always be a seat by the hearth for each other to continue their journey in life as not just friends, but as an actual couple.
This book is filled with ups, downs, hope and understanding. Amy Clipston's trademark messages of acceptance and love are woven perfectly through out this incredible journey. God is definitely working on Mark and Priscilla within these pages and I won't soon forget them! They are on my keeper shelf to stay. Mark's play boy ways, and Priscilla's uneasiness are over come by the true love of friendship. Definitely a 5 star worthy novel in this reader's honest opinion! I can't wait for another beautifully chiseled novel from this talented author!

From very early on, this turns into a journey novel, where he starts off alone with a simple journey and task to achieve and gradually meets people who join him along the way. Once he is reunited with the rest of the dwarves he finds he has been set up as a rival to the king of one of the tribes and has to go on a quest to prove his worth. At this point, knowing there were 4 follow-up books, I feared this quest was going to be drawn out over the 5 books and what had been a decent paced novel up to then would suddenly falter (see Wheel of Time series!). However, without spoilers, the quest is completed within this book. Such an epic quest in a little over 700 pages is testament to Heitz's pacing and ability to keep the story on track. Despite the scale of the quest, he isn't afraid to jump days or dozens of miles to keep to the important events of the story.
I really enjoyed the character development, in all of the dwarves and the cast of other races and creeds introduced along the way, and found the story to be truly gripping and enjoyable.

Tried & True is a gripping journey about forgiveness and finding true identity. Kylie's demanding Pa is sick with grief over the loss of his son and does not know how to take care of, or love his daughters for who they are. Powerful cattleman, Gage Coulter, would like nothing better than to reclaim Kylie's land as his own. Aaron Masterson is captivated by Kylie from the moment they meet. But Aaron wants to live a life in the mountains and Kylie longs for the civilization of the East. Attempts to scare her off her land by persons unknown, opens doors Kylie never dreamed of. Throughout her journey, her faith is tested and tried. But she stands strong and remains true to herself.
It was next to impossible for me to put this book down. I was transported to the mountains of Idaho in the height of the land rush every time I began to read. Feeling the fear, the love, the determination that Kylie felt. Very captivating. I am especially grateful to Mary Connealy for the way she is able to portray a Historical Fiction "Romance" very tastefully. I am excited to read the rest of the series!
