All Things Hidden Description

Her family life has been rough ever since her mother, hating Alaska, took Gwyn's younger sister back to Chicago to live. Dr. Jeremiah Vaughan finds his life suddenly turned upside down when his medical license is stripped away after he loses an affluent patient. In a snowball effect, he then loses his engagement to Gwyn's sister, Sophia. When the government decides to send a group of families to Alaska in hopes of making a better life, Dr. Hillerman sends a letter urging Jeremiah to join his practice. Thinking his secret would be safe in the isolated Alaska Territory, Jeremiah agrees. Gwyn and Jeremiah soon recognize a growing attraction to each other. But when another suitor enters the scene and Jeremiah's secret is revealed, their hopes for a future are threatened.

The Matanuska Project: 200 families relocate to 1935 Alaskan Territory. FDR's New Deal colony. Through the fictional Hillerman medical family and a young surgeon driven from Chicago, the authors tell the tale of the hard historical days of Palmer, Alaska. Pioneers of the snow territory.
Secrets, menace, disease, & danger accompany arriving pioneers that causes heartache at a time when `hope' is most needed.
Crisscross threads of individual lives turn this historical romance into suspense. Although most of the colonists work together to build homes prior to winter; there are thefts and heinous crimes.
There is an underlying theme of unfounded prejudice--a negative human trait older than the Bible. It remains an issue today.
Is this a stand-alone by Tracie Peterson and Kimberly Woodhouse? Is it a series start? Should be! Give us another historical Alaska adventure.
This story grabs readers fast and clings throughout, up to the epilogue. Desire to know the outcome drove my reading to frenzy in the final 50 pages; only to find the action escalate. For men and girls, teens and older.

TOP 50 REVIEWER
All Things Hidden, by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse is a book that I got from Bethany House Publishers to read and review. I have been a fan of Tracie Petersons for years now and enjoy most of her work. This, however, is the first that I have read of Kimberley Woodhouse’s work. But I am happy to say that I greatly enjoyed this story.
I have noticed in the past that Tracie Peterson has a tendency to almost rush a story, unless it’s in a series and she has more time to draw it out. But this is one time when I don’t feel that was the case at all. I think that we got to see a full telling of this tale and it was nicely done.
We got to see this story from different points of view and I think that really added to the overall effect of the story, because this book wasn’t just about one or two people, but a whole community of people.
This book was about the founding of a colony in the Alaskan territory in 1935. It was also about the struggles about a young doctor to find his way in life after some unfortunate circumstances had befallen him. And it was about a young woman, trained by her doctor father to be a nurse, and the good times and the bad times she and her family and friends have gone through as they work to make a life for themselves in Alaskan.
As I said, I am a fan of Tracie Peterson, but I have also been disappointed with some of her work in the past. This, however, is a truly great read. It is inspirational, with the message that even in our darkest moments, even when we struggle to believe, God is always there for us.
I highly recommend this book.
