Review # 1 was written on 2018-03-28 00:00:00 Mike Bingham This entry in the series really started off with a bang. A grieving mother whose baby died three days earlier hears a baby crying and goes searching. She finds a baby and through a series of misunderstandings is taken for his mother and knowing he's hungry begins nursing him. Lily is angry at God for the death of her daughter and for the abuse she suffered as a child at the hand of her minister father. She wants nothing to do with God. The baby she is nursing belongs to a traveling preacher who found the baby a few days earlier along with his murdered parents. Incapable of feeing the newborn, Elijah hires Lily away from the traveling show to which she belongs to care for Samuel until he can eat solid food. The sparks fly as the highly educated Lily verbally assaults the fairly new believer turned preacher with her knowledge of scripture. This book deals with questions on the death of the young and innocent, the biblical stance on sorcery/mediums, child abuse, and being unequally yoked. There are no easy answers and Prairie Storm does a good job of dealing with these issues in a realistic way. The only misstep is in the reaction of Lily's "friend" in the traveling show. I didn't find her reaction and reasoning as sound as it could have been. Overall, a solid closing to this trilogy.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-29 00:00:00 Jonathan Tumin I enjoyed this book, but not as much as book #2. This one had a woman telling fortunes and reading hands and stuff and it made me uncomfortable. However, it is not as if it was painted as something good in the book.
