After chasing and killing an outlaw in the Boulder foothills, Harrington finds himself critically wounded and dependent upon a mysterious woman named Callie. When Harrington returns tohis job at the Treasury Department, an unexpected encounter reveals a dangerous masquerade� Can McKay Harrington penetrate the wall of secrecy surrounding Callie�s true identity to share the saving love of Jesus Christ? And what about the love growing in his heart for this woman of mystery? REVIEW: This was by far my favorite of this series. Callie aka Pup is the most delightful character. Her adventuresome nature, ability to turn into any character, and strong desire to know more about Christ made her unique and intriguing. Her foibles when she wasn't in character added wonderful touches of humor. The story line was not just a romance but contained twists of mystery and adventure as well which kept the reader's interest. From start to finish, this was a great read. FAVORITE QUOTES: "Is your heart humble before God? It is if you've given your anxiets to Him, if you're trusting Him completely for every aspect of your life." "Camille was reminded for the thousandth time in their marriage that men and women simply didn't think alike. And to Camille's way of thinking, it was too bad. There would be so much more they could all get done if husbands would just go along with their wives' plans." "What I battle with the most is the future. I worry about what's to come and how I'll handle it. Worry is a sin.... That's a hard one for all of us,...We're often tempted to try to do God's job. All He expects of us is to seek to know our own job and be very good at it."

Review # 2 was written on 2010-06-27 00:00:00 Morris Moton Jr To Know Her by Name is the first Lori Wick title I got. I have a thing for Christian fiction set in this time period, and since I had nothing else to read at the time and the book was hardback for less than $2 at a thrift store, I couldn't pass it up. The story is of the mysterious Callie Jennings. After her outlaw brother was killed in her own home, she was responsible for the decision to allow the agent who killed him to die untended or to try to save him. The decision to save him led to a journey of self-discovery that changed not only her life but the lives of others around her. My experience with the Christian fiction genre is a bit limited. I'll admit that the spiritual side of it didn't draw me in as much as with other writers. Some of the decisions made and lessons learned by the characters seemed to happen in a way that felt odd to me, even a little unrealistic. Some of the spiritual-based dilemmas the characters found themselves in also seemed unrealistic to my thinking- though perhaps both the above issues I found actually have more grounding in real struggles and solutions than I give credit for. The storyline itself was enjoyable, though. Callie's quirks left the character an enjoyable one to read about, and seeing her grow throughout the story was fantastic. The action felt like it dragged a little in some scenes, but some of those scenes were good for giving more depth to the characters, and the action scenes were well-written enough that I actually dreaded the possibility of getting called away when in the middle of one of them. All in all, To Know Her By Name is a good read. Some elements that I didn't care for, but those are mostly easy to overlook in the grand scheme of the story that Lori Wick provides to her readers.
