Warning

The other reviewers have said as much as I could say about how great this book is, but just a warning--if you already read or have Desert Rose by the same author, Nevada Jade is the same basic story, with different names. It isn't an exact copy; Desert Rose has been expanded and a some details changed, but for the most part the story is the same. Nevada Jade is still worth buying, though, just because Linda Chaikin is such a great author and tells a wonderful story.

A book that would inspire you....

Wow! I really enjoyed this one of Linda Chaikin's first novels. It took me awhile to find it and purchase it but I think it was well worth the wait. This book is about a young woman named Jade travelling with her sister, Holly and brother, Shaun to Nevada in 1860 searching for their father, Thomas O'Neil. Jade O'Neil has had a long bout with sickness (tubercluosis) but is determined to settle in at their father's claim and make a living by the portraits she paints. Roark Montgomery is also looking for Thomas O'Neil but to bring him to justice for killing a man and crippling his father who was a well-respected surgeon. Jade and Roark meet as they both search for Thomas and Jade finds herself drawn to the lawman who has come to arrest her father. She also feels depressed about her long illness and was already hurt in her last courtship. She learns that the Lord has good plans for her despite her illness and that she is precious in His sight. Roark must struggle with the feelings of revenge and forgive the man who has shot and crippled his beloved father. A great story on love, forgiveness, romance and discovering one's worth to the Lord. I will read this one again and again.

Perfect!

This book is so good! I couldn't put it down! I recommend this book to anyone who likes Christian romances.

A very entertaining and thought prevoking book.

This is a really excellent book by Linda Chaikin! It's about a young woman named Jade who is weak from almost a lifelong illness known as Tuberculosis and her battles with feelings of unworthiness. Nevada Jade is a very enthralling book about compassion and learning to trust God with ALL the details, including the ones that we pretend don't exist.
