THE GOLD IN THESE HILLS by Joanne Bischof
This book tells an interesting story, it jumps around from mainly three different points of view, Juniper (June) [who was a mail-order bride] Cohen, her missing husband John Cohen in the historical part, and Johnny Sutherland, a century later who has purchased their historic home and much of the land that used to be the boomtown of Kenworthy, California. Johnny is going through a painful divorce as he tries to make the cabin into a nurturing home for his children for their visits and runs his remodeling business.
Johnny comes across letters that were written by June to her missing husband John. She stays true to his memory as she raises their 3-year-old daughter Bethany in what is becoming a ghost town.
I like the story that is told, it seems to jump around a lot, though. It is a nice Christian, inspirational novel. Highly recommend.
I am thankful for the complimentary copy of #thegoldinthesehills from #netgalley I was under no obligation to post a review.
