Once again, I was asked if I wanted to be a part of a book review blog tour. This book that didn’t interest me, but my wife wanted to read it. Here’s her review:

“With Endless Sight” is the third installment in a trilogy called Crossroads of Grace which, rather than being the story of one person or family carried through several books, are based on the common theme of the dangers that fell on single women out in the Wild West. This book in particular dwells on themes of forgiveness and compassion.

Fifteen year old Belinda and her family are leaving their plush business and home in the east and setting off on a journey to Wyoming because their father is secretly trying to save their family from the shame of a ruined reputation due to bankruptcy. The father tries to make the journey as painless as possible by booking them on a stagecoach rather than going in a wagon train. Though the journey starts well many circumstances arise in Belinda’s life that could have left her bitter toward God and all men in general. Her strong faith carries her though some very dark times and she allows God to work through her to bring healing and spiritual life to those around her. There are many who wronged this innocent teenage girl, but she chose to forgive each and every one and leaned on God to carry her through many tragic situations.

When she finally escapes her captors she lands in a brothel where she was protected because of her age and youthful appearance. The three ladies there shower her with affection, but it becomes clear to her that if she stays her beliefs will be compromised to a life of prostitution. Once again she allows God to lead her out of her present circumstances and into much more uncertain ones and once again she is called on to show forgiveness and compassion to those she could have blamed for every unfortunate event she had suffered through.

If you are looking for an answer to why bad things happen to good people, you probably will not find it in this book. However, if you want to know how to respond when bad things happen to good people then this book is a great place to start.
