    Bestselling Author Tracie Peterson Teams Up with Kimberley Woodhouse for a Depression-Era Drama Gwyn Hillerman acts as a nurse at her father's medical practice in 1935 rural Alaska. Her family life has been rough ever since her mother, hating Alaska, took Gwyn's younger sister back to Chicago to live. Dr. Jeremiah Vaughan finds his life suddenly turned upside down when his medical license is stripped away after he loses an affluent patient. In a snowball effect, he then loses his engagement to Gwyn's sister, Sophia. When the government decides to send a group of families to Alaska in hopes of making a better life, Dr. Hillerman sends a letter urging Jeremiah to join his practice. Thinking his secret would be safe in the isolated Alaska Territory, Jeremiah agrees. Gwyn and Jeremiah soon recognize a growing attraction to each other. But when another suitor enters the scene and Jeremiah's secret is revealed, their hopes for a future are threatened

      This story mainly takes place in Alaska in the year 1935. What I especially liked about this story is the history I learned about the Matanuska Colonization in Alaska, during the depression era that was going on back home. Where families left the familiar and traveled to the isolated Alaska Territory. I saw Alaska through the eyes of a young woman, who loved her wilderness way of life, grew up there and still saw the beauty all around her every day. It was a harsh and demanding way of life and the author did a good job of painting a realistic picture of that day and time. This for me was not a fast paced story, although near the end it became that way and became a little too fast and ended too quickly. Surprises are always good, but this book surprised me in a way I wasn't expecting at the end.Gwyn Hillerman loves helping her Dad out at his clinic in Alaska. Her mother and younger sister left the uncivilized country years ago and never looked back and even now that hurt and rejection is felt in Gwyn's life at times. But there will soon be an influx of people coming into her little paradise, that will challenge everyone as they seek to live together in primitive conditions and get ready for winter to set in.One of the new arrivals is Dr. Jeremiah Vaughn who finds himself answering the call and coming to Alaksh to work with his mentor and good friend Dr. Hillerman. But what he doesn't tell this special family is that he has just lost his medical license after a patient died in Chicago and he has also been dumped by his fiancee, which turns out to be Gywn's snobby and spoiled little sister.Gwyn and Jeremiah both recognize a growing attraction to each other, but there are many hidden truths that need to be revealed before real and lasting love can be declared. This was a story that wasn't so much about romance, but about people who are struggling with many different hardships in their lives and how each person is different; and about learning to work together and accept each other for who they really are. If you want a good book about Alaska during this time, you won't be disappointed.

      All Things Hidden was a Goodreads, firstreads giveaway that I received free in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Goodreads and Bethany House.I feel this book deserves a solid 3.5 stars. I have to admit that I didn't realize I had requested a Christian inspirational book. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. The setting is rural Alaska in the 1930's where colonists settled to make a new life for themselves during the Depression. It was nice reading about Alaska with its mountain views, wild animals and rustic surroundings. The story flowed well; there was even some mystery and intrigue. The characters held my attention and the ending was satisfying. However, I agree with another reviewer regarding the theology in the book. All Christians do not interpret the Bible identically, so references to, and explanations of scripture can be diverting and bothersome rather than enlightening and upbuilding. This was precisely my experience. I was able to gloss over the parts I didn't agree with, but would have appreciated the book more without it. But after all it is marketed as Christian fiction so I cannot allow my personal feelings about the beliefs presented to detract from my overall rating, and therefore I feel confident about awarding it 3.5 stars.

      Arriving in bookstores earlier this year is All Things Hidden written by Tracie Peterson and Kimberly Woodhouse. I'm a fan of Tracie Peterson's Heirs of Montana series, so I eagerly signed up to review this book.All Things Hidden centers on a young nurse named Gwyn Hillerman, who has been working at her father's clinic in Alaska.Business at the clinic picks up with the Matanuska Project occurred, where 200 families were relocated to Alaska in 1935.The novel jumps to Chicago and centers on Dr. Jeremiah Vaughan, who has just lost his medical license after the death of a patient. Shortly after losing his job, his fiancee calls off their engagement. Out the of blue, he receives a job opportunity from Dr. Hillerman to join his clinic in the Alaska Territory. Dr. Vaughan accepts the offer, as his career doesn't have any other choice.Remember this is a love story, so it isn't too long after Dr. Vaughan's arrival that sparks fly between him and Gwyn.Is it just me, or does the woman (Gwyn) on the cover resemble Alice from Disney's Alice in Wonderland? Minus the nurses hat she is holding on to, the outfit looks just like Alice's.Anyway, this isn't the first Tracie Peterson novel set in Alaska, so she must love the state or have ancestors from there. The book is beautifully written by Peterson and her co-author, Kimberly Woodhouse, though there are a few romantic cliches here and there, the overall plot is nicely done. Overall, All Things Hidden was a delight to read for me last month; on a cold winter afternoon with a hot cup of coffee nearby.*Disclaimer - I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

      Since I am currently studying about the depression for school, I enjoy the chance to learn about history as told through the eyes of others. In reading historical fiction, I am given the chance to learn about some of the lesser parts of historical events. This book takes place during the 1930's and tells of a journey of hundreds of settlers to Alaska Territory. One of the new settlers is a doctor who gets a chance to start over after losing a patient. Another of the characters has lived in the settlement her entire life and has trouble adjusting to the new additions to her town. The story is filled with twists and turns and is sure to leave you wanting for more. Kudos to the authors and hope for another collaboration. I received this book for free to review for Bethany House.

      All Things Hidden by Tracie Peterson & Kimberley Woodhouse was a most enjoyable story which also taught me some American history. Harold Hillerman felt called to take his medical practice to the Alaskan frontier. He moved his wife and two daughters to Alaska early in the twentieth century but his wife and younger daughter had only contempt for the land and the people and moved back to Chicago. Gwyn stayed in Alaska with her father and worked in the medical clinic with him as his nurse. In the era of the Depression, one of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal projects was The Matanuska Colonization. This brought two hundred families to the area where Gwyn lived and soon her doctor father was greatly overworked. Dr. Jeremiah Vaughan was stripped of his medical license in Chicago, and to get away from the situation and his broken engagement, he moved to Alaska to help Dr. Hillerman who had been his mentor and friend since he was a young boy. Gwyn’s life had been hard since her mother left but she had great friends among the Alaskan natives and she felt that Alaska was the most beautiful place that God created.The authors did an excellent job in writing this book. Even though it is a fictional story, they accurately presented actual historical events that took place throughout the book. The development of the characters was so well done that they came to life on the pages of the book and I felt as if I knew everyone of them personally. I even found myself taking part in the conversations in my mind. The plot had a lot of twists and turns and just when I had things all figured out, the plot would change. All the scenes were so well written that in my mind I could see exactly what was happening and was right in the middle of the action. Their descriptions of the mountains and landscapes of Alaska were so vivid that I could see them in my mind’s eye and it also made me want to visit Alaska. The story was filled with love, hate, suspense, murder, friendship, romance, forgiveness, and trust in God. I found this story to be uplifting, entertaining, and informative.I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great story filled with suspense, romance, murder, history and has vivid descriptions of the beauty of Alaska.Bethany House provided me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
