I can't wait to get the second book in this series. Another excellent one by Tracie Peterson.

From the back of the book: After years spent following their father and his wanderlust, the three Gallatin sisters begin to fashion a life for themselves in the Montana wilds, operating a roadhouse at the crossroads of two stage lines. When their father is accidently killed, however, the oldest sister, Gwen, reasons that she is cursed. Death seems to haunt her every step.

As the sisters work to maintain the roadhouse, an unexpected visitor arrives, sending Gwen into turmoil. Is he who he claims to be? And can she dare to hope that love might again be hers?

Absolutely the very best that I have read from Tracie Peterson so far. "A Promise to Believe In" is creative, moving, funny, adventurous, and endearing. I just loved it. It had all of the elements that I have come to love of historical novels from Tracie Peterson.

In many historicals, a reader can find a novel telling the story of three characters, in this case sisters, and then the next two books in the trilogy will continue the story of a different character. This is the first book that I have read that I knew was more about one sister than the others, but it did not feel that way. I got some insight and background on each sister and was feeling for them and loving them all from the beginning in different ways, yet not more than the other. It makes me even more excited for the continuing books that I would have been otherwise.

Gwen Gallatin learns or at least God attempts to put her in positions to learn of his love and grace and this book is a fabulous tool to learn some pure motives to check your own thoughts and opinions of yourself and those around you.

An absolutely pleasure filled read full of the glory and grace of God in the characters and their actions. I can definitely see a continuing story building of how good will triumph in the name of God. Keep the books coming Tracie, I want more!!

The story follow the Gallatin sisters, although it mostly focuses on Gwen.
Gwen feels as though she has been cursed. Every person that she has let herself get close to has died. She's lost her mother, aunt, father and husband. She is determined not to let anyone else get close to her for fear that she will cause their death too!
This story begins immediately following the death of their beloved father. The 3 sisters are left on their own in the wild west to continue running a stage stop. As they struggle to keep their business alive, an unexpected, troublesome visitor show up.
Hank Bishop claims to be searching for something that Gwen's husband left behind. And he plans to stay until he finds it. He is just certain that Gwen and her two sisters, Beth and Lacy are lying and he aims to find out why.
Beth and Lacy don't take too kindly to this nosy stranger butting into their business and decide to take matters into their own hands.
This book has it all. You'll find yourself laughing, crying, and angry as you read through the pages of this story. Very well written and entertaining, I look forward to reading more of the Gallatin County series.
