Through Rushing Water by Catherine Richmond

Don't you just love the cover! Through Rushing Water is one of the best books I've read in a while. This is the first of Catherine Richmond's books that I've read and I was impressed with her writing skills. As a reader I was pulled right into the story and enjoyed every word. The characters growth throughout the story is believable and commendable. The love story is sweet and touching.

Book Description

Sophia has her life all planned out—but her plan didn’t include being jilted or ending up in Dakota Territory.
Sophia Makinoff is certain that 1876 is the year that she’ll become the wife of a certain US Congressman, and happily plans her debut into the Capitol city. But when he proposes to her roommate instead, Sophia is stunned. Hoping to flee her heartache and humiliation, she signs up with the Board of Foreign Missions on a whim.
With dreams of a romantic posting to the Far East, Sophia is dismayed to find she’s being sent to the Ponca Indian Agency in the bleak Dakota Territory. She can’t even run away effectively and begins to wonder how on earth she’ll be able to guide others as a missionary. But teaching the Ponca children provides her with a joy she has never known—and never expected—and ignites in her a passion for the people she’s sent to serve.
It’s a passion shared by the Agency carpenter, Willoughby Dunn, a man whose integrity and selflessness are unmatched. The Poncas are barely surviving. When U.S. policy decrees that they be uprooted from their land and marched hundreds of miles away in the middle of winter, Sophia and Will wade into rushing waters to fight for their friends, their love, and their destiny.

  1. The F-You replica watches watch, in general, serves a very specific value for wealthy watch enthusiasts. F-You watches are replica watches uk always expensive but are meant to look as though they aren’t nearly as expensive as they fake rolex are. Not that F-You watches look cheap, rather, they are designed to not look very expensive when viewed from afar. The replica rolex perfect F-You watch looks ordinary or unremarkable (perhaps generic) to fake watches an ordinary onlooker, but can quickly be identified as rolex replica being expensive to the trained eye (i.e., someone so trained in watch prices they would know fake rolex uk its value and also be cognizant that other non-watch enthusiasts might likely mistake fake watches uk its value).
