A Deep Divide by Kimberley Woodhouse
Heiress Emma Grace McMurray has seen greed and some unsavory things related to wealth. She becomes very upset when she finds out that her father has offered her up as a bargaining chip for his expanding wealth. As a result, shortly before she turns 18, she decides she has had enough of it all and runs away. She dons a disguise and becomes a Harvey Girl. A Deep Divide by Kimberley Woodhouse is the first book in her new Secrets of the Canyon series.
Emma Grace has been working as a Harvey Girl for five years when she starts working at the El Tovar Hotel by the Grand Canyon. She loves the beauty of her surroundings and she meets people she truly becomes friend with and a man she is attracted to named Ray. I enjoyed Ray and Emma Grace's developing relationship. I thought he seemed real and charming, especially in how awkward he was in talking to her at first. I also enjoyed her friendships with the staff. This book is a clearly a Christian book with the Christian characters sharing their faith and showing love and hospitality to their new co-worker. I especially liked how faith was modeled in this book. Their faith felt like it fit right in with the people without being stilted. I also enjoyed the description of this beautiful area, the food and the hotel, and the Hopi Indians who lived nearby. I thought the book was well-paced. It has romance and some mystery. I also love this beautiful cover for A Deep Divide.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.
