Publisher Description
In Dawn's Prelude, CBA best-selling author Tracie Peterson whisks listeners away to 1870s Alaska, for a breathtaking tale of intrigue, romance, and faith. When 28-year-old Lydia Gray inherits her late husband's fortune, she tries to escape unscrupulous family members by seeking refuge with an aunt in Sitka. But as Lydia savors the serenity of her new life-and the unselfish kindness of sawmill owner Kjell Lindquist-an unexpected twist forces her to rethink her future.

"I loved this book, this was a new author, and the first book of three. A story of a young woman who suddenly becomes widowed unexpectedly and the inheritor of both estates of her husband and fathers makes her a target by very greedy family members. This was the first book in a long time that was interesting right from the begining."

" This book was a great find. I really enjoy the Peterson books because she keeps the stories from lagging. Her ability to describe the old West and keep my attention is certainly remarkable. Her books are worth the read, even though they are pricey. "

" The first in a set of 3 books by Tracie Peterson. This is the story of Lydia Gray, who moves to Alaska after the death of her abusive husband. In Alaska, she finds a life of peace and love, until the past comes back to terrify her. An easy, Christian read! :) "
— Jenny, 1/22/2013 -
" Pretty good. Not as romanc-y(for lack of a word) as I thought it would be. A little cheesy of course, but in a good way. "
— Bethany, 6/6/2012 -
" Really liked this book for the most part. I struggled with the ending, however, simply because of the way it seemed to wrap up so quickly. I'm guessing that was to set us up for the next book? "
— Leslie, 6/1/2012 -
" It was ok, but the genre of Christian "inspirational" fiction is tiring and repetitive. "
— Elizabeth, 5/11/2012 -
" I really enjoyed this book. I always like Tracie Peterson's books because I do like the fact that they are based on Christian morals and I did not feel that it was "preachy" at all. I liked the setting, story and the characters. A very good book in my opinion. "
— Karen, 2/22/2012 -

" a bit predictable, but a nice easy relaxing read. "
— Linda, 6/19/2011 -
" Much better than previous Peterson books I've read. It's the story of a young woman, who travels to Alaska to live with her aunt, after her husband and father are killed. There's mystery and intrigue as she continues to fight her greedy step-children and love when she meets a loving, Christian man. "
— Sandy, 4/16/2011 -

" One of the first kindle books I got, I read it in one day - I couldn't put it down! Reading about Lydia's adventures was just amazing! Everything she went through...wow! Yet at the end, after she's given her life to God, she's stronger than ever. Wonderful book! <br/> <br/>A MUST read!! "
