When tragedy strikes, Britta suddenly finds herself caring for Yuri's children -- and her life intertwining with the man she's tried so hard to forget. But Britta's other great love is for the violin, and her talent is recognized by Brenton Maltese, a conductor from England. The coveted first-chair position in his orchestra could be hers, but what is the cry of her heart? At a crossroads, Britta must determine what her heart truly longs for -- and if she's willing to fight for it. - Back cover.

I love historical fiction from Tracie Peterson and I love her books set in Alaska, but I did not love this book. It was okay. It was the third and final book in the Song of Alaska series, not really a generation later, but almost it continued the story of Britta, the daughter of our protagonist from the first book, [b:Dawn's Prelude 6372454 Dawn's Prelude (Song of Alaska, #1) Tracie Peterson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1439658971l/6372454.SY75.jpg 6560058] and the sister of our main character from the second book in the series, [b:Morning's Refrain 6609588 Morning's Refrain (Song of Alaska, #2) Tracie Peterson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348686038l/6609588.SY75.jpg 6803554], both of which I loved. Even though this was not my favorite read from Tracie, I still will buy just about anything she writes in the historical genre. Britta fell in love with Yuri in the second novel at the age of seven after a terrifying event. In this novel she attempts to be patient and let things go in the timing of God, but I felt that she was very forceful and whiny just about the entire book and she bothered me greatly. Yuri has a painful past that keeps pulling him back from aspiring to be a good Christian man which was real and made for a good plot that anyone can relate to. I just had serious issues with Britta stating that she was timid in a way and then forcing her way upon various people. I'm not sorry I read this one, but I did not like it much. Thanks to Bethany House for providing a copy for review through the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance.
