Remembered (Fountain Creek Chronicles Series #3)

by Tamera Alexander

Overview

The threat of war—and a final request—send Véronique Girard from France to a distant and uninviting country. In the Colorado Territory, she searches for the man who has held her heart since childhood—her father. Pierre Girard left Paris for the Americas to seek his fortune in fur trading, vowing to send for his wife and daughter. But twenty-five years have passed and his vow remains unfulfilled. Sifting through shards of broken promises, Véronique embarks on a dangerous search for a man she scarcely remembers. His grief finally healed, Jack Brennan is moving on with life. After years of guiding families west, he is now working as a freighter to the mining towns surrounding Willow Springs. What he doesn't count on is an unexpected traveling companion on his trips up into the mountains, and how one woman's search will cause havoc with his plans . . . and his life.

What People are Saying About This

Amanda Schafer

"Remembered is an absolutely wonderful continuation of the Fountain Creek Chronicles."--(Amanda Schafer, armchairinterviews.com)

Roseanna White

"Anyone's who's read the other Fountain Creek books won't want to miss this one, but it easily stands alone. The characters will take you by the hand and lead you heart-first into their stories, and by the time they release you at the end, you'll feel as though you've taken up residence just across the Creek from them, as surely as they have in your heart."--(Roseanna White, christianreviewofbooks.com)

Lindsey Freitas

"Remembered, the third book in the Fountain Creek Chronicles, takes us back to Willow Creek and revisits beloved characters from the previous two books in the series, Rekindled and Revealed. Tamera Alexander has the remarkable ability to create places, and characters who endear themselves to us, even those just briefly mentioned. If I had lived in the late 1800s, I would love to have met these people and would surely have been inspired by the way they lived out their faith.
Remembered is a delightful read, well-researched and well-written. I expect to see great things from this author in the future."--(Lindsey Freitas, bookloons.com)

Editorial Reviews

This third title in Alexander's "Fountain Creek Chronicles" continues the story of the various inhabitants of this Reconstruction-era Western town that was begun in Revealedand Rekindled. Unwillingly, Véronique Girard has traveled from Paris, France, to Fountain Creek to keep the deathbed promise she made to her mother to find her father, who left the family 25 years ago, when Véronique was only four. Though she and her mother were servants in the employ of a noble family in Paris, Véronique feels that she and her culture are superior to the uncouth Westerners. Jack Brennan, whom we met briefly in Revealed, has recently retired from 15 years of leading wagon trains across the prairie. He is definitely unmpressed when he meets Véronique but is forced to drive her to various mining camps around the area to search for her father. He considers her a spoiled rich girl; she thinks he is much too familiar with his employer. It is great fun watching the reluctant romance and grudging respect grow between these two very different people. Alexander shows Véronique's gradual growth as a person and a Christian with a great deal of humor and understanding. However, the high point is the narration by Barbara McCulloh; conversations between Jack and Véronique are marvelous examples of her versatility as she switches seamlessly from French accent to Western drawl. An excellent interpretation; this program is recommended for fiction collections in public and church libraries.
