Katherine’s Safe Haven by J. L. Stone is a faith-based frontier romance with a bit of a twist. Katherine Sanders is a schoolteacher who moved out west to educate children on the frontier. While teaching and adjusting to frontier life, she met Frank Gundfelt. When she realized her feelings were not returned and that he was seeing someone else, Katherine decided to return home. While making her plans, she learned of a small mining town not far away that needed a schoolteacher. She headed off to Save Haven to seek out the teaching position. Her journey to Safe Haven was frightening and heartbreaking. After setting up in Safe Haven, Katherine meets new people and makes new friends. Michael, the town's pastor, shows an interest in her, as does a local miner named Fred. When the terror of her past becomes part of her present, her world is filled with fear and uncertainty.
J. L. Stone delivers a well-thought-out story with enough twists and turns to keep readers interested. This faith-based love story is filled with truth and insight enough for readers to understand and decide for themselves about their own faith journey. An important piece of information that many books leave out when discussing this topic is repentance. J. L. Stone explains the process beautifully. While Katherine rediscovers her own faith and gains a better understanding of it all, the reader is likewise educated. This is a well-written story that will entertain and inspire. The conclusion is somewhat unexpected, but heartwarming. I recommend Katherine’s Safe Haven without hesitation.
