Wind Against the Stone

by Katherine Myers

[Emily looked up into his face, drawn to everything she saw there. She still wondered what was deep inside him, and what silences he held. Lifting her hand, she ran her fingers across the new stubble on his jaw, then her thumb slowly stroked the short whiskers. "I would never hurt you, Joseph." He met her gaze, once again catching a glimpse of the familiar part of her he now seemed to knowl He wanted to believe her, to let the kindness he saw in her wash away the wound in his heart. Her face was turned up to his, trusting, and Joseph lowered his head to kiss her. "Ain't that sweet!" a hoarse voice growled. The voice jolted them, and the two pulled back. A scream escaped Emily, her hand going to her mouth in terror.] Meeting the silent and mysterious photographer, Joseph Sorenson, adds another exciting puzzle to Emily's life. Getting to work on the stage with a real theatre troupe tests her dreams and she finds that they can come true. But can she pass the more serious tests of life? Emily must learn to face the reality of personal handicaps and trust in her faith of Heavenly Father. If she can do this, can she find her greatest dream? Can she find eternal love?

This is actually the second book in a two part series.This story is about the Phillips family after the pioneers have made it to the Utah valley. This book talks about Emily Phillips an actress who was introduced as a very young child in the first book, Joy in the morning. We read about her heartache when she loses her brother as well as love when Joseph a photographer Comes into her life. I Liked the story. I first read it as a teenager and reread the 2 books again a while ago.

This book was a sequal to Jopy in the morning. I loved it. Good romance, a little bit of thrill and I deffinately shed some tears. I would add it to my library.
