Beneath the Oregon Pines
When the wilderness threatens to destroy, it takes faith to build something that will last…
In the rugged logging camps of 1880s Oregon Territory, schoolteacher Rose Bellamy arrives at Trinity Station with little more than her books, medical knowledge, and unwavering faith. What she doesn't expect is Boone McAlister, the grief-hardened camp foreman who believes education is a luxury the frontier can't afford.
Still mourning his wife's tragic death, Boone sees only impracticality in Rose's vision for a proper school. Where she envisions futures shaped by knowledge, he focuses on the harsh realities of survival. Yet as Rose proves her worth through unexpected medical skills and genuine care for the community, the walls around Boone's heart begin to crumble.
When a devastating fire threatens to destroy everything they've built, Rose and Boone must work together to save lives and rebuild. Through crisis and healing, opposition and understanding, they discover that true strength comes from vulnerability, and sometimes the most perfectly matched hearts are opposites in everything but faith.
Trinity Station weaves together beloved tropes of opposites attract, enemies-to-lovers, and redemption in a faith-filled frontier romance. As Rose and Boone navigate their growing feelings, they learn that honoring the past doesn't mean sacrificing the future, and that strangers in a strange land can find home in each other's hearts.
This emotional journey celebrates how love and faith can transform the harshest wilderness into holy ground where new beginnings take root.

This book absolutely filled my heart in the best way possible. I feel like a lot of Christian fiction doesn't always incorporate as much active and visible faith in God the way I want it to, and it's not every day I come across a romance novel so beautifully grounded in faith — and this one truly shined in all of those ways.
Rose’s constant turning to the Lord for guidance, grace, and gratitude had me tearing up more than once. Every time she prayed through her struggles or thanked Him for her blessings, I felt it deep in my soul. Her obedience, her heart for teaching, her quiet strength.. it all reminded me what it means to walk in faith and trust that God’s plans are always better than our own.
And Boone!! Watching his journey unfold was so moving. The way grief had hardened him after losing his wife, and yet, through Rose’s steadfast faith and love, he found his way back to the Lord… it was beautiful. His transformation wasn’t rushed either. It was raw, tender, and rooted in real healing.
This story is such a gorgeous testament to what happens when we obey God’s call, even when we don’t fully understand it. Rose followed where He led, and in doing so, found more than she ever could have imagined. It’s such a wonderful reminder that obedience gives the Lord room to bless us beyond what we ask for.
Honestly, this book made me laugh, cry, and praise all at once. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, it being a historical romance, but it was WONDERFUL.

an Historical Romance
What a sweet story. Clean and full of wisdom and growth both in the logging community and as individuals. The story reminds you of the difference one person can make. It is inspiring. And, of course a sweet happily-ever-after ending is the icing on the cake.

Wonderful story!
This was a very good book. I was involved in the building of the town and especially the main characters. I liked all the character's personalities. It was very well written. I would like to have a sequel to see how the town has grown and about the many children that the McAlisters had!

Take your breath away
First story I've read in awhile about pioneers after their journey building a future. This raw harsh life had its growing pains and struggles. This story was a beautiful rendition of those times.

This was a good read. I did feel Mary played an excessive role in the story. I ended up feeling there were now three in this marriage. I would of like the focus less on deceased Mary and more on the two life main characters.
