Courtship is the last thing on Sara Jane's mind when a health crisis and a nationwide financial panic leaves her to manage the paper's upkeep amid dwindling subscribers and supply shortages.

After greatly enjoying the first book in this series, “The Uncertainty of Fire”, I’ve been eager to read the next book in the series—even if it was featuring a side character that stressed me out. That man was still called an idiot at least twelve times by me while reading this sequel, but the last one was with fondness at the end. I’ll admit that I wasn’t sure about him for the majority of this book, but that last 25% really sold me on his change, Sara Jane’s faith realization, and definitely ramped up my reading speed to—hopefully—see everything work for these characters. I finished the book with a smile on my face, if that gives you any indication.
I’ve been vocal before that I don’t personally like it when a main character or love interest drinks—whatever genre, whether Christian or Clean fiction. That said, the love interest does drink in this book and gets drunk (with mentions of this happening in the past as well). I think it ought to be noted that we never get his perspective at all in this book, which did make a difference for me in this element. It’s still harming his liver, don’t get me wrong, but it was part of his story—his “pruning” moments—that eventually leads to better decisions being made. Eventually. Like I said, it took a while to get there, but I was very happy to see his change.
As for our main character, I really liked Sara Jane. I think it is so easy for a character like her to come across as “feminist” or a “woman before her time” in a historical setting, but I don’t feel like she was either of those. She had a passion for the newspaper and a strong love for her father that implored her to act in ways that may not have been common for young women like her in that time period, but she wasn’t doing it because she thought she could do better or be better than any man. She had a passion for it that showed more than anything, in my opinion. She was stubborn and headstrong, for sure, but not to a completely detrimental amount—just something that can be a flaw if used incorrectly, but also can be a strength when it matters. She’s learning that and overall, I really liked her as our main character.
Sara Jane has a lot of hurt because of her mother’s choices and that’s kept her from wanting to ever marry because of believing that all love ends in disappointment. And honestly, I can’t blame her for coming to that thought based on her parents’ relationship. There’s a special moment towards the end of the book where Sara Jane has beautiful character development in this regard that nearly made me tear up because of the faith content involved. The faith content throughout this book felt very natural and I really enjoyed seeing it weaved in at different parts.
I don’t think I could pick a favorite between this book or the first one as they both had elements to their stories that I greatly liked and also parts that made me a bit stressed while reading. One thing that stood out to me with both novels, however, is the strong faith content discussed and shown throughout the plots which made the stories have the important of following Jesus Christ, which I love to see in a YA book especially.

4.5 stars ⭐️
I loved this book so much! Keller is pretty much my favorite character from both books, and after book one ended with his poor heart broken, I was so happy to learn that he was gonna get a second chance in book two. Stephanie Daniels did not let me down!
I really liked how the book centered around the newspaper. I think it made for a more interesting story (and I cried inside when I learned that one column used to take 8 hours of setting type lol 😭). I was very impressed by all the newspaper terms and everything, since I can imagine how much research it took to learn all about that. The setting also provided a lot of historic facts.
Sara Jane is a great FMC. She is feisty but not a complete and obnoxious girl boss, which is refreshing (since those are everywhere in stories these days lol). She did get a little dramatic for me at times, but I really liked her. I feel like it was even more fun to read about Sara Jane's personality after Whimsy in book one, who was a bit more subtle and sweet-natured (still love her of course, they're just different, which is great).
Keller. Is. My. Favorite. Ever. Ayyyy, he's the best. I LOVE how protective he is of Sara Jane and how their feelings for each other are slow but adorable. His personality is boyish at the perfect times. He's so funny and sweet and his nickname for Sara made for the best conversations. He was gone for like 50 pages near the end of the book and I literally didn't read for a couple days cuz I was so sad he wasn't in it lol.
The romance was the greatest. There were several parts where I just squealed or giggled because they're so cute together. But also, the tension with Marietta added to the mix was killing me.
The faith aspect was incredible, of course. Always appreciate that and I especially loved watching Sara and Keller grow into trusting God.
The plot/mystery was a little confusing for me throughout the whole book and I had a bit of a hard time following, but most of my questions were answered at the end.
Favorite quotes:
His infuriating grin needs squashing or that boyish charm will be my undoing. Mine too, Sara Jane, mine too.
"You're really impossible, you know?"
"Oh yes. I know." His laughter rumbles. "Impossibly charming. Impossibly handsome. Impossibly irresistible."
"You've got more of the Bible to read, because 'God resisteth the proud.'"
He winks. "Gotta give him something to work on."
This was my first ever BETA read. Thank you so much, Mrs. Daniels!!!

I recommend the first book in the series all the time and loved getting lost in the author's immersive writing again with Sara Jane's story. There's so much underneath what makes Sara Jane, and she tries so desperately to prove herself through challenging circumstances. Keller was his fantastic self. There's a lot of action, faith, and even a budding romance, making for a well-rounded story and compelling plot! Do yourself a favor and grab your copy! I can't wait to reread it.

I became a Keller fan the moment he stepped through the smoke and confusion and helped Whimsy in The Uncertainty of Fire, so needless to say I was more than ready to read his story. An Unconfirmed Report did not disappoint!
Daniels does a great job bringing out a well-researched historical setting, especially with the additional info on a newspaper office in the 1800s.
If you're looking for inspiring historical romance, look no further!

Sarah Jane is spunky and relatable, and I adored her from the first moment I met her on the page. She’s smart, ambitious, and has a dream, one I wanted her to succeed at. The romance is well done, and I laughed out loud more than once at the banter. As with all good romances, there’s a little bit of uncertainty surrounding the relationship.
The interplay between Sarah Jane and her father is heartwarming, and the complicated relationship she has with her mother was heartbreaking. I do like books with a complicated family dynamic.
In this second installment of the series, mystery has been added into the mix, making for an intriguing (and sometimes stressful!) storyline. As always, the history in Stephanie Daniels’ books is well researched and meticulously presented.
Historical fiction for teens and adults.
