Raining Fire

by Lynn A. Coleman

Friends and servants had warned Pam that the omens were against her family leaving Virginia to cross the Cumberland Gap--but the Danners went ahead with their plans. Now her parents and her only brother are dead, and Pam is stranded on the Wilderness Road with only a man dressed in animal skins to protect her.

Terrified that Mac, as he identifies himself, might mistreat her, Pam lets him believe that she is recently widowed in hopes that he will treat her with greater respect. But Mac is not her only concern. Accidental shootings, attacks by bandits, and treacherous weather conditions all conspire to make Pam fear the power of nature and omens even more.

How can Pam release her fears and learn to trust God completely? And will the strange new attraction she feels toward Mac lead her to a place of love--or will a mysterious tragedy from his past destroy the only friendship she has left?

3.25 stars. I really liked the story, but the miscommunication was too much until nearly the end. I enjoyed the setting and the characters and learning a bit about the meteor shower that happened in 1833 and looked like it was raining fire.

I liked how Psalm 23 was used throughout the story. It was interesting to see how Pamela believed in superstition until she let all that go and put her trust in God.

It's a good story and well-written, but the miscommunication made me give it 3 stars instead of 4. Recommend it for a quick historical fiction read.
