The Amazon Quest

The House of Winslow #25

by Gilbert Morris

The Perils of the Amazon Reveal the Depths of the Heart's Entanglements... Emily Winslow meets James Parker, the man who tried to save her brother's life in the trenches of France in World War I, and she and her family feel deeply indebted to him. They offer to help him in any way they can to get a new start after recovering from his own wounds. By the time the family is confronted with the surprising truth of what actually happened on that distant battlefield, Emily has fallen in love with James. Overwhelmed by bitterness and the betrayal of her love, Emily throws herself into her writing career. When an opportunity comes to travel deep into the Amazon rain forest and record the life of an isolated tribe of headhunters, she readily accepts the challenge. But all of her inner turmoil returns with a vengeance when Ian Marlowe walks into her life. Is Emily’s faith strong enough to sustain her? Can she trust her heart this time around?

Emily and Wes Winslow go to the Amazon, where they are asked by National Geographic to write and photograph a tribe there. They meet someone Emily needs to forgive, (James/Ian), and some missionaries and the tribe provide experiences.

Set in the Amazon basin - with lots of deception and mixed up feelings - great book!

This is another good book in the Winslow family saga from Gilbert Morris. In this book Emily Winslow loses a brother during World War I. After the War James Parker, the man who supposedly saved her brother's life during the war comes to visit the Winslow family. They take him in and Emily falls in love with him, later on they find out the truth about James Parker. Emily feels betrayed and that she can't forgive him for what he had done to her and to her family. Years later she has the chance to go into the Amazon with her other brother, Wes writing an article about a primitative tribe in the Amazon. She meets Ian Marlowe and the surprise about his true identity comes out. She learns how to forgive James Parker for the wrongs that he had committed against her and her family.

8 - Emily has such a good relationship with her brother and it is sad when he dies in the war. But having James come was like a fairy tale come true - falling in love with him. The betrayal was unbelievable. So I wondered how they were going to write the story where he comes back into the picture and Emily forgives him and falls in love again, or still with James. Then you meet Ian Marlowe and the escapades in the jungle are fun to read about and the story has a happy ending. Good Christian theme throughout - forgiveness always hurts you more than the person you need to forgive if you can't let go and forgive.

I was really hoping that they would met up one day and get things settled between the two of them but was not expecting them to meet up in the jungle! Not to tell the whole story the characters come alive for you,will never regret reading the series! On to the next book!!🐺🐺

It seemed like lovely weather for a light romantic fiction and this one, with its sassy redheaded heroine (<3!), early twentieth century setting (<3!) and setting of the Amazon (<3!) seemed like a perfect fit.

I couldn't get past the first page. The writing is terrible! Again, this is why I don't read Christian fiction anymore....

This series by Gilbert Morris is one of my absolute favorites. Each book follows at least one member of a generation in the Winslow family tree and the member(s) gets saved and finds true love. There's also some commentary on the social conditions of the time frame. Truly interesting.
