A Deep Divide by Kimberley Woodhouse

 

Set in the early 1900s. Emma Grace is the daughter of an extremely wealthy man, whose ambition for more money took him over. When she was still 17 she ran away from him and being his pawn. She became a Harvey girl, strove to be her best, and was able to transfer to the new restaurant at the Grand Canyon. She was tired of disguises and hiding, hoping she had run far enough away for them to find her. She had learned that her father had been murdered after she left, and she was afraid.

Ray was the son of another extremely wealthy man who was obsessed with getting more. He wasn't like his father, and little by little Emma Grace began to see him as he really was, a man of God and faith, who wanted to help others, and not like other men of their social status.
Kimberly Woodhouse is so good at creating fully real, lovable characters with great depth. Excellent story that I didn't want to put down. Beautiful Christian lessons that give a strong foundation throughout. Interesting information about the Grand Canyon and Hopi Indians from the area. Looking forward to the next in the series!

A Distance Too Grand by Regina Scott

Our national parks began in a time of exploration and wonder . . .
FORT WILVERTON, ARIZONA TERRITORY, 1871

Meg was an excellent photographer, having worked with her father since she was little. Shortly after he died, she was hired by the Army to take pictures for an expedition to map part of the Grand Canyon. Can you imagine? That was still new territory. They wanted to find a way for wagon trains to navigate the area safely. They just weren't too pleased when they learned Meg was a woman. She knew the Captain who was in charge of the project, which didn't make it easier since she had turned down his marriage proposal when they were at West Point. But she had her reasons. Reasons that she went over and over again as they traveled together during this expedition. Beauty, mystery, hidden danger weave through this story, even murder. It was interesting to learn more about Cartography as the story went along too. Beautifully, heartfully told, you'll become Meg's champion too.
