Right from the beginning both Keturah and Daniel are alone and had been in families that had abusive people. They both need to be loved. They are opposites in many ways but each works hard to achieve their goals. There is a lot they have to learn to get to the lives they need, but they stick with it. Nice read, seems to go fast.

Book: Reverence in the Wilderness
Author: Andrea Byrd
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Release Date: March 5, 2024
She’s desperate to save the homestead she’s poured her life into…but is a marriage of convenience with him the answer?
Alone in the Kentucky wilderness, Keturah Elliot finds herself bereft of family and facing the looming threat of losing all she has left. After toiling alongside her demeaning father for two years, she cannot bear losing the homestead they built with their own hands. Keturah has no choice but to trust the Lord’s urging—she must marry to protect all she holds dear. But when a candidate presents himself in the form of a wealthy dandy from back East, can she find enough redeeming qualities to accept him?
Haunted by his mother’s death and a lifetime of failure and isolation, Daniel Scott sees little hope of a better situation when he’s sent to a remote Kentucky station. But when he meets a captivating Scottish woman in need of a husband such as he, he’s determined to break the cycle and prove himself once and for all.
Brought together by circumstances beyond their control, can these two opposites overcome their challenges to build the future they both crave?

More from Andrea
In many ways, Reverence in the Wilderness is deeply personal for me.
To read about Daniel Scott is to receive a glimpse at my own husband. Dark hair and a golden-brown gaze…and my complete opposite in nearly every way. He is also talkative, entertaining, and gentlemanly. He definitely shares Daniel’s fun-loving and caring nature. Just as God blessed Keturah with Daniel, God blessed me with a man who perfectly complements me while keeping life interesting.
And, not to provide spoilers, but the miscarriage was drawn from one of my own experiences. During my most recent pregnancy, I experienced a threatened miscarriage. I just knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had lost my baby, and in that moment, I glimpsed the hopelessness one would face during a miscarriage. Thanks to the prayers of others and the good Lord above, I was blessed with a healthy pregnancy from then on out and now have a beautiful, healthy baby boy. However, there are so many women who must face that grief and loss in full force. And for always, my heart will break for them. As soon as I returned home from the hospital that night, I knew I had to represent their plight within these pages.
This book is dedicated to every woman who has ever experienced a miscarriage or threatened miscarriage.
