In the Heart of Paradise by Jamie McGillen
5.0
Jamie McGillen does it again! In the Heart of Paradise transports readers back to the shadow of Mount Rainer and once again I am in awe of her majesty, both mountain and author.
In this third installment of The Rainier Series, we revisit Anna, she’s discovered she is pregnant and is apprehensive about the timing, and her overall well-being.
Anna’s new friend, Elizabeth, has her own goals, but her acute overwhelming anxiety threatens her dreams of a productive, happy future.
This page-turning, heart-felt historical fiction set on the backdrop of Mount Rainer explores themes of motherhood and mental health in the early nineteenth century. This well-researched narrative that features determined female protagonists explores topics that are very much relevant today. It’s a novel that will fill your heart with hope and make you yearn to explore the outdoors.
This book is perfect for readers who enjoy:
•feel-good historical fiction with themes that are relevant today
•beautifully depicted scenes set in nature that will inspire you to play more outdoors
•quick paced adventure with twists that will leave you breathless
Reading this felt like coming home, perfectly paired with a cinnamon stick in your coffee and a plate of warm chocolate crinkles. If you are new to this series be sure to check out with In Sight of the Mountain, the first book in the Rainier series. Each book continues from the next, and I’m happy to report that In The Heart of Paradise is my favorite.
