    A wonderful story of love winning out over traditions. The characters are strong, independent, and have a plan of their own. God has other plans, and He wins out. Lots of surprises, some heavy times, some light and fun times. Lots of smiles. I love Kim Sawyer's books. Each is always uniquely different from the others and her grammar impeccable, which I cannot say for most of the writers these days. I had a hard time putting it down, and was so sad to have it come to an end. I felt emotionally attached to the characters and wanted more... But that is the way with Kim's books. A strong Christian message, romance, and the unique Indian flavor made it a great book in my estimation. A great story for female or male and teens. This one will remain in my library!

    I loved this book by Kim Sawyer! Although not a typical prairie romance, it was definitely a romance! Just one set in Alaska at a mission post for the Athabascan Indian tribe. I fell in love with both the unique main characters from the start.

    Lizzie Dawson is a very independent young woman who has lived on her own for years. Not a part of the tribe of her dead Indian mother or the white father who left them years ago, she has made her own way, using the skills of the Athabascans to survive.

    Clay Selby has left the lower states to become a missionary like his own father. When he encounters the beautiful blue-eyed Indian girl, he wonders at her story. What he learns stuns him and leaves him in a quandry. Must he choose between befriending her or the people he came to minister to?

    Lizzie is also attracted to Clay, but refuses to allow herself this weakness. Until the day she shoots him! How can God work good out of this accident? Read the book and find out, and give yourself a great read in the Yukon of Alaska in the late 1890s.

    How true to life is the work of the Missionary in the story A whisper of Peace.

    To travel so far to reach a people for God, surely He will understand if we have to sacrifice the good of one person. What is one against the chance to win so many? For Him? And yet . . . when it comes right down to it . . . God will show us the worth of one sole is more than the whole earth. Every time.

    In A Whisper of Peace, we are swept away to beautiful 1800s Alaska, "The Land of the Midnight Sun", a primitive land with it's lovely snow-capped mountains, lush forests, and salmon filled rivers; yet fraught with danger, uncivilized Indians, prejudice, and unforgiveness.

    Our beautiful heroine, Lizzie, has been ostracized by her tribe, the Athabascans, because of her white father, and it is her dying mother's request for her to make peace with her Indian grandparents. Lizzie, also known as White Feather, has but one desire...to fulfill her mother's request, and leave her lonely little cabin in the wilderness and be reunited with her white father in California. She has no one for company except her dogs, until one day she meets Clay Selby and his sister, Vivian.

    Clay is driven to build a mission and bring salvation to the natives in the very village Lizzie has been ostracized by; following in his father's footsteps. Vivian desires to accompany him in his ministry, hoping that by doing something good for others, it will erase the deep burden of guilt she still carries from her past. In exchange for Lizzie's help in culinary skills, Vivian seeks to help Lizzie learn how to become like the white woman, in order that she will be accepted in her father's world.

    Clay is met by much opposition in the village, but is allowed to stay on the condition that he and Vivian separate company with Lizzie. Will they be able to do so, and will the stubborn Athabascans ever accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, or will Clay's endeavors be fruitless? Will Vivian ever find the peace she so deeply craves and be able to forgive herself? And will Lizzie ever be accepted by her grandparents, and finally find a place to belong with them AND her father? And what of her growing attraction to Clay?

    Kim Vogel Sawyer's versatility as an author truly shines in this heartwarming novel! There is just not anything she seemingly can't write about, and her research into the history of Alaska, and its customs and people is remarkable; and truly captures the reader's interest as not many novels are set in that beautiful land. Her characters were realistic, and though strong, they lacked confidence as well because of their upbringings. Her secondary characters were endearing, and there was a very strong spiritual thread throughout. A true story of love and forgiveness not to be missed!

    A Whisper of Peace

    By Kim Vogel Sawyer

    My stack of books sat there to be read. I had chosen "A Whisper of Peace" by Kim Vogel Sawyer to be reviewed for very special reasons, but the book sat amongst the stacks of review books for quite a long time. Then the day came that I picked up, "A Whisper of Peace" and began reading from cover to cover, all 349 pages of it, and I asked myself why had I waited so long?

    Clay Selby and his sister Vivian travel to Alaska as missionaries to set up a church and school among the Athabascan Indians during the gold rush. Both Clay and his sister Vivian befriend a young woman, Lizzie who has been ostracized by her tribe for having a white father.

    Key points about the book are forgiveness and salvation; both are very well written into the story.

    I had specifically requested to read "A Whisper of Peace" by Kim Vogel because I lived in Alaska when I was a child for several years. I also spent time with many missionaries while in Alaska as a child as well as with the Native Americans.

    The only place that was recognizable in the book was Mt Denali which we called Mt. McKinley when I was a child. I really have no complaints about the book, except for more "real" Alaska. Anyone who has ever lived in Alaska, knows that its beauty is beyond all description.

    Overall, this book is 5 out of 5 stars. It may be a little wordy near the end, but it is well worth reading. It is appropriate for high school girls through adults.

    I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers.
