Out of the Ruins | The Golden Gate Chronicles, Book 1
Abby’s shattered faith in both God and man is challenged when the terrible earthquake hits 1906 San Francisco.
While her sister lies on her deathbed, Abby Fischer prays for a miracle. What Abby doesn’t expect, however, is for God’s answer to come in the form of the handsome Dr. Robert King, whose experimental treatment is risky at best.
As they work together toward a cure, Abby’s feelings for Robert become hopelessly entangled. Separated by the tragedy of the mighty San Francisco earthquake, their relationship suddenly takes a back seat to survival. With fires raging throughout the city, Abby fears for her life as she flees alone through burning streets. Where is God now? Will Robert find Abby, even as the world burns around them? Or has their love fallen with the ruins of the city?
Learn more and purchase a copy at Karen’s website.

My Review:
 This book was very interesting because it took place during a certain part of San Francisco's history. To not only lose a loved one, and to have a devastating earthquake is bad enough, but to lose your faith is worse. I also enjoyed the new treatments and how new medicine was being introduced into the world. History and romance are both in this book, with a healthy dose of faith. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
