Review: Through Rushing Water - Catherine Richmond




Review: Through Rushing Water - Catherine Richmond - July 2012

Set in 1876 , Through Rushing Water is a Historical Christian novel and tells the story of the quote "when one door closes, another one will open". 
Sophia has been working as a teacher and courting the upcoming Senator and believes that he will propose to her and she will become the new Mrs. Montgomery and be the Lady of the House. All this comes crashing down around her as he proposes to her friend Annabelle instead. Heartbroken , Sophia attends a lecture on missionary work in China and helping save the Christians who are at this stage getting persecuted for their beliefs. What scares me though as I was reading this was that in some parts of the world in the year 2013 the persecution of Christians is still happening.  Sophia believing she is to be sent to China hops aboard the missionary team only to eventually discover she is being sent a little bit closer to home to the Pocona territory - American Indian central where stories of brutality from the indians has been spreading like wildfire. As the story moves on Sophia comes to realise , all is not what it seems and soon her heart falls for the community and she begins to find herself at home and even with a love interest or two heading her way.  When tragedy strikes , will Sophia be able to put her beliefs in God completely as she comes to realise that the only way to fulfill the plan that God has created for her is to ignore everything around her and focus on his ways as when the time is correct , he will provide everything her heart desires.
Through Rushing Water is a nice read for those who love Historical Christian Fiction and Missionary Work around the Wild Wild West territories.
