About Book
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?

My Thoughts
Abby has lost faith in God since a disease quickly consumes her sister. Her dying sister begs Abby to pray for a miracle. To Abby's amazement it appears God is going to answer her prayer. There is new research in the field of this disease being assigned to a handsome doctor, Dr. Robert King. The problem is that her sister may not fit the requirements for this experimental program and moving her to San Francisco could be make things even worse.
When her sister is approve for the treatment program she is moved to San Francisco. Things become even more complicated when a devastating earthquake hits San Francisco shutting the city down and throwing everyone into turmoil.
I noticed how Abby was so overwhelmed when she heard about a possible cure for her sister and was determined to charge full steam ahead not listening or considering the downside of the the treatment and the move. Love sometimes blinds and causes people to make rash decisions. This story was fast read for me since I did not want to put the book down. I very much liked the historical side of the medical research and then the historical facts of the earthquake.
I highly recommend this book.
I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from Litfuse Publicty Group/ Abingdon Press for an honest review.
