In the bustling world of paleontology in 1916, Eliza Mills defies societal expectations to pursue her passion. Having published her early groundbreaking papers anonymously, she has finally earned her place at the Carnegie Museum and seizes the opportunity to work at Dinosaur National Monument with a renowned paleontologist. But things in Jensen, Utah, aren't what they appear. When Eliza gets the chance to dig up bones at a ranch with a dark history, it sparks a chain of events that will rock the very fabric of her carefully constructed world.
Devin Schmitt, Eliza's closest friend since childhood, harbors unspoken feelings for her but knows he will never be able to win her heart. Just as he vows to give her up for good, Eliza begs him to visit her in Utah for another grand adventure. He reluctantly agrees, and within a few days of his arrival, he and Eliza find themselves entangled in a web of danger where the stakes are much higher than they ever anticipated. In a race against time, Devin and Eliza must hold on to God as their hope as they navigate a treacherous terrain of betrayal to unbury the truth and save Eliza from those who wish to see her fail.
Bestselling author Kimberley Woodhouse sweeps you away on a breathtaking journey through the perilous landscapes of the Bone Wars era, where love and ambition collide.

MY THOUGHTS.....
Treasures of the Earth has been a wonderful series! I've loved the different women paleontologists who wouldn't take no for an answer, along with the people who've supported them, but the two main characters in this book are special indeed! There may be a happy ending in A Hope Unburied, but it wasn't going to be easy! Oh, Devin Schmidt always knew that he loved Eliza Mills, but he'd promised her grandfather that he wouldn't pursue a relationship with her. He was truly a man of his word, but even an honorable man has his limits and that is when this story became so poignant!
I loved Eliza and Devin! She was determined to fulfill her dreams but paleontology in 1916 was truly a cutthroat occupation, and women paleontologists were unacceptable! Deception, danger, and even death were some of the plot twists in A Hope Unburied but there was also extreme devotion and powerful faith. And, oh my, the sweet romance shouldn't be ignored. I was captivated by Eliza and Devin!
I've said this before but author Kimberley Woodhouse excels in combining facts and fiction! A Hope Unburied is historical fiction and it's apparent that she was deeply involved in her research for this book and series. I learned so much about Earl Douglass, the Bone Wars, and the Dinosaur National Monument, and I enjoyed that Andrew Carnegie was a key character in Devin's efforts to help Eliza! This story was the perfect conclusion to the Treasures of the Earth series, and I recommend it to all who enjoy historical Christian romance.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
