MY THOUGHTS.....
Knowing You is the third book in the Pictures of the Heart series, and it's a great way to end this series. I've learned so much from reading these books, and this one, which takes place in 1909 during the final days of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, especially enlightened me.
May Parker has experienced prejudice all of her life, but her life is now endangered. Will her recent reunion with a childhood friend offer her protection from the bigotry that targets her Japanese/American heritage?
Racism is a prevalent theme in this intriguing story, but author Tracie Peterson buffers it with a strong message of love and forgiveness. She also offers readers romance, suspense, and a touching reunion with the camera girls from the first two books. They've all experienced trials, but their friendship with each other has helped them endure.
Knowing You is an engaging series conclusion, but it can certainly be enjoyed as a standalone novel. I recommend it to all who enjoy historical Christian fiction.
