EVERLASTING by Amanda MacLean

This is book three (and the last one) in this series, and I must say I was impressed with the whole series.  This story is about Callie's good friend, the young Irish lady Sheridan O'Brian.  You will have met her in book 2, so I highly recommend you read these stories in the order in which they were written.  This story will take you to the California gold fields and you will experience the dangers, the greed and the lifestyles of those who only wanted to make it rich.  You will also discover though those whose hearts are good and who delight in doing good.

Sheridan begins her quest to California in search of her twin brother who has gone missing after he supposedly struck gold.  She writes to the editor of the newspaper in town and requests a detective to help her find her brother when she arrives.  Marcus Jade takes on the detective assignment, even though he actually owns the newspaper.  He wants to discover what is going on with the miners who are suddenly disappearing.  It will be an exciting and perilous journey and these two will eventually find themselves taking on two orphans to watch over.  Sheridan will have to learn to guard her tongue and her temper and Marcus will learn how to show himself faithful and trustworthy.  Together, with the help of the Lord, they will discover a love that is "Everlasting".
