What Time Is Given: A Christian Historical Western Frontier Novel Set in a Pacific Northwest Washington Coal Mining Small Town with Friends-to-More Romance (Brides of the Cascades)

With the threat of disaster never far away, only love and faith can carry them through. For Elena Petrich, life in a Washington coal mining town means living every day on the brink of tragedy. She has grown up knowing that danger is never far from the men who descend into the earth each morning, yet the love of her family offers a shelter from the shadows of uncertainty. Nick Fremont struggles with his family's judgmental attitude and finding his own purpose in life. Cold and rigid in their faith, his family left him more hollow than hopeful, but the Petrichs have become his anchor. And while his relationship with Elena has evolved into something more than friendship, his anger at God means they could never be anything more. A group of thugs threatens the well-being of the Petrichs and their neighbors, and Elena and her family fear how far the criminals will go in their attacks.
