Summary: It is never as easy as it seems.......
Review: It amazes me how Tracie Peterson can take an old story line (twins switching places) put them in an already used setting (Harvey House girls) and create a brand new, wonder what will happen next story! I have enjoyed all of Ms. Peterson's books and this one is no exception. This series is excellent. So often writers of series tend to tell too much of the same stuff in each book or make you wonder what the story has to do with the series at all. All of Tracie's stories are fresh, interesting and will keep you up reading until you finish, then make you wish for the next one right away. Keep up the good work!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Veiled Reflections - Harvey Girls
Review: The Harvey Girl novels by Tracie Peterson are delightful and charming. Tracie has researched the Harvey Girls history and traveled to the places where Harvey Girls worked. ?Tracie's enthusiasm for the Harvey Girls is quite rare and she definitely knits many facets of history in her latest book Veiled Reflections. Tracie also gives a true characterization of the Harvey Girls lives and Christian ethics.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A book to think about...
Review: This book isn't really a sequel to the other 2 books in this series. The main character is not featured in book 2, and the only character from book 2, is Gwen Carson, who had a small part in book 2. That being said, I thought this book was great. Jillian takes over for her twin, Judith, at her job in an Arizona Harvey Restaurant. The novel follows her as she struggles to find her faith, and to reconcile her love and respect for her parents with her growing sense of independence. She also seeks to find her place in the world.

Ms. Peterson is able to bring to live the struggle between the white man and the Indians in the late 1800s. By using Jillian to act as conscience for the community, she allows Jillian to point to people in the community as hypocrites. I saw this role as extremely important in the book. By the time the showdown between the town and Jillian arrives, I was ready for someone to take a stand.

I would heartily recommend this book to anyone. You don't even have to read the other 2 books first.
