A Constant Love is a book near and dear to my heart. The book deals with tragedy and loss that came about during and after the Great Die-Up—a hideous winter of blizzards and desperately cold temperatures that affected the prairie states and up into the Rockies. Many of the ranchers in the areas were completely wiped out and gave up their ranches when their cattle died off in record numbers.
Ranchers and farmers had dealt with the elements turning against them prior to this, but the winter of 1886–1887 was different. The summer of 1886 had brought about record droughts, and many of the crops had failed. The livestock suffered as the grass died off and feed wasn’t readily available. By November, early and heavy snows started and continued. Temperatures dropped to record lows. In eastern Montana the temperatures were said to drop to negative 63 degrees Fahrenheit.
In January, a Chinook wind warmed things considerably, melting a lot of the snow. This just made things worse, however, because when the plunging sub-zero temperatures returned, the water froze a thick layer on top of what little grass the animals had been able to dig down to eat. Mass starvation followed, and thousands upon thousands of animals were lost. In reading about the era and all that happened, I came across comments from people that showed the great despair that flooded the states involved. The hopelessness of it all was overwhelming.
During the same time I was researching and mapping out this book, a beloved family member committed suicide. The devastation we felt was overwhelming, and it all seemed to come together with what I had been reading. I felt that deep sadness and despair. I read that some people had taken their lives after that winter. People were at a loss as to what to do, and in that day and age, the church was not always very kind to the families of those who killed themselves. As I prayed about the book I planned to write, I felt compelled to write about suicide and the ripple effect it has on family, friends, and even total strangers. I wanted to share the hope that I found in God’s Word, and A Constant Love was born.
There are times in our lives when we are overwhelmed to the point of despair, when giving up seems far easier than going on. I pray if you ever feel that way, you’ll reach out to someone and talk it through. But I also challenge those who aren’t feeling that way to be observant . . . to care about those around you enough to get in their business when things just don’t seem right. You might very well save a life. As the Bible says, we need to bear one another’s burdens. I hope you’ll keep that in mind as you read A Constant Love.
My Review
Another great page turner by Tracie Peterson. Set in ranch country outside of Cheyenne Wyoming, in 1887.
This is a story of love and lost, and when the book begins we are facing lots of loss. The summer was dry and now the winter is bitter, and ranching becomes very devastating.
When the blizzard ends there are bodies of cattle everywhere, but also love ones are lost. A story of survival, and some tightly held secrets.
There is evil lurking here, and found myself cringing whenever this character appeared, I knew nothing good would come of it.
With the Spring comes rebirth, and reaching out to those in need, especially a young man that the Aldrich family has know forever. Charlotte wants Micah to stop seeing her as a little girl, and he needs both her and her mother, but will he see Charlotte before she makes a mistake and marries the wrong man.
When the answers come, I wanted to keep right on reading. I loved the ending!
I received this book through Net Galley, the Publisher Bethany House, and Celebrate Lit, and was not required to give a positive review.
