Ever
Faithful The third book on the Vintage National Park series by Karen Barnett
and my favorite of the series. It’s also the only one in the series set during
the Great Depression. Set at Yellowstone National Park in the 30s with the new
Civilian Conservation Corps. Nate Webber is a Brooklyn “kid” who finds himself
in Yellowstone as part of the CCC. Elise Brookes is a rangers daughter who
wants to be a teacher.
These
two come for different worlds but somehow that’s what makes them work. While
another suitor for Elsies hand tries to make plans for them both Nate doesn’t
want to come between Elise and her dreams. He wants her to have a future
because he doesn’t feel like he has one.
This
book was proof that you can’t choose a book by its cover nor a person on how
three look on the outside or where they are from.
I
think that why this was my favorite was because it included the CCC which was
what my great grandpa was a part of the 30s and like Nate he was the old man of
the group as he was on the older side. But the program allowed him to get an
education including learning to read. So even though he wasn’t from Brooklyn
Nates story was similar to his. I went back and forth with reading and
listening to the audio for this one because I loved hearing abated Brooklyn
accent.
I
didn’t want this series to end but I did enjoy this one. As I wait for Karen’s
next book I’m going to get caught up on her back list.
I
think readers who enjoy historical fiction and nature and the outdoors will
love this one.
