About the Book:  Julia Darling is finally able to marry her Paul for eternity. But it's a harsh world for a rancher in turn-of-the-century Wyoming, especially a Mormon rancher. When alienation and threats start coming, Julia must prove she's her husband's equal in strength and endurance as she learns to let go of scars on the outside and inside. Best-selling author Carla Kelly has woven a new story about the depths of love discovered by enduring to the end.

About the Author:   A newcomer to Cedar Fort Publications, Carla Kelly is a veteran of the New York and international publishing world. The author of more than thirty novels and novellas for Donald I. Fine Co., Signet, and Harlequin, Carla is the recipient of two Rita Awards (think Oscars for romance writing), from Romance Writers of America, and two Spur Awards (think Oscars for western fiction) from Western Writers of America.

The Kellys recently (last year) retired, and moved from North Dakota to Utah, where they have relatives.

Kay's Kritique:  Carla Kelly was a new author for me as I read & reviewed Marion's Christmas Wish a few weeks ago and really enjoyed.  So I was excited to read Enduring Light as a pre-release from NetGalley.  As I started reading, I realized this is a sequel to another book, Borrowed Light which I have not read.  This book is so well written that I was able to keep up and enjoy Enduring Light.  And even though I know the end of the story, Carla's writing is so good, I want to go back and read Borrowed Light.  I really like out heroine, Julia Darling, who relieves stress by cooking up a storm - and the wonderful chemistry between her and Paul makes it an exciting and clean romance (which I am always grateful for).  Because I also love to cook, I was glad to see recipes at the end of the book from a turn of the century cookbook that will be fun to try.  Although there are a few traditional ones from a Western Round Up I can assure you I will never make or try.
