About this eBook

Mary Reichert is one of the best sharpshooters in the country, and in the Brookstone Wild West Extravaganza her skills are on display in every performance. But unless the man responsible for her brother's death is brought to justice, Mary's fame and accomplishments seem hollow. She feels helpless in the face of the murderer's money, power, and connections. The only bright spot in her days is the handsome journalist who keeps attending their shows.

Christopher Williams has been assigned to follow the Brookstone show on its 1901 tour of England and write a series of articles for his magazine. As he gets to know the cast he quickly finds himself irresistibly drawn to the show's sharpshooter. But getting close to someone would threaten to bring his past to light. How could he ever win Mary's heart if she knows the truth? Mary and Chris will both have to trust God if they are to heal from the wounds of the past and chart a new future together.

Ratings and reviews

Wherever You Go by Tracie Peterson is the second novel in the Brookstone Brides series. I recommend reading When You are Near before embarking on Wherever You Go. Each novel in the series builds upon the previous. I found Wherever You Go to be well-written with established characters. I like that the author is featuring female performers who are smart, strong and brave. Mary Reichert is a talented woman who is forthright. She works at honing her sharpshooting skills and developing new routines. Mary is a woman of strong faith who is having a hard time with her brother’s death. August was killed by two powerful men and Mary cannot accept that they are running around free. These men, though, have no intention of serving time for their crimes. Christopher “Chris” Williams joins the show to write articles for My America magazine. He is drawn to Mary and wants to help her get justice for August. I like how Chris grew as an individual over the course of the novel plus I enjoyed his faith journey. Their romance goes down a bumpy road, but the trip will be worth the results. Lizzy and Wesley’s story continues in this book. Jason Adler fancies himself in love with Lizzy and will do what it takes to come between the couple. I found this storyline to be compelling and I could not wait to see how it would play out. There were some tense moments. Wesley is a God fearing man and I liked his insights into God and the scriptures. I especially enjoyed his thoughts on the Holy Ghost. Wesley’s brother, Philip gets a job with the show. Wesley needs to keep on eye on Philip because he is trouble with a capital T. I found that Tracie Peterson captured the time period and brought it alive with her depictions. Forgiveness, redemption and faith are three themes in Wherever You Go. One of my favorite phrases from the book is “Guns can’t do anything by themselves. They require the action of someone else.” I am looking forward to reading Ella’s story in What Comes My Way. Wherever You Go is a compelling historical novel with Wild West show wonders, sleek stallions, dangerous desperadoes, European elegance, a sly suitor, and long lasting love.

This is book two in the Brookstone Brides series, you do not have to read book one to understand this book yet you will miss history of the Brookstone family and the show. We reconnect with old friends (from book one) and meet a few more. There is history, mystery, romance, sharpshooters and more.
