About the book:
Beyond the Ashes (Abingdon Press, June 2015)
Where better to rebuild and face one’s fears than in 1906 San Francisco, a city rising from the ashes?
Ruby Marshall, a young widow, is certain she’ll discover new purpose assisting her brother Robert with his cancer research, but she doesn’t anticipate finding new love.
Dr. Gerald Larkspur dreams of filling his empty home with family, but he’d always hoped it would be a wife and children. In the aftermath of the great earthquake, the rooms are overflowing with extended family and friends left homeless by the disaster. When Robert’s widowed sister arrives, the close quarters seem close indeed.
Ruby and Gerald’s fledgling romance is put at risk when Gerald develops symptoms of the very disease they’re striving to cure. Together they must ask—is it worth a second chance at love when time might be short?

My Review:
I enjoyed Beyond the Ashes. The story took place right after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. I thought that the description of what it was like afterwards was very good and believable. I loved how everyone worked together to rebuild and recover. I also liked hearing about the cancer research ~ I had no idea it had been going on for so long. I also like how the romance was mixed with all the historical information. It was a good read and it also reminded me that we should be thankful for what we have now ~ it can always change.
