A Choice Considered

June 14, 2024
After a lifetime of following her father's nomadic railroad employment, Melody Doyle is ready to call Cheyenne her home. But her old-fashioned father refuses to leave her on her own in the unpredictable Wild West. His ultimatum--find a husband or follow the railroad onward. Newcomer Charlie Decker has his own dilemma to consider in second-guessing his choice to follow the family banking tradition instead of God's true calling for him. Their friendship deepens as Melody endures unsuccessful campaigns for her hand, leaving them both to wonder if the love and purpose they seek are actually right in front of them. In the second in the Heart of Cheyenne series, following A Love Discovered (2024), Peterson continues to be an esteemed creative mainstay in the inspirational historical romance genre. In A Choice Considered, she intersects chaste nineteenth-century values and a premise reminiscent of The Bachelorette. The theme of friendship before romance lends wisdom and depth to Melody's dating disappointments while supportive family and community relationships reinforce the impetus to trust in God's plan for love and a future of hope.
