Book Review: Shadows of the Canyon by Tracie Peterson

Shadows of the Canyon by Tracie Peterson


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The story of this book was very fun. I learned about an aspect of travel I had never even heard of, they were a chain of restaurants and hotels that catered to the railway travelers at the turn of the century. They were called the Harvey House Restaurants and they were run by the Fred Harvey Company. The specific hotel in this book was called El Tovar and was on the rim of the Grand Canyon and is still there today, although it is run by another company. I generally enjoy religious fiction, because I know there won't be a lot of unecessary garbage in them. I enjoyed the story of this book, but all of the references to being saved by grace were more than I cared for, especially because to my knowlege the particular phrasing in this book is more modern vernacular than would have occured around the turn of the century. I also felt like some of the language and names were too modern for the hitorical time it occured in.
