McKenzie
by Penny Zeller
TAGS: Family Drama, Romance
This historical novel, set in 1881, a “prairie romance”, is the first in Penny Zeller’s Montana Skies series. The well-conceived plot of this novel is typical of most historical romances. A damsel in distress—an evil villain— a handsome romance interest—conflict between the central character and the romantic interest—and a final resolution with a happily ever after ending.
McKenzie Worthington, the central character, is a young and naïve high society Bostonian, who, in an attempt to rescue her youngest sister from a dangerous situation, heads to the Montana wilderness.
Fortunately for the reader, this novel is saved from the mundane and totally predicable by Zeller’s strength as a writer. Her story line is meticulous. The faith elements are strong. The plot elements are reasonably complex. Zeller’s characters come to life with richness and vibrancy.
Readers who love the historical romance genre will find McKenzie a step above the rest and will find their own faith strengthened as they reflect on the message of God’s sovereign power woven throughout the novel.
