Catherine's Pursuit by Lena Nelson Dooley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Series McKenna's Daughters by Lena Nelson Dooley, book #3 "Catherine's Pursuit"

  Although this is the last book in a series it could well be read by itself and be a wonderful story.  This is the story of Catherine (one of triplets) who found out on 18th birthday that she had sisters which she had never known before.
Catherine had always wished she had siblings but had lost her mother when she was born.  It was a devastating blow to learn that there were two sisters out there, she had never seen and they looked just like her, as they were identical triplets.
 As book #1 began there was a wagon train with a young couple Angus & Lenora who was with child.  When Lenora gave birth to triplets and then died shortly afterwards her husband was devastated and didn't know how he would raise 3 little girls, there had been another woman on the train who had lost a baby and was so sad that he knew she would love his little girl and be a good mama so he let her adopt his daughter and then another couple childless that wanted children so badly got the third little girl, he gave each the middle name of Lenora and he kept the oldest child Catherine....
Angus regretted his choice many times over the years but he would not go back and disrupt lives of the girls and their parents so he dealt with his pain with God's help over the years.

Colin is a young man who had been a  captain of a ship that had been lost when a very bad storm caused it to go down, he was a hero to many as he made sure all lives were saved and didn't think of his own safety.
He bore scars of that fateful journey and had never forgave himself for losing a ship....

Angus McKenna knew Colin was a good young man and he took him into the business to help him with his work, Angus sent Colin to watch over Catherine after she ran away..it was a job he did reluctantly as he thought the young lady was a selfish self centered haughty person...

You will want to read this wonderful story and see how Catherine decides to run away and pursue finding her sisters, the trip that will end with many surprises...

I was given this book by Booketeria to read and review, Tnank you...
We could all learn many things on this journey as a young man learns how to forgive himself, a young girl learns to think of others more and less of herself, we learn when choices are made, God needs to help us make them and help us deal with the afterwards...
I enjoyed reading about the different lives of three born at one time -raised seperately but yet with many of the same quirks....
