A Hope Unburied

By Kimberley Woodhouse

Book Overview

In the bustling world of paleontology in 1916, Eliza Mills defies societal expectations to pursue her passion. Having published her early groundbreaking papers anonymously, she has finally earned her place at the Carnegie Museum and seizes the opportunity to work at Dinosaur National Monument with a renowned paleontologist. But things in Jensen, Utah, aren't what they appear. When Eliza gets the chance to dig up bones at a ranch with a dark history, it sparks a chain of events that will rock the very fabric of her carefully constructed world.

Devin Schmitt, Eliza's closest friend since childhood, harbors unspoken feelings for her but knows he will never be able to win her heart. Just as he vows to give her up for good, Eliza begs him to visit her in Utah for another grand adventure. He reluctantly agrees, and within a few days of his arrival, he and Eliza find themselves entangled in a web of danger where the stakes are much higher than they ever anticipated. In a race against time, Devin and Eliza must hold on to God as their hope as they navigate a treacherous terrain of betrayal to unbury the truth and save Eliza from those who wish to see her fail.

Customer Reviews

An exciting conclusion to a great dinosaur themed series!

"You’re clearly brilliant and successful. But you have put entirely too much pressure on yourself. We all do it. We put ourselves in a place where we think we have to orchestrate our own lives. As if we are the masters of our destiny and not in the hand of the living God who loves us and knows what is best for us.” 4 stars for this read! I know I say this rather often, but I really love this book cover! Regardless of the adage "don't judge a book by it's cover" gorgeous covers are one of the first things that make me consider requesting or reading a book. Is it tastefully done, is it modest, is it intriguing? All those aspects a role in picking my next read. Really, all the covers in this series have been quite lovely, kudos to the artists behind their design! Content- not much here to report thankfully. :) Language: the word fool is used a few times. Trigger warnings: death, a villain drinks whiskey. This read is a nice conclusion to a cool series that touched on paleontology, the study of dinosaurs. I loved the real historical characters that were effortlessly blended into the story, as well as the behind the scenes info in the back of the book that told more about the time period, the scientists and how this book came into being. "A Hope Unburied" kept me intrigued and on the edge of my seat. While I kind of hate to see the series end, I eagerly look forward to the writer's next works. Thank you to Bethany House Publishers for the complimentary e-book I received to review through Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review, and the thoughts above are my own.
