Into the Whirlwind by Elizabeth Camden is a historical Christian romance set at the time of the great Chicago fire in 1871. This book tells the story of Mollie Knox, a young woman struggling to keep her father's watchmaking company going. As Mollie tries to save what she can from the fire, she finds herself with Zack Kazmarek. Zack is the legal genius for a large department store in Chicago that purchases many of the watches made by Mollie's company. Mollie is completely unaware that Zack harbors feelings for her. Zack is unable to keep these feelings hidden from Mollie as they try to escape the fire. After the fire, as Mollie tries to restart her business and as Zack is trying to help rebuild the department store, they try to see if they can keep alive the sparks of love that were lit during the fire. There are several attempts to put out these sparks, but you will have to read for yourself to see if they manage to stay lit.
This is the second book of Ms. Camden's that I have red. I really enjoy that there is a depth to Ms. Camden's characters that I don't see in a lot of books. Zack and Mollie are strong characters in a strong story line, well supported by the minor characters and subplots that run along with the main plot. This book is an excellent read for anyone wanting a story that goes a little deeper and will leave you very satisfied in the end. The book is scheduled for release on August 1.
