From the author of the groundbreaking series, A Prairie Heritage, comes the compelling story of fiery-haired, fiery-tempered Tabitha Hale. Rescued from a life of depravity, Tabitha gives her heart to God and her life to nursing.
As this tenacious, redeemed woman perseveres toward her vocation, her temper and stubborn independence threaten to derail her aspirations. Will Tabitha pass the trial by fire that is necessary for God to truly use her?
And what is Tabitha to do with her feelings for Mason Carpenter, the man who simply refuses to give up on her? Is it even possible for God to ordain a shared future for two such different people, both with fervent callings upon their hearts?
When the Great War erupts in Europe, Carpenter leaves for England to train British pilots to fly reconnaissance missions over Belgium and France. Soon after, Tabitha hears God asking her to nurse the war wounded. However, because America has not joined in the fight, Tabitha has few options. Will the elite British Nursing Service make a place for her? Will they accept the services of an American volunteer?
And will Tabitha and Mason overcome the differences that stand between them?
Revisit Palmer House—a most extraordinary refuge for young women rescued from prostitution. Renew your acquaintance with Rose Thoresen, Joy Michaels, and the others who live at Palmer House. Glimpse the years between Stolen and Lost Are Found.

Tabitha Girls from the Mountain Book 1 edition by Vikki Kestell Religion Spirituality eBooks
A prolific reader, I've never liked historical fiction series (other than mysteries), but I was bored one afternoon while recovering from knee surgery and decided to read a free download of one of Vikki Kestell's books in her Prairie Heritage series. Within just a few pages, I was hooked, and since then I've read almost all of Kestell's novels. Like the others "Tabitha" is an outstanding read in every regard.First, the plot of the novel is complex enough to hold the reader's attention, but not so complex that it is difficult to follow or that it is implausible. Additionally, the two strands -- Tabitha's life and the historical elements elements of the story-- are carefully and subtly woven to create a narrative that is historically accurate and very balanced, something that is often missing in historical fiction.
The characters are well-crafted as well. Kestell has, once again, created characters that don't seem like characters. Rather, they are multi-dimensional, believable men and women who come alive on the pages of this novel.
Just as I had never liked historical fiction series until reading another of Kestell's novels, I had never cared much for Christian fiction. The reasons varied with the books. Some were Biblically unsound; some were heavy-handed, preachy; in others, the Christian element seemed to be "tacked-on" awkwardly, with the Christian element not smoothly integrated into the story. Kestell, on the other hand, weaves the Christian element into her story just as it should be woven into a Christian's life -- it's not a separate part tacked on; rather, it's simply an integral part of the character's life that is shown (not "shouted") in the way the characters go about their daily lives. Yes, there are times that the Christian element comes to the forefront and is the focus of the narrative, but that is true in real life as well.
In short, "Tabitha" is a fantastic book!
Because I want to be very fair to any reader who is considering purchasing this book (and I hope they/you will), there is one issue that popped up sporadically in the e-reader version of this book. Several times, particularly early in the book, the perspective of the story changes from one character to another without any "white space" or indication that the perspective is changing. In one sentence the reader is with Tabitha and her fellow students, and in the very next sentence/paragraph a different character in a different place is speaking. This is a bit disconcerting at first, but it doesn't affect the quality of the novel and doesn't, therefore, affect my rating.
If you have never been a fan of historical fiction or if you've never cared for Christian fiction, "Tabitha" might well be the novel that changes your mind. I urge you to give it a try!

Tabitha Girls from the Mountain Book 1 edition by Vikki Kestell Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
The beginning of this story starts with Tabitha telling her story to Rose...from the book A Rose Blooms Twice. She told how she ended up being one of the Girls from the Mountain. How God changed her life from a seed planted in her heart by a preacher she had passed along a road somewhere. Hers was a story of survival in a brothel, a place she did not want to be.
It's also a story of Tabitha coming to know Christ as her Savior and being willing to serve Him no matter where He called her. She endured some rough times at nursing school, but God was shaping her for her future service. Service to Him and to her country.
I just really enjoyed this story and the many spiritual lessons woven into it. There is much more to the this story, but I don't want to spoil it!
This story was the BEST I've read for quite some time! The twists and turns in this young woman's life are a masterpiece of intrigue, confusion, and clarity! The beauty of this story, however, is that this girl could be any one of us if our circumstances had been different!. One of the best thrills of this piece, and there were many, is to see how Tabithas life was changed by God and against all odds, became resolved in living fashion by a God whom she trusts completely for her needs!! Truly a wonderful, captivating story!. Thank you SO much!!
When I read the first few pages I was not sure if I would like this book or not. As I continued I was drawn into the story until I could not put it down. I kept reading more and more while at the same time hoping that the book wasn't ending. I would check my progress every few chapters to be sure that there was more to read.
The book is a good story with absolutely no offensive language. You will read about the many twists and turns of Tabitha's life and travel with her as she follows where God is leading. Her faith is inspiring. I am now going to look for book 2 in the series. I will also look for more books from this author.
After reading the Prairie Heritage series by this author twice in the last three years and enjoying them just as much the second time around, I couldn't wait to read Tabitha's story (one of the characters in the series). I wasn't disappointed. Read the book last night til I couldn't hold my eyes open; finished it this afternoon. Vikki has a wonderful ability to not only tell a compelling story with characters who you grow to love and admire, but she skillfully weaves the plan of salvation in her stories and tells how God can save even the worst of sinners. The book's main characters are faced with many hardships, but because they put their faith and trust in the Lord, they don't become bitter, they become better. From a rebellious young girl growing up on a farm, then sold into a life of prostitution by her boyfriend, to her escaping from a brothel and taken in by Christians who don't judge her by her past but try to show her God's love and mercy, Tabitha's life was filled with trials and challenges. After trusting Jesus as her Savior, she still faced many trials, but she had her mentor, Rose Thoresen, praying for her and giving her Godly counsel, and she did not let life's adversities cause her to turn her back on her new-found faith. After completing nurses school and volunteering to go to England and serve during the war, she still faced many challenges and trials, but she was faithful to the Lord and in obeying His will. She didn't realize it at the time, but each trial prepared her for other trials in the future and helped her grow in her faith.
