Barbour Publishing and Netgalley provided me a copy of When the Sky Burned for review:

It is Mariah Randolph’s dream to have her paintings displayed in the world’s best museums, and Hollis Stanford, the heir to a railroad tycoon, is her ticket to success. Jay Franklin, the railroad’s bookkeeper, discovers discrepancies and believes Hollis is stealing. A fire utterly destroys Peshtigo, Wisconsin, on October 8, 1871, eradicating any evidence of his dirty dealings.

Mariah loses her sight due to the fire, but Jay befriends her and even encourages her to paint again. In the end, a trip to Chicago to return Hollis’s daughter to him could put Mariah and Jay in greater danger than the fire that destroyed their town.

I give When the Sky Burned five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
