Sybil Roberts uses the warmth of delicious meals to lift the spirits of road-weary travelers at The Inn at Falls Creek. Her life at the inn would be perfect if she could just get her brothers and mother to move back home.

And if she could see Isaac Owens again.

He visited the inn once when he interviewed for the farm manager job, and she’s dreamed of his return to Falls Creek ever since.

Isaac Owens knows how to run a farm. His family might not have faith in him, but if he succeeds at Falls Creek, he’ll prove them wrong. He arrives at the inn thinking the job is his, but the inn’s senile owner offered the position to another man too. Isaac must spend the winter competing if he wants to win the job… and Sybil’s heart.

It will take more than warm meals on cold nights for Sybil and Isaac to find love while working at the isolated inn.

Uncharted Promises weaves past and future in a faith-filled story of life in a hidden land. If you enjoy the rural setting and wholesomeness of frontier romance and Amish fiction, you’ll adore Uncharted Promises.
 
My Review: 5 Stars
 
In a mixture of historical and futuristic, this whole series is extremely fascinating to me. Keely Brooke Keith has put together a saga that takes place in a hidden society at the end of this decade and after another world war, but has the feel of an old-fashioned, almost backward, historical society. 
Sybil's family runs an inn and they need a new farm manager. Enter Isaac, a hard-working, simple man who is determined to win Sybil's heart.

The complicated, yet simpleness, of this story is what captured my attention and my heart. I love learning more and more about this place and the people who live here. I suggest reading them in order, since characters make appearances in other books and this world is gradually built throughout the series. Everything is so gentle and smooth, yet there are underlying tensions of complication and mystery. I keep waiting for the shoe to drop and it leaves me slightly unsettled, but it also keeps me eagerly devouring each new release, so keep on writing, Ms. Keith!

Content: mild romance; mild religion
