Knowing You (Pictures of the Heart #3) by Tracie Peterson -- Review

About the Book

Budding artist May Parker is captivated by the Japanese exhibits at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition and longs to know more about her mother's heritage--which her mother refuses to speak of because of the heartache she left behind in Japan. Wanting to experience more of the exhibits, May works as a Camera Girl--but her curiosity leads her into danger when a suit of samurai armor becomes the target of an elusive art forger.

After ten years apart, May is reunited with her childhood friend Lee Munro, a police detective assigned to keep a watchful eye on the exposition. Their friendship immediately begins to blossom with hints of something more, but when they become entangled in a dangerous heist involving the samurai armor and their love is threatened, can they overcome the odds against them?

With impeccable research and award-winning writing, bestselling author Tracie Peterson presents the dramatic conclusion to her Pictures of the Heart series.

Review

Author Tracie Peterson has written a beautiful story about the horrific prejudices of those of Japanese descent in the United States.  It’s a story of true friendship through the years, even with being separated for many of those years, between a camera girl painter and a Pinkerton Policeman.  Readers will adore this story depicting the charm of Japanese culture.  This is a story of a childhood friendship turned romance, as well as discrimination and prejudice, and most of all, through God’s love forgiveness.  Readers will thoroughly enjoy this stirring story that also has a touch of mystery with art theft.  A fantastic read from a fantastic author.
