Description

Where Heaven Meets Cheyenne tells the story of four middle-class American families and how their unlikely fates intertwined. This narrative unfolds through the varying perspectives of five main characters, touching upon timeless themes such as the nature of God, perception versus reality, and finding grace in the midst of hardship.

As Luke Bainbridge nears forty, everything is going as planned. He loves his work as a cattle rancher on the gusty plains of Chugwater, Wyoming, as well as his wife and their two young daughters. However, his world is shaken when his wife finds a lump in her left breast, leading Luke to question the goodness of life as they struggle for hers.

Forty-five miles south in Cheyenne, Diana faces similar questions when her husband, Chuck Westerman, a Dartmouth graduate and ordained minister, is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Where Heaven Meets Cheyenne contrasts the brokenness of living with its hope in the beauty of it. The humanity and originality of its characters will have readers laughing with them on one page and welling up the next.

Featured Reviews

This is a stunningly beautiful, beautifully-written, and heartrending book. It’s perfect for fans of thoughtful books with Christian characters who still seek God through painful times (e.g., Peace Like a River by Leif Enger or Gilead by Marilynne Robinson). The characters aren’t strait-laced - there’s swearing, sexual comments, and crying out to God in despair and anger - but it’s real and raw and human. There is hope and love still in the struggle. I highly recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atmosphere Press for the free eARC. I post this review with my honest opinions.
