Turnquist: saraturnquist.com Welcome to Episode 191 of the LiteraryScape Podcast Tiffany and her co-host are back for another Friday Book Club discussion. This week they are reviewing A Less Convenient Path by Sara R. Turnquist. It is Book 3 in the Convenient Risk series. And it is unlike anything they have covered in the series so far. This one features a cross-cultural romance set on the American frontier. It is a story of two deeply wounded people who find unexpected hope in each other. If you love Christian historical fiction with heart, depth, and a nail-biting climax — keep reading.   What Is A Less Convenient Path About? Marina is a young Native American woman in a desperate situation. Her tribe has been ordered to a reservation. But during the journey, her people were attacked. She and her young brother are the only survivors. They are wandering the wilderness. Alone. With no way forward. That is when Cutie finds them. Cutie is a ranch hand on the Miller property. He is running from his own painful past. He has made mistakes. He carries guilt he cannot shake. The two of them could not be more different. But their paths cross for a reason.   “A Less Convenient Path is a story of two people without peace.

They may have felt sorry for him early on. Then they found out the truth about his role in a serious incident. It changed things. But Book 3 gives Cutie the chance to be fully understood. He got tangled up with the wrong people because of a complicated relationship with his father. He feels completely unworthy of grace. And yet Brandon — the man he wronged most — extends forgiveness freely and without conditions. “Brandon is so forgiving and gracious and kind. Cutie is like, I can’t even take it — because you should hate my guts.” That tension between guilt and grace is one of the most powerful threads in this book.   Marina — A Woman of Quiet Strength and Growing Faith Marina is a standout character. She comes from a culture with completely different customs and ways of communicating. That creates real misunderstanding between her and Cutie...
