Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Angel From the East by Barbara A. Curtis

Book: Angel from the East

Author: Barbara A. Curtis

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release Date: June 24, 2025

His path to redemption lies in the hands of the citified newcomer who believes the worst of him.

Caleb Morgan has had everything stolen from him—his strength, the job he loved, even his good name. He’s determined to even the score with the man responsible, until he meets the captivating new owner of the Double E Ranch. Though he’s drawn to her compassion, he fears she may never see beyond his supposed wrongdoings, unless he can prove his innocence and reclaim his honor.

Eliza Roberts is a teacher, not a rancher. But if she has any hope of selling the ranch she inherited from her grandfather and continuing on to her new life in California, she needs to restore it to some semblance of order. If only the man her grandfather advised her to trust wasn’t refusing to help her.

When an offer of courtship arises from the current foreman, Eliza sees the practicality in the offer. So why does her heart keep wandering back to Caleb? And why can’t she shake the feeling that something’s not right at the Double E Ranch? Will she have the courage to follow the clues behind the strange mishaps at the Double E—and possibly embrace a different life than she imagined?

Christian Historical Romance is a genre that I truly enjoy. Angel From the East by Barbara A. Curtis is the most recent in this genre that I have read. It is Book 1 in the Blooms of the Bitterbrush series. 

The story intrigued me and captivated my attention from the very beginning. The setting is 1897  in Idaho. The 2 main characters in this book are Caleb Morgan and Eliza Roberts. Caleb and Eliza are from different parts of the Country, yet their paths cross when Eliza stops in Idaho on her way to California. Eliza's grandfather had a ranch, Double E Ranch, and Eliza was stopping to check on the Ranch. Eliza learns that the Ranch that used to be her grandparents, now belongs to her, is in major disarray and she might be in Idaho longer then anticipated. Caleb and Eliza are growing closer to one another, yet there is a trust issue as Caleb knows why the Ranch is in poor condition, yet won't tell Eliza. The book takes an interesting turn as the truth is discovered. I really LOVE that the book is very scriptural, yet not preachy. Both Eliza and Caleb go through Redemption and Forgiveness. The characters learn to trust one another and a sweet romance blossoms. The book is one of God's plan is better then our own plans. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Romance. FANTASIC BOOK!

More from Barbara

Though Elizabeth Rose Roberts, the matriarch of the Double E Ranch, has passed before the Blooms of the Bitterbrush series begins, each story reflects the legacy she left for the generations to come. May the journey of these four descendants be an encouragement to your heart as you follow the struggles, love, and joy of Elizabeth’s family through the years.

In Angel from the East, Nellie loves baking pies and had a special request from one of the little Billings girls.

“I love pie! I hope it’s pum-kin tomorrow!” Virginia shouted.

Hopefully, Nellie had prior experience making a pumpkin pie or possessed a later recipe with detailed instructions, as this early recipe from an 1876 cookbook might not have helped much:

Peel and cut your pumpkin into small pieces and put into a kettle with a very little water; cook from six to eight hours, stirring frequently to prevent burning. When done, rub through a colander. One quart of pumpkin, five pints of rich milk, four eggs, three cups of sugar, one scant teaspoon of ginger and 4 tsp of cinnamon.

I hope you enjoy the stories—and perhaps a piece of pumpkin pie to go with them!

Blessings!
