The intriguing and little-known story of the Harvey Houses frontier railroad stops which were one of the few reputable places for women to work are the setting for author Tracie Peterson's newest historical novel, Hidden in a Whisper. Well-known for her own books as well as her RIBBONS OF STEEL and RIBBONS WEST series written with Judith Pella, she has again created a marvelous tale of love and redemption in the hard lands of the frontier West. Continuing the story begun with the bestseller A Shelter of Hope, the newest book in the WESTWARD CHRONICLES series is sure to capture your imagination.
In the book, Rachel Taylor's dedication to hard work has secured her a rare position as the house manager for the newest Harvey House in New Mexico. The job seems like an answered prayer until she hears that she will be working with Braeden Parker, a man she had hoped was part of a past long buried. The feelings she still holds conflict with her shattered trust and Rachel struggles to reconcile the two when a cunning new Harvey Girl, Ivy, appears on the scene.
Haunted by painful memories, Rachel desperately yearns to embrace Braeden's love and keep him from falling into Ivy's clever snares. Before she can fully trust any man however, Rachel must learn to give her trust over fully to the loving hands of her Father.

Born at the dawn of the age of discovery, Gerhard Mercator lived in an era of formidable intellectual and scientific advances. At the center of these developments were the cartographers who painstakingly pieced together the evidence to create ever more accurate pictures of the planet. Mercator was the greatest of all of them-a poor farm boy who attended one of Europe's top universities, was persecuted and imprisoned by the Inquisition, but survived to coin the term atlas and to produce the so-called projection for which he is known. Devoutly religious, yet gripped by Aristotelian science, Mercator struggled to reconcile the two, a conflict mirrored by the growing clash in Europe between humanism and the Church.
Mercator solved the dimensional riddle that had vexed cosmographers for so long: How could the three-dimensional globe be converted into a two-dimensional map while retaining true compass bearings? The projection revolutionized navigation and has become the most common worldview.
Nicholas Crane-a fellow geographer-has combined a keen eye for historical detail with a gift for vivid storytelling to produce a masterful biography of the man who mapped the planet.
