Book Three in The American Journey Series

Two worlds. One heart. A love tested by pride, heritage, and the untamed frontier.
When East meets West, hearts are bound to clash. In 1820, a proud frontiersman caught between two cultures and an Eastern beauty forced into exile must face the wilderness—and their own fears—to discover where they truly belong. From USA Today Bestselling Author Lyn Cote comes a heartfelt tale of identity, courage, and the faith that bridges every divide.

Rafe McKuen, son of an Osage chief’s daughter and a successful American fur trader turned planter, has one foot in each world. As a boy, he moved between his mother’s tribal camp near St. Louis and his father’s Louisiana plantation—beloved at home, yet invisible to New Orleans society. Now grown, Rafe must decide where he belongs—in the refined world of his father’s people or among his mother’s kin on the frontier.

Eve Holcombe has known only the comforts of Eastern society. When her father unexpectedly announces they are moving west, she is startled and uneasy. He refuses to explain, only asking for her trust. Staying behind would mean surrendering her future to an ambitious aunt’s marriage schemes. Reluctantly, Eve follows—unaware that her father’s secrets will alter both their lives forever.

When Rafe and Eve’s paths cross on the edge of the expanding frontier, their differences seem insurmountable. Yet shared hardship, danger, and faith begin to bridge the gulf between them. As the wild land tests their endurance, both must discover what respect truly means—and where love can take root.

A moving story of heritage, forgiveness, and devotion, Journey to Respect continues the sweeping saga of early America from USA Today Bestselling Author Lyn Cote.

“I so very seldom write a review but I couldn't turn the last page without leaving one this time. Characters and emotions in this book seem so stunningly real I felt I was in the midst of them…”

Loved this

I loved the book. Characters were lovable and relatable. A strong woman with a good head!
Some parts are sad, some are happy and there is a little mystery thrown in! To make it even better it was sweet and clean!

Great love of land and peace

I really like this book. It has history of Indians and love that stood strong.

great story and history

the digital voice is very off-putting it is really lacking in communicating the human element of the story.
