At Play in the Promised Land / Diane Noble / 200?

     First, there is no book  copy in our system and it is the 3rd in a series.  It is a Christian series set in California in the late 1800's to early 1900's.  In this book, the character is Juliette Rose Dearborne who is an aspiring actress.  She has 5 younger sisters and two brothers.  The plot involves losing her parents and caring for her sisters as she strives to become an actress.  The Christian message is about finding God's purpose for your life and how to follow his direction instead of your own.  Juliette deviates a lot.
     Much of the story is improbable, but it is still quite interesting.  There is, of course, romance.  The "right" guy vs. the "wrong" guy.  Learning what is truly important in life like family.  The side story is the father and one son becoming lost in the Amazon and being captured by a tribe.  All in all, quite interesting.  I am now listening to the 2nd book.
