Spirit Quest Series, Book 2
PURITY FOUND
Kate goes north in ’73. She immigrates from the US to the province of BC in western Canada and is time-warped into the bittersweet challenges of a backwoods community.
There in the harsh, wild alpine forests and meadows, she’s tested to her utmost limits and searches for purpose and a source of a higher power.
When she encounters Dave, a stern mountain man, his striking face is the same one she saw in a vision. A unique kind of romance starts to blossom, but it will require all the faith she has to travel her destined and turbulent path….
From Sacha Fortune for Reader Views – Gold Seal Award ★★★★★
"A slow-burn unique romance!
A willing, good-natured woman, Kate is easy to love as a protagonist, and we see her rise to the occasion many times, even when she is not sure that she is capable. I also appreciated the descriptions of the environment, picturing the vast nothingness of the outdoors and the quiet, loving, rural community.
The romance is a unique one, as it seems to happen in the background at times, because the 'great outdoors itself becomes its own character, particularly coming down to the end when Dave has to throw himself wholeheartedly into manual labor to get the job done...when the stakes are literally life and death. I look forward to reading more about these characters in the series and more by this author." Gold Seal Award ★★★★★ -Sacha Fortune for Reader Views
From SelfPublishing Review ★★★★
"Purity Found by Jane Catherine Rozek is a tale of spirituality, bravery, trust, and love. Fleeing her past to start over, 22-year-old Kate immigrates to the Canadian wilderness with little beyond her deep belief in God and the messages she receives from Spirit. There, she is transported back in time to the pioneer days, testing her limits in a story about living off the grid and a love that blossoms away from the pressures of the modern world.
This spiritual-minded novel is an inspiring testament to the power of nature and pure faith." Self-Publishing Review ★★★★
Praise for Purity Found
***** Beautiful, Soulful, and Deeply Inspiring
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2025
"Purity Found is more than just a love story—it's a journey of spiritual awakening, grit, and resilience set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Canadian wilderness. Kate’s transformation from newcomer to off-grid homesteader is powerful and raw, showing what it truly means to step out of society’s comfort zone for love, purpose, and deeper connection." (by Ofelya)
***** "The transition from hippie chick to pioneer is palpable. Her visual descriptions of the frozen wilds are every bit a real as Jack London’s in Call of the Wild. While not as extreme as Farley Mowat’s The Snow Walker, her prose does impart the sense of imminent doom by being swallowed up in the cold. Her transition from free spirit to faithful partner is a slow process. I was fascinated by all the learned skills and survival mechanisms. But there is plenty of romance -- an altogether wholesome read!” -Lester Fisher, author
***** "Men,take notice. The author is speaking to us. I downloaded Purity Found and read it straight through in one sitting. Although her target audience is probably women, I really enjoyed the story, and think men could learn a lot about how women understand and experience true love. Rozek’s style is so honest—she writes from the heart, never glorifies. The romance is in her realism. Chapter 22 is absolutely beautiful, but wait for it—please, you have to get there first!" –Scott Berglin
***** “This suspense-ridden novel creates a physical response from the reader that’s joy-filled, melancholy, and poignant all at the same time. I felt a longing to escape into the pristine and innocent wilderness. The setting is a real and visceral thing, so powerful it pulls us in because we love being there. Exceptionally well done! Themes in this book opened a whole new world - ‘She was city-free and fierce.’"
–R. Antkow, Books of Life Publishing House
***** A Beautiful Journey of Faith, Adventure, and Inner Strength
"What sets Purity Found apart is its rich spiritual dimension. It captures the essence of New Age Christianity and Spirituality in a way that feels natural, inspiring, and deeply moving. Kate’s need for a higher power and her journey toward deeper faith is something that resonates far beyond the pages of the story. Even though it’s the second book in The Spirit Quest Series, Purity Found stands powerfully on its own. It’s a book I will return to whenever I need encouragement, inspiration, or simply a reminder of the strength we can find when we lean on faith.
