After looking over the reviews of others, I felt that I had to express the real reason that this book was so poorly written. Not only did Helen skip over the best part of having a traditional man marrying a vexing woman, by not providing us with the fun and witty banter of a woman with a quick wit and a sharp tongue. But she completely exposes herself in her lack of education and geographical knowledge by placing this poor rancher in California and then had him die in a TORNADO. That's right I said TORNADO. Who cares if her main character dies. I'm more concerned about the education our children in the mid west are receiving if they believe that the entire planet is plagued with twisters. Granted there have been a few reports of funnel clouds over Californian skies, but if any do ever touch down(which is completely unlikely) they are so small that they blow our trash around the neighborhoods, not tear up entire structures. Furthermore any Californian man who saw large dark clouds on the horizon after a period of drought, would assume it was a fire. Which was a much better and logical way to kill off your main character. A "Bad Storm" is not on anyone's mind. I'm not even going to start to explain or express the concept that Californian's don't have cellars. BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE TO BE UNDER GROUND WHEN THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE. Another real Californian disaster she could have used to kill off this guy.  Rule number one in writing: Write about what you know. If you don't know anything about California don't write about it.
