First let me say that the grammar and spelling in this book were horrible and distracting!  OMG, a 5th grader could write better than this!  Where are the editors?  This should have been a .99 special, instead of $2.99!  I feel like I was ripped off paying so much for this "draft" copy.  Shame on you Amazon for allowing these books in your library!  Now to the story:  I liked Alice and her relationship with her aunt and the love they shared.  I also liked Jake and thought he should have stood up to his dad and not let him force a marriage on him.  If he had feelings for Alice he should have declared himself and married her instead, particularly after his dad died.  I also liked Helen and David and thought that Alice and David made a great couple.  With death all around them I can understand the quick marriage and not to waste a day.  I think that it was a sweet story, but too much of the book was spent in Massachusetts and not enough time in Kansas building up the love story for Alice and David.  The letters back and forth from Richard were sweet, but should have been not been made the main storyline since he didn't make it.  More time should have been spent building up David's story and growing love for Alice.  Needs some work on this story Claire/Karolyn.  While you are at it fix your other books in this series.  They are all plagued with the same crappy grammar and spelling and editing snafus.
