Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 1, 2014
Olivia Pritchet and her two sons ride from North Carolina to Texas by stagecoach/train so that she can marry John Carter, a man she had met a few months earlier. After the two week trip, she arrived at Esperar to learn that John had died two days before. His partner, Monroe Locket grudgingly agree for her to go to the ranch he and John owned and stay until the next stagecoach came by going north. John had built a cabin for them, and her desire was to see it and spend Christmas with her two sons there. The story becomes complicated as Monroe begins to change his abstinent mind about having a woman around. Her homemaking, cooking and care for others eventually rubbed off on Monroe, and by the time the stagecoach came through, Monroe knew he loved Olivia and wanted to marry her. This story has many twists and turns but is good reading although not a Christian romance.
