Review: Plains of Promise
Rating: 5 out of 5

Plains of Promise is the sequel to Where Leads the Heart.  It is an excellent story, along with many others written by Colleen Coble.  I admired Emma Croftner, the main character of this story, because of her strength and ability to go forward with her life after the "husband" dies and she finds out he is already married.  She makes the long journey to Fort Laramie to be with the Campbells, characters from Where the Heart Leads.  Then she has to deal with finding out she is pregnant, but not actually married.  This is a great story of how she faces many trials and challenges from "widowhood" to finding a truly wonderful man, Lt. Isaac Liddle, who was also in Where the Heart Leads.  I would strongly recommend this book to anyone, but would suggest reading Where the Heart Leads first, so you get to know those characters when you read Plains of Promise.  I've read and enjoyed several of Colleen Coble's books, and this one was no exception.
