I really enjoy the history that Ms. Carlton weaves into her stories. It brings the characters to life and enriches the book. I have read most of the books in her Mail Order Bride series and although each one is a stand alone book, she manages to link to characters in previous books. This one has the Thomas children grown up and pursuing their college educations and careers. The author does a great job pointing out the attitude of the time regarding a woman pursuing a career in a male dominated profession. The Thomas ladies are very brave and determined.This is predominantly the story of Jonathan and Laura, but Jonathan's sister Rebecca also finds someone special. Very nice. Once again, family values shine through in this one and I, for one, really appreciate that.  Highly recommended.
