There was much about this book that I liked, and much that I didn't.
I liked the storyline, although I found the plot somewhat unbelievable. What supposedly family-oriented man would leave his sister alone, with little food and water, essentially for MONTHS, without a care? I realize this was necessary for the storyline, but found it hard to swallow.
I like all kinds of romance books. I like inspirational romances. I think a lot of people like them because even though we may not agree 100% with wh...more

I received a free review copy of this book from TellHarlequin.com.
Kody Douglas is half-white, half-Native American, and despite his loving foster parents, he's never found a world where he feels he belongs. But if there's one thing his upbringing taught him, it's that he can't leave a damsel in distress. So when Kody finds Charlotte Porter alone in a dust storm with no food or water to speak of, he does what his mother would have wanted - he brings her to his parents.
But Kody had a reason for le...more

I'll begin this review by saying I didn't expect to enjoy the book. I agreed to read it because I joined the Tell Harlequin group and I was given two books to read, this being one of them. I expected it to be dry and boring but I was unexpectedly pleased to find out just how wrong I was.
From the first chapter when Charlotte Porter meets Kody Douglas, I liked them. Both are outcasts but for different reasons. Charlotte's brother and his wife abandoned her to seek a better life during the Great D...more

A solid piece of Christian Fiction. It felt like the struggles of the lead characters were in harmony with the time period and their emotions and reactions were realistic.
I'm not very fond of love stories, but this one actually made me tear up! It is splendidly written!

★★★★☆ A fast read, good sense of time and place, not "preachy".
I loved it.

Linda Ford grew up devouring books and making up stories in her head—often late at night when she couldn't sleep. But she hadn't planned to write. Instead, she dreamed of running an orphanage. In a way, that dream came true. She married, had four homemade children, adopted ten and lived (at times, endured) the dream.
