  <default-description>She's cared for her siblings as best she could . . . but is it enough?  Instead of the new life she and her family expected to forge out west, seventeen-year-old Angela is thrust into the role of caring for her three younger siblings after the death of their parents. With the help of her older brother, and trust in God, Angela is determined to raise the children as her mother would have wanted. As the youngsters grow, the questions and challenges intensify. Angela feels trapped and overwhelmed. Surely no man will ever want a woman who comes with three children in tow. Is this the plan God has for her life? Will she ever find a way to balance her own dreams with the promises she made to her mama?</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved reading this sweet book. You follow Angela as she cares for her younger siblings. Like any girl she dreams of having her own family and a husband to love her. With God's help she learns which paths to take. It is a good book for a rainy day.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of the greatest books by this author, it made me a better person to read it. When I was young my Mom would read out loud to us ( me and my 4 sisters) and so it just brings back a lot of good memories to re read some of those books.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good look at early frontier life.  I really felt sorry for all the work the heroine had to do! I wish they would have made Carter more two dimensional as a character.]]></body>
