I love this author! These books always re assure my faith and just leave me feeling peaceful and good.

I am cleaning out my bookcase and am finally ready to let go of these books. Mine was a fancy (for then) slipcovered paperback set of the first three books. I read them sometime in the mid-80s and then again several times in the early 90s. I loved this series so much that I read every single book Janette Oke wrote until the mid-90s. Since I haven't read any of them in 20 or 30 years, it's probably time to let them go. Of course, I did make sure they were available on Kindle - just in case. They are.

Just like the first you just read, read, and read. I love these books.

The first part of the book is about how Missie and Willie establish their home in the West and I missed Marty and Clark very much. In the second part, some bad things happen and I was very sad about them. That's why I am giving 3 stars only.

Honestly it wasn’t really the book for me I like a LOT of adventure a little bit of danger in my books this one just was kind of boring from my perspective but that’s honestly just my opinion it could’ve been better in my opinion.
