Lessons in Love

by Nancy Lavo

Historical inspirational romance
The Civil War is over, and Deborah Marbury, with her cripples seven-year-old brother, is moving to Texas to begin a new life. But her vision of "A Promised Land," a home left to her by her uncle, is instead a wreck of a house occupied by an intimidating Indian who refuses to leave.
A restless wanderer with no family ties, Luke is honor-bound to protect the heirs of the man who took him in long ago. He'll keep his commitment even though it keeps him from settling his own troubling past. Danger is stalking Luke, just as it troubles Deborah on the homestead.
Deborah and Luke disagree about everything, especially things concerning her brother. Can these two learn to agree...and to love?

Reviews

[Danielle Reily · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've read this book a couple times. It is a sweet, but heroic story of a woman trying to make a life for her and her little brother. This story isn't very complicated, but it is very touching and the characters are engaging and very relatable. Altogether it is a fun, sweet, and easy read.

A woman and her little brother attempt to survive at their abandoned family's homestead after their parents are killed. The part-Indian who helped to build the place is still around and tension mounts. [The story of Christ is told as the Indian learns it while he stays near them.]
