Very good read. Really enjoyed it.

[Grace Lynch]

The main characters in the book were great! I just wanted to keep reading and had a hard time setting it down for things.

[Marlene Bessette]

Really like the romance in this story

[Dorothea Collyear]

Clean and super cute historical western romance ! Poor Annora goes through losing both parents then has to be set up with someone she definitely does not prefer to marry . What's a girl to do ? Well ...look in the classifieds ads of course. Answering Lucas Brent's ad for Housekeeper/childcare/wife( if the prospect pleases ) she hops a train for his home and his judgement.But Annora has the Lord on her side and there is power in prayer is all I'm going to say. This is clean , sweet read suitable for teens-sweet grandmas
I was given a copy of this wonderful book for my honest review by Barbour Publishing and Netgalley
