But when he sends for her five years later in 1874, it's clear her feelings have changed far more than his. Despite his desire to marry and her wish to leave, they forge a compromise. If she remains as the ranch's housekeeper until spring, he will pay for her trip back home.

"I read this book in one day while traveling from TN to NJ by car. Once I started, it was hard to put down. I enjoy good Christian fiction and though I have only read one other book by this author, just before I read this one, I will definitely read more of Kim Vogel Sawyer's books."

" I really enjoyed the story line. "
— Michelle, 1/9/2014 -
" Pretty good. The book as a whole was great until the end. It got a little too preachy and towards "Christian Lit" at the end for my taste. "
— Debdunk, 1/3/2014 -
" The story was okay but predictable and a little bit preachy at the end. Typical formula Christian novel. The accents on the CD drove me nuts...didn't sound at all English. "
— Maam, 11/26/2013 -
" B; An easy listen Christian story based in the frontier days. "
— Cathy, 11/4/2013 -
" I thought it was okay. I didn't necessarily like the initial plot of the book, but the secondary characters sort of grew on me. I loved the support of good friends that the heroine had; she needed them. I always like to read stories where a person's faith is rekindled. All in all, it was okay. "
— Emily, 6/24/2013 -
" Good enough that I wanted to finish it. "
— Joanne, 6/3/2013 -

— Amanda, 10/16/2011 -
" I enjoyed listening to this. "
— Katherine, 10/12/2011 -
" Finished by listening to audio. Don't think I would have gotten through it otherwise. Tells a good story and tries to throw in hardships and trials to offset the ridiculous good fortune that is seen by the end, but still very unrealistic. "
— Jessica, 10/20/2010 -
" I loved it. It was really clean of course since is a Christian author and I liked that. I couldn't stop reading it until I finished. Great story, and great message. "
— Esbaide, 7/15/2010 -
" This is dreadful but I keep plugging through the CDs out of fascination with what more about pioneer life it can possibly get wrong. "
— Barbara, 7/3/2010 -
