Dow encourages readers to put themselves in the shoes of pioneers who forged homes out of the wilderness. Will they put the struggle for survival above love and faith? This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book was so great. I especially enjoyed Megan's Choice and Lisa's Broken Arrow. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical Christian romance novels.
Great read

These stories were very well done (with one exception that I'll get to later). I enjoyed all 4 stories. All were packed full of well developed characters, beautiful romances, and a touch of suspense (alright, more than a touch!). It was nice to see one author write from so many different perspectives. While so many of these types of books include freed slaves, it was nice to have a story from their viewpoint, where they are the primary characters vs. the secondary. I also liked Banjo's New Song where the old guy gets the girl. After how wonderful he was in the other stories he was easy to cheer for. The one annoyance I had wouldn't have bothered me if I hadn't been raised in Colorado. That is, I am curious as to why somebody who lived about 40 miles north of Denver would travel south to Denver to take a stage to Laramie, a city 60 or so miles NE of Denver. It irritated me to the point where I actually pretended the book was set South of Denver, more toward Castle Rock or CO springs... it's prettier down there, anyway!! All in all, though, this book was terrific... very worthwhile.

This was just the kind of story I love to read. It was a good,clean story with no nasty lanaguage and a well written story line. I will be looking for more books like this one. I might add that I have already read Alabama which was a similar type of book. I very much enjoyed that book as well.
simple and nice

The first book is about Megan and Steve and their marriage of convenience. Megan is drawn to Steve because he is always so nice to her, but at first she only feels protective of him when their ranch is attacked. Once she gets saved she realizes she loves him, but feels he will never return her love. The second book is about Em and Chance. This book gives wonderful examples of how God always gives us second chances. The thir is about Lisa and John. I loved this book probably the most. The reader can really see the change in Lisa throughout the book. The last book is about Banjo. This one was probably my least favorite simply because of the age difference between him and Sally. Nothing wrong with age differences it's just that it seemed to me in this book that Sally viewed him as a father more than a husband. But it was well written. Overall they were really enjoyable.
