Customer Reviews

This book is the BEST!!!

I just wanted all of those who are planing to buy this book to know that it is the best book ever. I've read it 3 times allready. So to those who are going to buy this book two words DO IT!!!

A Story of Endurance

This is a story of adventure, romance, comedy and lots of other emotions. I loved the book once I got about 1/3rd the way through. The main characters, Ruth and Marshall McCall make a trip through freezing weather and injured bodies. They also have another person they are responsible for during the trip. The book tells of the events and trials the couple endures along the way. Ruth turns to God for her strength due to a strong faith she possesses. She does what she can to convince Mcall that God loves him and cares what happens to him. He has a hard time believing her because of his rearing by a woman that preached hell and damnation and not the love of God. Ruth is to be admired for her determination, strength, endurance, and her faith in God to take her through anything this life deals to her.

One of her best!

Lori Copeland's delightful mix of romance, sensitivity, and light humor always serves up a "keeper" book! Ruth is no exception. Wonderful characters, great storytelling--readers can't ask for more! Keep them coming, Lori Copeland!

More Brides!

Another great one for Lori! As usual I found myself totally involved in her characters! Ruth riding Bret was a hoot! After Faith, Hope,June and Glory, I am a Lori Copeland fan. Can't wait to find out about Patience. If you want a GREAT Christian book that is not "preachy", but full of humor,and faith sit down with Copeland!

Can she be a mother without giving birth?

Ruth is another of Copeland's Brides of the West. She was one of the original orphans who were brought to Colorado under false pretenses. She must find a way to support herself but does not want to accept the romantic advances of a man nearly old enough to be her grandfather. However, knowing she can never bear children, she feels her chances of a normal marriage are slim. Setting out to force the marshal to take her to Wyoming, she finds her deception almost kills them both. This book had lots of depth, good Christian morals and plenty of suspense and romance. I loved Ruth, the marshal and an Indian baby named Rose.
