This series includes three titles set in the
late 1800s. Each novel features different events unique to American history. In
Book 1 Building Fences, Mending Hearts, 175 pages, we travel the Oregon Trail in
a covered wagon and claim land under President Lincoln's Homestead Act. Climb
aboard the transcontinental railroad during the heart wrenching orphan train
period in Book 2 The Right Choice, 162 pages. A stagecoach takes a nervous bride
west with plans to marry a stranger in Mail Order Bride, Book 3, 286 pages. I
hope you enjoy this glimpse into the past, as well as the heartwarming
characters who live it.
BUILDING FENCES, MENDING HEARTS
Newly widowed, Emma Smith grieves for her lost husband. But after President
Lincoln signs the Homestead Act offering free land, she reluctantly agrees to
her restless father’s plan to move west. Along with her sister and young son,
the small family joins a wagon train setting out on the Oregon Trail. The
journey is fraught with adversity and heartache, eventually changing the
travelers’ destination as well as their lives. When the group begins to
homestead, Emma finds herself alone with four children in the raw, untamed
west. She learns to draw on an inner strength she didn’t know she possessed and
renews her faith along the way. But will Emma be able to come to terms with the
death of her husband and embrace a new love in this rough land?
Gruff rancher Seth Summers doesn’t feel Montana in the 1860s is a safe place
for women and children. He’s experienced enough personal tragedy to confirm the
fact. But a pretty new neighbor, who works harder than most men, gradually gets
under his skin. Without even knowing it, he begins to long for a feminine
presence on his ranch and in his life. Can he win the heart of the attractive
widow?
THE RIGHT CHOICE
Connor Wilson is finally ready to start his own ranch. He’s worked hard and
invested wisely, even traveling across the ocean to secure prime cattle. Now
he’s riding the train toward the next phase of his life. During the journey,
the rugged cowboy takes it upon himself to intervene on behalf of three young
brothers. His good deed done, he never expects to see the boys or their lovely
caregiver again. But best laid plans don’t always go as we hope and the brief
encounter is destined to change his life.
The ultimate objective of Hadley House is to place some of New York City’s
orphaned and abandoned children in loving homes. With her eye on achieving that
goal, Naomi Holender travels west by train with a group of youngsters. In the
process she will be required to make the most painful sacrifice of her life. An
orphan herself, she personally understands the hardships and difficulties of an
imperfect system that often separates families and leaves broken hearts in its
wake. But, when a scruffy cowboy interferes with her work, she’s forced to
defend her convictions and take a hard look at her life.
MAIL ORDER BRIDE
At age twenty-eight, Sarah Marshall is on the shelf. Long ago she’d set aside
dreams of a husband and children of her own. Family obligations came first –
always. However, when her impulsive younger sister, Eliza, finds herself in a
family way, Sarah is forced to seek marriage to a stranger to protect them
both. How could she know that the dangerous journey to marry one man, would land
her square in the path of another? Or that her future husband is not all he
appears to be?
Haunted by his war years, veteran Confederate soldier Tom
Cooper is summoned home to settle his father’s estate. He intends to do just
that, then return to his bachelor life in Montana before winter sets in. On the
return journey, he comes upon a horrific accident, and his plans take a
temporary detour. An injured woman, her pregnant sister, and a wounded cowboy
desperately need his assistance. Later, a chance meeting leaves him questioning
the security of the women. Can he protect Sarah and her sister without losing
his heart along the way?
All three books are also available individually as ebooks and paperback books - regular and large print.
