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.
