A credentialed Secondary English teacher in California, she is pursing her MA in Writing Popular Fiction.

These three books in one were very well written and interesting. Two feuding families cause unrest in a small town in Nebraska. Two women who are abandoned by a wagon train are helped by a widowed store owner who lives in a large unfilled home. A young doctor, who is the son of this father, is working with the down and trodden of a large city when he finds a young orphan girl who is running from unsavory men after her sister dies. He brings her to the small town to visit, but they both fall in love with the life there eventually. Several romances form during the sequence of the stories and by the end of the third book, God has solved some dislikes after healing through diversity. In the last book, one of the town men send for a bride by mail and there is a misunderstanding of similar names. Although a time of hurt and irritation evolve, true character wins over ruffled feathers. These books are very worth the reading!
This trilogy is really good! The characters are believable, with witty dialogues. There's a lot of humor, too. I loved the first two books in this trilogy. The third one is okay, but not my favorite... However I still recommend this book as a good read!
A great trilogy with humor and emotion perfectly balanced. It's characters were memorable and the plot captivating. The ending was a perfect example of God's love and perfect timing while wrapping up all the loose ends. This trilogy is definitely worth the read.
