The harsh realities of life serve as the foundation for three heart-tugging historical stories of love, lost and love found. Emma, desperate to keep the child she vowed to raise for a dying friend, finds herself in the market for a mail-order husband. Beth's heart is pierced with anxiety when the uncle of her deceased fiancé's two young children, an inveterate wanderer, comes to claim the only family he has left. Darcie encounters the nephew of her father's killer and faces unforgiveness and hatred in the hidden recesses of her own heart. Three women, three stories, three opportunities for glorious and surprising twists from the hand of God.

These stories came out in the early 2000s and are still great Christian romances with a western flavor. Janet Lee Barton crafts her stories and characters with skill and sensitivity, always keeping you in the characters' shoes. Roswell, New Mexico in the late 1890s serves as the location, and is described as a young western community with the usual components: cafes, saloons, a railroad, city hall, general store, hotel, and boardinghouses. Credible protagonists and villains push the action forward to a satisfying conclusion in each story. Read and enjoy!

So many of these compilations, even when based in the same town, ignore characters from the other books in the series. Not so this one. The main characters from all 3 stories pop up in each other's stories.

It was easy to read and follow. Not the best romance book but at least its story was interesting.
