Wagons West #2
Wagon Train Hope
Differences Collide.
Irene, an unconventional and daring woman, will make sure her family safely crosses the wide fontier and at the end of the journey, she'll find something that allows her to be the person she wants to be. The last thing she needs is a man bound up by dos and don'ts.
Once they get to the Fort, Walt plans to settle down on a nice, quiet ranch and raise cows. He doesn't want drama in his life. And Irene is the embodiment of such- rushing into danger, taking chances. She's certainly not good for a man's peace of mind.
Sparks fly as they clash over their differences. When she goes against his orders, he ends up rescuing her, proving his point. But then she comes to his rescue in a dramatic moment. It could be he is discovering how valuable her bravery is and she is learning to appreciate the security his steadiness offers.
Will this unlikely pair learn that love turns differences into blessings and strengths? Or will a desperate pioneer lady ruin their chances just when it seems they have learned to value each other?

About the author
Linda Ford
214 books368 followersLinda Ford grew up devouring books and making up stories in her head—often late at night when she couldn't sleep. But she hadn't planned to write. Instead, she dreamed of running an orphanage. In a way, that dream came true. She married, had four homemade children, adopted ten and lived (at times, endured) the dream.
Writing first took her to non-fiction human-interest articles for newspapers and eventually a non-fiction book about tuberculosis set in the 1930s and 1940s (Touched By The White Plague). But romance had always been her first love and she turned to writing love stories. She is multi-published in the CBA market.
She lives on a small ranch in Alberta, Canada, where she can see the mountains every day. She and her husband continue to enjoy their children and grandchildren.

Irene and Walt
Irene hated dresses. She loved riding horses, so she wore blue jeans and “cowboy” like shirts, cowboy hat and boots. She hated dresses. Now her mom Marina made her wear a dress to church in town. Out with the wagons mud etc, she wore blue jeans. Walt didn’t mind it because they were always out and about with the oxen. Ox Pulling the wagons, cutting wood, bringing deer fish etc for food, there were many things she did. You will really enjoy this book. You won’t be able to put it down. Enjoy.

Western adventure and God's perfect plan
Our westward Canada trek continues as Gabe's eldest son and Marnie's daughter go from barely tolerant to married throughout the book. God figures prominently as Bible passages, Sunday hymns, and short messages are shared by the wagon train participants. Plenty of adventure and troubles follow them and they have to rely on God to get through it. A wonderful story about a young couple getting together.

Wagon Train Hope
Acceptance is not always easy. Whether you are an independent woman, have a mental issue, or are over protective. This book shows how they can complement each other. Good clean romance.

Love is amazing!
That little vixen!! The nerve, crawling into someone’s bedroll to trap him into marriage. She didn’t even know that man! Thank you Irene!! Loved the part where she snuck into the church with her gun.

A great Linda Ford book.
It had me thinking of my own wedding ceremony 59 years ago. We also had rain and mud. I also had a wonderful man that GOD took last year 3 weeks after 58 happy years together.

Wonderful series!
I have really enjoyed these first two books! A different wagon train style, but the same difficulties and hardships to overcome. Love how the characters turn to the Lord in times of trouble. Great read!

Love this wagon train of hope, love, and blessings as they travel and heal from the past. It’s silly listening to these two knock heads but so joyful when they slowly accept each other as themselves and God as the center.
