Wagon Train Redemption
Secrets have the power to destroy. Love has the power to heal.
Angela is grateful to be able to leave her painful past and never wants to deal with it again. When Carson suggests a marriage of convenience- a partnership- she grasps at the idea. This arrangement means she doesn't have to tell him everything. Though she longs for love, she knows the truth of her past makes that impossible.
Carson, a former Mountie, has dreams of having a home and family. He's always wondered if the rejection he's encountered was soley because of his mentally challenged brother...or was it because of him? He and Angela will do well as partners. It's all he needs. Love is too risky.
But when he learns of her past will the partnership dissolve or will these two admit what's in their hearts? And learn that love overcomes fears?

About the author
Linda Ford
214 books367 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.

wonderful series
I followed this family across Canada. They faced adversity, danger, fire, floods and so many personal struggles. Those same struggles plague many in today’s society. To be accepted just as you are without prejudice. Exciting series highly recommended! Faith in God and strength of character and love that runs deeper than a river.

November 15, 2024Carson and Angela
Angela has something from her past, something she doesn't want any of her adopted Woods family to know about her.
When her Father does three years after her mother only Ma and Pa Woods knew her secret, they took her in when she was fourteen they said she was safe with them and her past was just that the past.
Pa Woods dies so Ma and her family decide to head to Western Canada to where her son has served a Montie with the NWMP.
Before he left home Carson Woods had told his father in no uncertain terms that bringing Angela into their home was a mistake, no one knew she had over heard those hurtful words and with Carson away for the past three years she had been able to let the mean things people had said to her and about her be pushed to the back of her memory.
Now she is coming face to face with her adopted brother who thinks she's a mistake.
Can Carson see she has changed. He insists he doesn't remember saying anything mean about her and began for her to forgive him,but he asks to many questions about her past. If the truth came out it might not just be Carson who would want nothing to do with her but the test of his siblings as well.

What a wonderful conclusion to this series. Linda has woven the characters into a beautiful blending of the Woods and Miller families during their journey West. Her portrayal of Bertie, a big man with a child’s mind, is so loved and protected by everyone. They beautifully accept his disabilities and embrace his fierce loyalty and love for his family and his beloved animals. Stories about pioneers making the trek West seeking a better life have always intrigued me due to their determination and resilience. This book, like the other five, witnesses the family facing many dangers along the way but also tells of the love story between Angela and Carson. Past hurts plague Angela and get in the way of her thinking her dream of being accepted will ever be realized. However, as in all of the couples who found love on the trail, they are able to conquer the obstacles that threaten to keep them apart. Their faith in God, dedication to family and strength of character shines through and makes the reader so glad they grew to know and love this amazing family.

Angie had been taken in by a loving family when her father died.
At fourteen Angie’s lat parent passed on. The Woods a family that were friends with her father had asked her to join them as an extra child of their loving family. Her new father said she could leave her past behind if that was her choice. So she began again and became a new loved family member to all but Carson. Even that became a forgotten item as he left to join the Mounties. She didn’t see him again for years as she grew up and gained her place with the expanded family. When they saw each other again it brought back all the fears of rejection she had as a child.

Carson and Angela
This is the last in this great series. Each person in this tale has had some heart ache, some fears, and desire to find true love. Carson is the Eldest son of the family and Angela is the youngest, although not a blood born child, but taken in as an orphan. Carson and Angela each have their secrets and are fearful the feeling they have for each other will cause pain and heartache. You will enjoy discovering how they find their happily ever after. I recommend reading this series.

Redeemed!
Angela and Carson find common ground and agree to a marriage partnership. A letter is waiting for her at the fort with an inheritance from her father but it brings up a sore subject for Angela. She was born out of wedlock (yes many women are by definition bastards). Her mother marries the man she knows as father but she is shielded from the gossips by staying on the farm. Carson takes off to think and Angela heads for the stagecoach thinking he will never want her. You need to get this book and read the ending.

I enjoyed the book! Angela always felt rejected due to her past. Carson dreamed of a home and family. Carson and Angela agreed to a marriage of convenience. But would he reject her once he found out about her past? I highly recommend reading this book!

Family moves on.
I have read all the books in this series. It is wonderful to see how old friends can come together to forge a new life. Along the way learn to accept others and their differences. Mostly with understanding and love. God's love!

The end of a really good series
This is the final book of six, everyone of which I really enjoyed. They depict historical romance at its best, with a generous sprinkling of Scripture and Godly wisdom.

Wagon West series of books (6)
All six books kept you hungry to read the next page. Mrs. Ford does an excellent job of feeding that hunger. These books take place in Canada instead of the old West but they still faced the same danger s.

Wagon Train Redemption
This story was about a family traveling across country in wagons, going to a new place. Their son, a Mountie, had been living there, owned a house there. Carson fell in love on that wagon train with a young lady named Angelia. This story tells of the burdens people Caryand and truly must find a place to lay them down. Enjoy.
