About the author

Mischelle Creager writes inspirational historical romances set in the mid-1800s. She’s not sure which she loves more—researching or writing. When she’s not doing one of those two things, she can probably be found reading or baking.

She is a wife whose wonderful husband told her, when he retired several years ago, that he wanted to support her in her writing and took over all the household chores, including sweeping, dusting, and laundry. He even cleans up for her after she bakes! Her son and daughter are always available to help with social media questions.

Mischelle loves to share her historical research and has a website, Under The Attic Eaves, filled with tidbits she’s found in books written in the 19th Century. She also “reprints” a historical magazine, Worbly’s Family Monthly Magazine, filled with items from books and magazines published in the middle of the 1800s.

The struggles that Adam and Nia go through because of Nia's choice to marry Clay break my heart but was written well. The sense of a strong dependable family is present in the MacPherson clan. I disliked how much of a evil man Clay was portrayed to be and I feel that the fire was too easy an ending to a heartbreaking story. I was left with some questions like how Clay blamed Nia for his wife's death when it was hearing that Clay was riding a horse that sent his wife running and how she fell. Also, the fact that Clay was never confronted with all the wrong he did with the accounts and trying to kill Adam and Nia. The lessons I feel the book portrayed was that one does not need to rush into situations based on guilt and the need to trust God with everything that life throws your way.

Great series

I absolutely loved the first book and couldn't put down the second and third book until I had them completely read. This series is so captivating I love the Christian base to the series. It is so nice to be able to read a historical romance that is not filled with sexual content, but is filled with reference to the Lord our God and several bible verses. Simply marvelous and refreshing.
