Elizabeth “Lizzie” Westford is a determined young widow trying to manage her late husband’s Texas cattle ranch after he is killed by a bull. Then, an old boyhood friend of her husband's arrives. Buford “Buck” Hannigan has always considered himself a wandering soul, with the call of the open wild more attractive than the idea of staying tied down. But the heart of the itinerant former gambler-turned-cowboy--and sometimes preacher--feels a tugging toward Lizzie that neither can deny and he steps up to help the widow. After a quick wedding to prevent talk of impropriety, he learns one of Lizzie’s secrets, and the open road calls to him once again.

Good Story about what Was often a True Life Situation
I get the impression from some of the reviews this book was put on pre-order with an incomplete manuscript and the author accidentally missed the deadline to upload the complete book.
The book was complete when I read it. It was a very good story with only a few minor errors. The characters were well-written and realistic. The situation w one that I'm sure many people faced during the time period this story took place. The book ended on a hopeful note as the main characters experienced feelings of thanksgiving after the recent trials in their lives.
Other than the overview and Thanksgiving Books and Blessings book list, this content is empty. Disappointing to be sure. An update is needed to give access to the actual content of the book
This was a cute little story. I would have hated to marry for convenience or in name only, but this is one decision that I thought was really wise, even though it happened the way it did. Very nice!
