Enjoyable story with good Christian aspects.
I received a copy of this book from the author. My review is voluntary and unbiased.
Loved the small coal mining town. It was a company store. the story was about the young people marrying andbeginning families. A widow who had a daughter ready to marry had the most shares in this story. She holds her own when the mining company has a collapse and people died. But the best part is her daughter caring for others in time of need
This is another story about the coal mining town in Annie's Creek, South Dakota. A wedding date has been set for Callie and J.D. A tragedy strikes the small town.
I received a free ARC, and this is my honest opinion.
