Log Cabin: Erikka
Erikka Jensen lives in poverty with her father, abusive stepmother, and five little brothers. Worked like a mule, criticized and beaten by her stepmother, and ignored by her beloved father, she has no solace but the neighbor’s weekly quilting bee. She’s determined to earn enough money to escape her harsh life on a prairie farm and move to a big city.
Grieving the death of his wife, Haywood Henry Tate leaves his wealthy Chicago family and moves to Sweetwater Springs, Montana, to pursue his long-held dream of living in the West on his own terms. To learn about farming, Haywood goes to work at the Jensen homestead.
An instant attraction between Haywood and Erikka begins to grow into love. But their goals conflict, and there seems to be no way that they can fulfill their individual dreams and be together.

The best thing I can say about this book is that it was entertaining, but not in the way the author intended.

Would Haywood Henry Tate accept her poverty?
This book is a reminder that diversity, ethnicity and hardships were a large part of life itself in the old west during the late 1800’s. In reading this story, I felt much had not changed and yet large strides have taken place in other areas of our society. The persona that those of color, those of foreign nationalities and those of social-economic differences not only became a huge part of our history but not all diversities were accepted. There are many thoughts in this story-line that are still with us today and not all of them are good. I enjoyed the story of Erikka and her work-worn life growing up and yet her kindness is overwhelming. Thanks for a special day of reading

Love the banter between Erikka and Haywood. Enjoyed Erikka being outspoken. Nice to be caught up on Sweetwater Springs and characters from Montana Sky world.

Three and 1/2 stars
Good ideas. Loved Violet and Flossie. Lots of isolated anger, angst and aggression with unpleasant results and only one sided resolution. Happy ending but the main man is unbelievable and the other few men were so thinly conceived they could have been eliminated. Suggestion: Have a male friend read the male dialogue and thought processes.

This is an interesting historical novel that held my attention. There is no profanity or graphic sexual activity .
Erika has to go through many trying situations on her father's farm. But tolerates the trials with grace. She wants more for herself & is willing to work very hard for that.
I admire her tenacity.
I recommend the book.

Log Cabin: Erikka ( Quilting Bee Brides Book 1)
I was disappointed, the story was slow and diconnected. The hero was too concerned about properity and made him seem arrogant.
