About the author
Linda Ford
212 books361 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.

Cowboy Preacher
This story is of how different people have to learn to get along in this world of overbearing people as well as those who love to make things hard for everyone. The story of rape and hurt by a man who was supposed to be her stepfather, and the verbal abuse by the people who act like they are something they wish they were. The preacher and his wife who run the manse and take in those who need help regardless of who they are. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

Alex and Clara
This is a well written story and the plot was well thought out too. I love the inclusion on previous characters and events. Their is adventure, excitement, bits of humor, romance and the hope of a happily ever after. I sure hope there is at least one one story in this series about the preacher’s son that disappeared years ago and is still missing. Very enjoyable read.

It is Well With My Soul
This is a very emotional healing story. The hero is beyond wonderful. The heroine is struggling with a dark secret that has her broken. I would warn that if you have trouble reading accounts of rape or incest this work may not be for you. However, it does show the process that rape victims go through to forgive themselves and healing only God’s unconditional love will provide.

This was another great story. Clara and Louie were staying with the Kingsleys in the Manse (church home). Alex Keystone was a young preacher, who had come to assist Pastor Kingsley with his duties. Clara and Alex developed feelings for each other but had many obstacles to overcome. You will receive a blessing from this story.

A moving story of tragedy, love, forgiveness and acceptance. Alex arrived to be a second preacher and though he has vowed never to marry, once he met Clara he wasn't sure he would keep that vow. Clara however has a couple of serious secrets she feels will keep them apart forever. Can they get past all the trouble and make a life together?

Another great story
Linda Ford has certainly been blessed by God to be able to write such wonderful and interesting stories, while reminding us of God’s love and faithfulness. You don’t need to be religious to enjoy her stories. They are full of the good things in life as well as the tragic and hardships we all face in life today.

This was another phenomenal western love story like the previous 6 books in this Series and is exceptional with two young people's story of them falling in love forevermore. How great is that in this western romance novel. Thanks for the great read!

Great Series......
I've loved reading Ms Ford's story, it's about the adventures of a young woman who is hiding in on plain sight. The author has gone the extra it's takes to make sure her story contains it all!

Linda always writes a beautiful Christian story.
I have completed another story in the Glory series. With each book there is a lesson learned or helped me in my spiritual life and walk.

This was a great story
This story holds a message for our world today. A message of love for all people, and how God expects us to show His love to all regardless of race, color or creed.

Cowboy Preacher
I am still amazed at the open hearts of the preacher's family, even as adopted girls shared this love. I also liked the fact that love shines through this young preacher. Book 7 continue with suspense and trouble, keeping me reading. 'It is Well With My Soul'.

God's love can heal
Another wonderful story. Linda Ford weaves such great love stories between men and women together. Only she fills the stories with the amazing love of most, God's love.

A story of self forgiveness
Alex helps Clara realize God's forgiveness and unfailing grace and love. His unselfish love and mercy mirror God's unconditional love.

Finding Joy in Tradgity
I found this story compelling. Sometimes loving our selves is hard when we are the object of someone else's sin.

nice short story
It was a good read. My only complaint is it was only 147 pages and the cost didn’t seem worth it.
