Grace knows her brother Sam, left her in the orphanage for noble reasons—so she would be adopted. And she was. Her adoptive family is kind and loving. But she’s never forgotten her brother. He has written to her regularly, his letters full of wonderful descriptions of the ranch and the people there. She heads to the Circle A and her first reunion with her brother in seven years.
Sam is away getting a horse when news comes that his sister is arriving. Adam’s heart thumps hard. The letters Grace has received all these years were written by Adam. What is he going to do? He knows he can’t reveal the truth until he can talk to Sam. In the meantime, he means to show Grace the country he has told her so much about and enjoy the company of the young woman he has grown very fond of through their correspondence.
Sam returns and Adam insists on Sam telling the truth. But when Grace learns the truth she is hurt and angry. Everything she thought was true is not. Can’t she trust anyone? She flees to her childhood home. When Adam discovers her whereabouts and comes after her, is she ready to hear the truth that he has fallen in love with her while he was writing to her? Is she willing to trust the feelings that have been growing in her heart?

About the author
Linda Ford
211 books360 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.

Adam
A sweet western romance. Adam lives in Western Canada on a cattle ranch with the couple who took in him and his brother, Noah, after their father died and his mother quickly remarried. Their stepfather threw them off the family farm and left them to make their own way. Now both of the boys are grown and Noah has married. They still live and work on the Circle A Ranch with John and Maude, the people who had saved him and Noah and taught them what it meant to be part of a family again.
Another of Maude and John’s boys, Sam, had been orphaned at a young age. He had set off with Maude and John to work on their ranch leaving his younger sister, Grace, behind at the orphanage in the hope she would be adopted by a good family. His hopes had come true but Grace and he had stayed in touch. Then one day Grace arrives for a visit and Adam is smitten by the beautiful young woman. But he and Sam are harboring a secret. When she finds out will she forgive them? Will she return his feelings? Will she ever be his?

Everlasting love.
He was only trying to help his friend but it turn out to be so much more. She just wanted to see her brother again after so many years. Sam and Grace’s parents had died but Sam could not take care of her so she when to an orphanage. Luck would have it she was adopted and very much loved but a part heart belonged to Sam. She was thrilled when she received letters from Sam what she did not know was that it was Adam who wrote the letters. This is a tale about good intentions, it backfired a bit, but in the end love and forgiveness won out. I liked the book it was a good story, easy to read, with very likeable characters this is a book I am happy to recommend. I did receive a free copy of this book from Hidden Gems and voluntarily chose to review it.

Loved the story of Adam and Grace
It seems Adam’s relationship was built on a secret he was afraid to share with her. It was a great read from start to finish, but there were several long passages describing scenery that has previously been described in the first books in the series. As much as I enjoyed this story I found myself skipping passages to get back to the main story. I liked all the characters in the story and I’m
glad that the author keeps the characters from
Her earlier books in the current story. It keeps
it interesting and makes it easier to relate to the story. So
now I’m going to read the next book in this series.

Overtly Christian story with great characters. Adam chooses not to tell Grace that he wrote the letters, that she frequently refers to He chooses to wait for Sam to arrive. In the mean time, he shows her around.
Everything fell into place easily for them, once they got the point where they'd allow it. So the struggles were internal for this couple. They were surrounded by kind, helpful people that gave them the space they needed to work things out.

Beautiful story of God's loving care
Linda Ford always delivers a God honoring story that never disappoints. "Adam" is the latest book following the lives of six boys taken in by a loving couple in western Canada due to differing circumstances. Each book has shown God working in each life for good. If you enjoy books that speak of faith and hope, you will love reading this one.

Favorite of series
I have really enjoyed the Circle A books.
It doesn’t take blood relations to make a family. They have created a strong family bond on the ranch with John and Maude.
Adam was specifically about unintentional deceit. The storyline was good. So far, it is my favorite.

Gracie
Cyrano de Bergerac without the big nose. Adam was writing the non love letters to Sam's sister because Sam was not good with words to describe where and how he lived.
Love bloomed like beautiful wildflowers and finally Adam and Gracie will live happily ever after.
Thank you Linda Ford for another well written Western love story.

Adam
Another great book in this series about young boys becoming young cowboys and husbands. The Circle A brought six young boys too the far and trained them to become young responsible men. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

Truth
Is the best road to travel. Even half truths are still lies. Adam felt so guilty the last year or so signing Sam’s name to the letter he was writing for Sam to his sister. Adam knew she would mad when she found and oh she was. Another Awesome book on this series.

Adam
Would his deceit keep them apart? She travels to find her brother after seven years. His letters have encouraged her and helped her through hard times. But he didn't write them. Good clean romance.

Deception breeds mistrust
Adam writes letters to Grace but she thinks it’s from her brother Sam. She arrives to see her brother and figures out Sam couldn’t have written the letters. She feels betrayed and takes awhile to resolve it.

Letters to Encourage
Even letters can bring joy and happiness when you learn who the true writer is. Helping a friend out is a good thing but never let it go too far. Especially when it is family believing the letters are from you.

Good, clean story
I liked that the family tried to be good and keep in touch with each other. There is some misunderstanding but with communication they understand.
