Life on a farm isn’t always the most exciting. Even if you love the wide open spaces, the closeness of a large family and a variety of work to do, part of you can still feel like going into the big wide world and checking things out.
This is Esther Weaver’s dilemma. She likes being part of the ever-growing Weaver clan and helping her ma in the kitchen, and looks forward to marrying and having children of her own. But over the last few years, she’s become fascinated with something that’s not only turned her head but is driving everyone else crazy …
… politics.
Never mind that it’s still 1896 and nineteen-year-old Esther isn’t even allowed to vote. She can’t get enough of reading about party struggles, elections, labor battles and revolutions. But everyone around her has had enough of listening to her talk about them. Her parents despair of ever finding her a mate who can put up with it – and some days, so does she.
Until one day a speaker comes to town – and gets beaten up for saying what someone doesn’t want to hear. Marshall Meagher, “famed orator of the East,” is laid up for two weeks with his injuries. Esther’s parents, wanting to help him out, let Esther volunteer to aid the local doctors. And suddenly she has someone who’ll not only listen, but agree with her and tell her more than she knew.
Could they become more than that? It seems unlikely – Marshall is a traveling man who’s seen the whole nation. Esther is just a country girl who’s never been more than a day from home and family. But unlikely things happen in Nowhere, Washington and the Weaver farm all the time. And sometimes it takes the unlikeliest events to put everyone where they need to be …
Regardless of your politics, you’ll love ESTHER, the latest book in the smash Romancing the Weavers series. Get ready for a wild ride!
I have been a fan if the Weavers since they were introduced in Holiday Bride series. I disliked this one because they talked if politics. Don't we have enough diversity in real life? I read to get away from things like politics. Also, several times he got the relationship of characters wrong. It seemed to have big words you never heard of just to be wordy. And you never hear the young doctor stating his feelings for Esther. And why isn't Matthew Quinn putting his medical training to use? All in all, I didn't look forward to this book or enjoyed it. I read it to say I have. Will definitely not be reading again. I'm sorry, this was a huge disappointment.
You do not need to be politically aligned in all ways with the heroine of the sweet story to fall in love with her. Great character development and introductions to future characters in series without messing with story.
I am so glad there are so many Weaver kids!! I love this continuation of the original Nowhere books. The HEA in this one is terrific. I surely do recommend it to anyone who loves romances.
I wasn't sure as I read what I would think of the politics being put forth in this book but in the end I agreed with exactly what was talked about and really liked this book to the end!!
This is a wonderful story! Esther Weaver became a nurse to Marshal Meagher who was beat up in an argument after his speech. Within two weeks she fell in love with him, married him and went off to become an orator with him.
Marshall - a political orator that was beat up for his opinion. Esther- Daniel's oldest daughter and played nurse for Marshall. I enjoyed reading this engaging story that is well written with charismatic characters. Their story has a speedy but loving HEA.
