My mom recommended this novel to me, and it was a fairly simple but satisfying romance with a light historical setting. The pacing was leisurely and the story often sweet. There were some grammatical and copyediting errors in the book—not a ton, but I did notice some (laid instead of lay, missing quote marks, etc.). The abandoned-baby plotline was interesting, although it was easy to figure out the identity of the birth mother. Terrence, the male love interest, didn’t seem to have any flaws, and was portrayed as a patient, hard-working, emotionally supportive man—he even changed messy diapers without protest! Overall, I found the story a nice change from the darker thriller or apocalyptic YA I’ve been reading. The Christian elements were super light, with occasional references to God and going to church.

Great story!
Just a tiny miracle can change a life in case perhaps two. Finding a babe was not something Summer had ever expected yet it did. What will she do and will she allow the doctor to help? Dr. Terrence Swanson came to Texas because he wanted to help people little did he know that fate had something up its sleeve. This book was extra special and I was so moved by it. The writing is excellent, the characters are realistic and wonderful, and the challenges the characters face were so well done. High praise for this piece I highly recommend the book.

This is a great story of love and triumph over life's challenges! Summer thinks she cannot depend on anyone, ever and I love how that thought gradually changes with the help, support and love of Terrence. He is patient and kind in teaching her a different way of thinking. Of course the sweet baby in the story helps too! Some scary situations as the baby may be taken from her. What an exciting, thoughtful, wonderful book! A joy to read!

Great Read
A great book of a loving community that comes together to take care of their own. There were some surprising twists to the story, however, it was to bring about the most loving and caring ending...especially for best friends and marriage. Great job.

Loved This Story
I love stories of strong pioneer women who are excelling through hard work and determination not to mention strong support. This main character is just such a woman that becomes stronger and happier with the support of a good man.

I didn’t find this to evoke a time period, something I really want in an historical novel. In its way it is sweet but a little simplistic
