Julia Cavanaugh has never left New York City.
But in 1890, the young woman must head west to ensure that the orphans under her care are settled into good families. After her final stop in Montana, she plans to head straight back east. But upon arriving in the remote town of Lonesome Prairie, Julia learns to her horror that she is also supposed to be delivered—into the hands of an uncouth miner who carries a bill of purchase for his new “bride.” She turns to a respected circuit preacher to protect her from a forced marriage, but with no return fare and few friends, Julia’s options are bleak. What is God’s plan for her in the middle of the vast Montana prairie?
My take:~
Renowned author Tricia Goyer and her long time editor Ocieanna Fleiss, have combined their talents to write a tender romance about a hard working orphan and a circuit preacher determined to keep his vow to God not to marry. The writing is seamless, without any of the disjointedness often present with collaborations, and the tale is abounds with adventure, humour, attraction and spirituality. Love Finds You in Lonesome Prairie, Montana is expertly written with engaging characters and spiritual depth which will appeal to all who crave a traditional Christian historical romance. This is one collaboration that will stand the test of time and have readers asking for more.
