I absolutely loved this book.It is about a group of women who believe they are heading to a town for prime homesteading. Many are widows but some are just plain running. What the women don't know is that they are being lied to and are being brought to a town in hopes of their accepting marriage...
This book was cute. It wasn't quite what I expected.

How had that happened? She looked back up at him. The goatee he had been nursing along for the past f...
She cleared her throat—just a little louder than usual. She didn’t want to be rude, but she couldn’t sleep, and if Minnie would only wake up, maybe between the two of them they could solve some of the problems swirling around in Irma’s mind. Minnie stirred, then snuggled deeper beneath the peach-...
She hurried out front. The eastern sky was a fabulous shade of orange, and for a while the approaching wagon and the team pulling it were little more than a black silhouette. It wasn’t Luther, but the closer the wagon got, the more it piqued Annie’s curiosity. The team were smaller than any draft...
