Faith Frisbee is a young woman with many boys! She 'picks up strays' along the way, willing to give love to any child who needs it. Joe Condie is a rough and tumble farmer who is unwilling to let Miss Frisbee go on with out the help of a man. He goes out of his way to do things for her, simply to be kind, and she is anything but receptive. Used to doing things on her own, she is at first unwilling to accept the help. As time goes one, Faith warms up to Joe and he learns why she is the way she is. With good cause, Faith has lost Faith in men, and has decided to go it alone. As Joe persists, she begins to fall in love with him. Together, they face many more challenges on the road to marriage and happiness. I liked this overall, but I didn't find it quite believable that pretty much any man besides Joe would try to help Faith just to try to "tumble" her. I mean, I can believe some men would be like that, but really, no one else from Faith's church would help, just for the sake of being neighborly or charitable? I was just so skeptical on that part of the story that it would kinda jolt me out of my reading and enjoying the rest of the book as much as I would've liked.
What do You think about Beyond The White River (2012)?
I loved this book, but I wish the author did more with the end.
