While praying in a tree one day, she observes a fight, and gets involved. Then she ends up travelling out West to Kansas to look after a small boy for a surly farmer. It's all a bit predictable for American prairie-style light Christian fiction, but a pleasant read with well-rounded and believable characters. I got this free from Amazon for the Kindle. Spoilers abound. It is a moving book about a young woman raised in an orphanage and now working there for her keep who joins a man and his kid on a voyage to Kansas to build a home on the prairie. The story is pretty rudimentary but the details are interesting. The emotional blockages weren't very well drawn so some of the interpersonal stuff stalled; and the neighbor without much English was pretty dull. But it is a classic parable: the young woman works harder than anybody and glorifies God in her work, and all ends up right for her. Work is an interesting subject. Here she draws on the Horatio Alger heritage, the rewards of honesty and plain hard work. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Seth Hunter was deserted by his father and is now having to raise a son he barely knows and fears that getting close to him would bring heartache all over again if he should lose him, like he did his wife. So he lets Rosie come and work for him and take care of his son (but she has to sleep in the barn).
But Rosie, and her faith in her heavenly Father, is a hard person not to like. She will definitely make life interesting for Seth, but in the end love will prevail. This was a good story, and takes you back to life on the prairie and the many hardships that folks lived with and went through. A really liked how the town called Hope came about. Looking forward to reading the rest of the stories in this series. ( )
