As Norah King surveys her family land in Iowa in 1880, she is acutely aware that it is all she has left, and she will do everything in her power to save it–even if that means marrying a man she hardly knows. Days before her wedding, Norah discovers an injured man on her property. Her sense of duty compels her to take him in and nurse him back to health. Little does she realize just how much this act of kindness will complicate her life and threaten the future she’s planned.
Norah’s care does more than aid Quincy Barnes’s recovery–it awakens his heart to possibilities. Penniless and homeless, he knows the most honorable thing he can do is head on down the road and leave Norah to marry her intended. But walking away from the first person to believe in him proves much harder than he imagined.
Rachel Fordham invites you to experience the strength and beauty of love forged in the crucible of hardship in this heartwarming story.
This book is probably the best book that I have read in a long time! I really enjoyed it. I do love historical fiction/romance novels. This one was so well written and really kept you wanting to read more and more. It is the type of book that is hard to put down once you get started. This book is about love, hardship, family, and so much more. I really loved the characters and was almost sad when the book ended. You readers out there know exactly what I mean. I highly recommend this book, even if you don’t think you are the type who likes historical fiction….I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy this one. 🙂
