Deborah and Lizzie are the heroines of this book with Christopher and G.W. the heroes. We begin the book with Deborah talking to Lizzie at her wedding. Lizzie is unhappy and only getting married to irritate her mother. Deborah and Lizzie's father convince her to go back to the logging operation that Deborah's family runs. G.W. meets them at the train station, thinking that he is simply picking up his sister from school in Philadelphia and meets a girl in a wedding dress.
Arriving in Perkinville, Texas, Deborah feels that now she is educated, she can only be happy with an educated man and starts doubting herself and feeling like a snob. She meets Christopher, a doctor that has been hired to heal the sick in the town, and feels a kinship with him. He has obligations to his huge family and so does Deborah, so they fight their feelings for each other.
I liked this book. The relationships end up in a tolerable way with enough drama to make you wonder what is going to happen next. For instance, will Lizzie's angry mother and jilted fiance make another appearance or will his new wife take away his need for revenge on Lizzie? Will Deborah fulfill her dreams of becoming to truly educated person that she wants to be, or will something happen to put her dreams in jeopardy?
Book 2 in the series is called Hearts Aglow and book 3 is Hope Rekindled. It seems that Deborah is the recurring main focus with others mixed in. The other books seems to add emphasis to her brother, Rob, and her mother. These have been on my watch list and will remain there. Good book!
