A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Faith (Brides of the West #1) - Lori Copeland

I got this one for free.  I have read Lori Copeland a few times and figured I might be safe with this one.  I wasn't disappointed!

Faith and her sisters, Hope and June, answer ads in a newspaper to become mail order brides.  Faith is on her way to Texas, where Nicholas awaits her.  When she arrives on a donkey, it's an omen of how things are going to go.  She's a tomboy who hates housework and would rather be out working the ranch with her husband.  He doesn't like that idea and encourages her to be something else.

There's also some major issues with their wedding.  It gets delayed one too many times and may not happen at all!  Nicholas and his overbearing, nasty mother have problems with feelings and this ends up affecting Faith when she finally thinks that she has discovered a way to be useful to the town.

I enjoyed this book.  I'll probably end up watching some of the others.  In addition to Hope and June, there is also Glory, Ruth and Patience.  Not sure who they are, but maybe I'll find out if the price drops!  Good Book!
