Publisher's summary

Twenty-six-year-old Katie Macauley has placed all her hope in Hope Springs, a small town in the 1870 Wyoming Territory. But if she wants to return home to Ireland to make amends with her estranged family, she’ll need to convince the influential Joseph Archer to hold true to his word and keep her on his payroll as his housekeeper - despite her Irish roots. The town is caught in an ongoing feud between the “Reds” - the frontiersmen who would rather see all the Irish run out of town and the Irish immigrants who are fighting to make a home for themselves in the New World.

When Joseph agrees to keep Katie on ash is housekeeper, the feud erupts anew, and Katie becomes the reluctant figurehead for the Irish townsfolk. As the violence escalates throughout the town, Katie must choose between the two men who have been vying for her love - though only one might be able to restore hope to her heart.

Clean story. Kept my interest

it is so refreshing to listen to a novel and know that I will not be assaulted with foul language profanity or unwanted sex scenes. This would have been five stars except that the author tried so hard to get the reader to dislike the very character that the heroine ends up choosing, that it was hard to get the this reader to be glad about the ending.

One of the best!

The narrator is absolutely amazing for this novel. The story made me laugh, cry, smile, and laugh some more. Excited to move onto book 2 and discover more about the characters ofHope Springs.

Very Entertaining

This was a good, entertaining book. It dragged on at times, but it was worth it. The characters and setting was well thought out. I would recommend this book.

love it

I loved it. I can't wait to read the rest. It made me realize just how heated racism was in the 1800's.

Be still my heart

Simply wonderful with so much feeling. It is heartbreaking what the immigrants went through. So much hope coming to America and then prejudice here.
The story kept me captive from the first and the narrator was truly perfect! Cannot wait to listen to the next in the series!
