Resumen del Editor

Unemployed mill worker Zoe Hart jumps at the opportunity to emigrate to British Columbia in 1863 to find a better life and be reunited with her brother, who fled from home after being accused of a crime.

Pastor to miners in the mountains, Abe Merivale discovers an abandoned baby during a routine visit to Victoria and joins efforts with Zoe, one of the newly arrived bride-ship women, to care for the infant. While there, he's devastated by the news from his fiancee in England that she's marrying another man.

With mounting pressure to find the baby a home, Zoe accepts a proposal from a miner of questionable character after he promises to help her locate her brother. Intent on protecting Zoe and frustrated by his failed engagement, Abe offers his own hand as groom. After a hasty wedding, they soon realize their marriage of convenience is not so convenient after all.

Learning to follow God's plan

Zoe wants to find her brother who had been falsely accused for a crime in his homeland. He was free now, and she needed to find him and let him know. When Pastor Abe sees that Zoe is about to marry an evil man, he tries to stop her. Since he had just received a letter from his fianceé informing him that she has married someone else, he is heart broken and confused. He saves Zoe from marriage to criminal by marrying her himself. Will the two find love?

This is such a beautifully told story. You cannot help but fall in love with both Zoe and Pastor Abe. The love and kindness for others that they share is beautiful to witness. At the same time, they wrestle with their feelings for each other. Once I began listening to this novel, it was hard to stop.

Thoroughly Engaging Read

This story was hard to stop listening to with the historically interesting detail which was based on true events. The characters were real and instantly felt like friends. It was a great reminder that often God brings unexpected blessings when we commit our future to Him. Enjoyed the narrator very much also.

Wonderful

Such a wonderful story. A young lady arrives to look for her brother and finds so much more. Another great story and narration!

Truly one of my favorite reads this summer

I love the characters, their interactions, the storyline, and this was a fun read! Multi dimensional, and an interesting story told in away that never felt preachy. Loved it!

Sweet Romance without being vulgar

I love this author. this book was my favorite of the 3 in this series. I love the romance, that is clean, but still steamy. I really felt what the characters were going through. This is a great listen, with a great message.

God's stories through a willing writer.

I really love this series of books. The stories offer me God fearing stories and the rural adventure I have loved. As a divorced, disabled, country, Christian Woman your stories give me great pleasure. I will be anxiously waiting for more of your exceptional writing. May God bless you.
