Publisher's summary

Neva Shilling has a heavy load of responsibility while her husband travels to neighboring communities and sells items from his wagon. In his absence, she faithfully runs the Shilling Mercantile, working to keep their business strong as the Depression takes its toll, and caring for their twins.

When a wagon pulls up after supper, Neva and her children rush out - and into the presence of the deputy driving a wagon carrying three young children. The deputy shocks her with the news that Warren and his wife have died, insisting it was their last request that the three children go live with "Aunt Neva". Neva's heart is shattered as she realizes that Warren's month-long travels were excuses for visits with his secret family. She wants nothing more than to forget Warren, but can she abandon these innocent children to an orphanage? Yet if she takes them in, will she ever be able to see them as more than evidence of her husband's betrayal and love them the way God does?

Great book club book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. So many great examples of how "so called Christians" judge their fellow man, if you will. They forget that we are all sinners; none of us is perfect. It also showed the exceptional strength of the main female character. She was the poster child for forgiveness.

Sweet story!

More of a sweet story of love and forgiveness than a romance. I enjoyed it and appreciated the innocence of the story.
