Publisher's summary

From the USA Today best-selling author of the Longing for Home series, Valley of Dreams is a new romance novel set in the beloved world of Hope Springs.

Patrick O’Connor has seen far too much of the cruel and unforgiving world. Life has beaten him down relentlessly. Out of hope and out of options, he makes the terrifying and desperate decision to return home to the family he has lied to for years. The family he knows will never forgive him.

Widowed and nearly unable to care for her tiny daughter under the weight of extreme poverty, Eliza Porter jumps at the opportunity to leave behind the slums of New York City for the promise of a new life and a new beginning in the frontier town of Hope Springs.

Fate tosses the two of them together more and more often, while the burden of his tightly-held secrets and the ache of her abandoned dreams pull them further and further apart. Clinging to the whispered possibility of something more than the pain life has offered them thus far will require every bit of hope they can find in this peaceful but precarious valley of dreams.

Entertainment... indeed!

Ms. Eden, your characters were so real and filled with intrigue. Family was epitomised by the wonderful family that had struggles by members but overcame them with a deep love and true devotion to family! Ms. Peterson's performance in bringing them to life was superb! I have listened to it twice and shall keep it handy for frequent repeats! Thank you ever so much for quite the story & performance!

So good!

Oh my gosh this was so good! I love her books! They really pull me in and once I begin I can’t put them down! This one was no different! Loved it!

Beautiful!

Another splendid tale from Eden! I didn’t think I would like this series set in the US as much as the ones that take place in the UK, but this series has touched my heart in a way the other books haven’t. Wonderful!

Please Tell Me There's More to Come!

I've read or listened to this entire series now and I've loved every moment! For me, the Irish dialog connects me to my own Irish ancestry and makes me think of what their lives must have been like. I think also of my mother, who grew up in a log cabin in one of the beautiful valleys of Wyoming. Sara Eden has created such a beautiful blending of the historical struggles with the development of rich characters, each of whom has their own histories to overcome, and she does it all with ease and believability! There are more characters to explore, and I sure hope she takes the time to write their stories as well. If I could, I'd move right into town with them all!

Moving in every way.

Each character has uniqueness, that carries the story from beginning to end. You will not want to put it down.
Thank you, Author, Ms Sarah M. Eden !!!

Another enjoyable story

Wholesome and clean, not afraid to play out loud in my car. All the books in this series fit that bill.

The narrator speaks naturally way too slow for my taste and I’ve found speeding her up to 1.3 makes it much more enjoyable.

I loved every minute of this story!

A beautiful tale of real love, hardship, and never giving up on one‘s dreams. I highly recommend this book!

WOW! Another Beautiful Story w/o Sex and Violence!!

After having listened to all the other books in the series, I was anxious to listen to this latest one. It was worth the wait! I can’t say it was my favorite as they are all my favorite! The author proves that indeed a moving, entertaining, human story can be written without sex, violence, and foul language .. not just once but multiple times!! And Nancy Peterson’s narration is perfect! Her Irish voices are spot on, as well as the American and English, and she is able to switch back and forth seemingly effortlessly. As one other reviewer said, now we will wait for Finnbar’s story.. FINALLY!!!

I loved this book!

I love Sarah M Eden!! All of her books are fantastic! She always writes clean and quality stories.

Lovely western romance

Clean, sweet, and moving. The power of love and forgiveness to overcome difficulties. Excited for the next in the series.
