Publisher's summary

Elizabeth, the cultured young schoolteacher from the East, has braved the Western frontier and spent a year teaching in a one-room schoolhouse. Now, she and Wynn are planning their wedding and their new life together at his outpost in the far North. While Wynn is accustomed to life in the North, Elizabeth is not. Can their love for each other sustain them through a harsh winter, loneliness, and rigors of life without any of the conveniences they're used to?

Book two of the best-selling Canadian West series, now with a popular TV adaptation on The Hallmark Channel.

Wonderful story

As a fan of the show, I decided to listen to this between TV seasons. The story was wonderful! Though different from the show in terms of storyline, it was wonderful to learn the inspiration for the show. It was so good that I couldn’t put it down. I finished this one in record time.

I loved "When Comes The Spring"

I loved reading this book. It's so much different than the movie and the TV series. I do like the books much better.

Sweet Respite!

Man oh man! this was a great read/ listen. Janette Oke is a master writer. Having known of her for years I just could not appreciate her talent until just now. Her writing is clean. No pointless use of foul language, Oke uses her words. No inappropriate sexually explicit scenes, Oke conveys passion through the realistic development of the character and story. I tell you, though difficult to put down, I rest so much better when I finally close my eyes for the night. Her mastery of the storytelling art is a wonder to be wrapped up in and I, for one, am so very grateful to Ms. Oke for the opportunity to be whisked away to the land of imagination but with sufficient reality to convey enough realism. The narrator is, as we say in Jamaica, Boss!!! She is so very good at telling the story with the right inflections. Loved this book! Absolutely loving the series!!!

Loved it!

The story was well written, tasteful and enjoyable. It's hard to find books that don't have things that a Christian would not want to listen to. God is at the center of their lives and the hardships they experience in this love story is the foundation of their survival!

Good!

Good wholesome story. Seems historically accurate and held my interest. Wish I knew what year it was set in.

Loved it!

Good story. I really enjoyed listening to this book while I did house work or driving in the car by myself. The narrator kept the story alive with the different voices and accents. I’m excited to start book 3.
