Kansas

Kansas #1-2

by Tracie Peterson, Judith McCoy Miller

Surviving the harsh prairie elements - like surviving the storms of the heart - takes faith and determination, which four young women need to prove they possess. Can their hearts hold fast against the gales that buffet them? Will they find love waiting at the end of the storm? Death has often visited the people Amy Carmichael loves, and she has learned surviving a hostile land means never looking Beyond Today. But that could change when she meets the new circuit-riding preacher...if he can see past Amy's vivacious twin. Reared by an aunt and trapped in an arranged marriage, Jessica Albright has never known true love. Now alone in the world, she assumes her father's place as owner of The House on Windridge, determined to give her infant son a good life. But it won't be easy, as someone seems to be against her. Delphinia Hughes has been forced from her home and into the role of nanny for five orphaned children. Threads of Love bind her to precious memories. Could they also tie her to a new family? Tessie Wilshire has Woven Threads of faith and family into her secure life, but now, as a doctor, she is going where few women have dared to travel. When two men vie for her attention, how will she determine the path she should take? Love on the Kansas prairie is hard and unpredictable...but also as inevitable as an early summer cyclone. Watch in wonder as God turns the storms of life into seasons of growth and joy.

I have a paperback copy of Kansas, which I plan to discard in favor of reading the eBooks galleys The House on Windridge and Threads of Love / Woven Threads. These include Beyond Today (pen name) and The House On Windridge, as well as, Threads Of Love and Woven Threads respectively.

Excellent

I really liked the first and third story in this book. The second story was a little harder to get through, mainly because I didn't like the main female character and the love story went from couldn't stand each other to madly in love in two pages. The fourth started off strong but towards the end the plot and character development started to drift and feel a little forced. Overall the two stories I did like made this a fairly enjoyable read.

There are four short religious/romance stories. I actually liked Judith Miller's more than Tracie Peterson's, but I thought they were good quick reads.

I love all these books set in One state over a period of decades and seeing how the Familes grow and intertwine!

Loved this book. I love reading about pioneers of the west and mid-west. This is the second time I have read this one. I am a fan of Tracie Peterson and hope you are also.
