Will Hard Work Make Dreams Come True?
Greta would do anything to help her little sister, Astrid, get well, including signing up to be a mail-order bride, and move across the country to marry a stranger. Instead of finding better lives, the two arrive in Fairplay, Colorado, robbed, hungry and exhausted, only to discover her fiancé has died. Now penniless, what will become of them in this small, hopeless place?
Wyatt is coerced into marrying Greta in exchange for secretly getting an investment in his cattle. Greta and Wyatt work hard for the ranch to succeed, and try to live like a family for Astrid’s sake. But every time they make progress, they face almost impossible hardships including someone purposely destroying their cattle to cause them to fail.
If Greta learns the truth of why their marriage took place, will she ever believe Wyatt could have feelings for her? Will Astrid’s worsening health make it impossible for them all to stay together? Does the surprising truth revealed towards the end of the tale break them up despite how they all feel?
Be prepared to be unable to put this book down, every turn of the page will bring more excitement. Exploration of faith in God adds to the reality of the story. This yarn stands alone, however, there is a big cliff hanger leading into the next installment in the series. Those who like tales of the Old West, cowboys and romance will enjoy this 5-star book.
