Book Description:
She ventured west with the man she loved, but in one day her whole world had crumbled around her...
Nineteen-year-old Marty Claridge starts west with her adventurous, boyish husband, Clem, seeking to claim land and hoping for good fortune. But when the venture turns suddenly to tragedy, Marty is left alone with her great loss. And coupled with her grief and heartache is the grim reality that there is no way to return home.
Clark Davis and his little girl, Missie, are also in great need. Clark's wife has died, leaving him to care to Missie and the farm at the same time. His offer to Marty comes with good intention, but will courage and faith be enough to bring them to true love?
First introduced in 1979, LOVE COMES SOFTLY has become a beloved classic in the inspirational fiction category. A generation of readers has laughed and wept and rejoiced with Marty and Clark Davis whose tragic circumstances threw them together on the frontier prairies of the 1800s. More than one million copies of Love Comes Softly have been sold.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is about young widow that marries a man to be a mama for his young child but she finds so much more.

This is book #1 in the Love Comes Softly series. This is an awesome series for which Janette Oke has won numerous awards. Stays strong throught, to the very last book!
Love Comes Softly introduced the characters of Marty and Clark Davis, whose tragic circumstances brought them to a "marriage of convenience" on the frontier prairies during the mid 1800s. The story of how Clark’s patient, caring love mirrored that of the heavenly Father, drawing Marty to faith and to love, has captured the hearts and imaginations of over one million readers on Book One alone!

If you enjoy a romance novel for the romance itself, love slowly being discovered, then this is the book to read. There are no love scenes, but rather a simple, basic love story that touches your heart. I really enjoyed this book and hope to read the other volumes.
Sherri H. (Terrific story about how time and the love of God and man heals you after a terrible tragedy.
I ENJOYED THIS BOOK VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO READING THIS SERIES TOO.
Jeanetta Oke's writting are always great reading to the end. Good book. Quick book to read if you are traveling.
ORA D. (The strange circumstances of this romantic novel will keep you on the edge of your chair until the conflict is resolved and the courage and beauty of true love and deep faith are realized. (from back cover)
My cover looks different from this one, but it's the same book. This is a wonderful story, full of love, Christian growth, and dealing with hard circumstances by meeting them with faith. Not to mention the whole prairie-western thing! :) This book was made into the first of three Hallmark movies and is the first in a series of three books. It's wonderful!
A tragic accident, a grief-stricken young widow, a lonely father and child --- a tender story of two hearts broken by despair finding wholeness through patience, loyalty and faith in God.
This is the story of Marty, a young,vibrant and independent girl of nineteen who travels west with her new husband,seeking adventure and fortune.You will ache with Marty when,in the same way as many of her pioneer sisters,the venture turns to tragedy and Marty is left alone to learn firsthand the lesson of pain,heartache,frustration and anger.
