A woman in a desperate situation whose situation gets even more desperate! This was not my favorite in the Love Finds You series, but very readable.

I didn't realize until I finished the book that Tracey Cross is Tracey Bateman, one of my favorite authors. Her's were some of the first CF I started reading several years ago. I did get a little tired of Jane's stubbornness. She wanted to do the right thing, but couldn't see the evil in others. That led to a lot of heartaches, but she never quit praying for God to save her and her children from the awful situation she was in. Franklin was a true hero, always trying to do the right thing. That didn't keep him from plenty of troubles himself.

Jane is a new widow left with her fiver year old son and a baby in her womb. She is left with debt from her husband. A man named Franklin Lloyd says he now has ownership of all that she has, which brings out her stubborn streak. She will pay off the homestead debt so she can live on the land she worked herself, as her lazy dead husband did nothing. It was her land. She would not give it up easily! She heads out to work as a freighter. Not too many women take up such a job. She meets a man who seems to be intrigued by her longing to work hard and hires her. However, this man has more in mind for her regardless of the warnings that Mr. Lloyd has told her.
Various things about this book that are interesting to me. This definitely shows how human trafficking could have been insanely real in the late 1800s. You will read a lot of things that will make you mad in regards to situations. I think that was well done. However, this was predictable in the first chapter of figuring out what would happen. Also the ending was too fast.
There is also a struggle shown with faith in Mr. Lloyd throughout the book and I don't think they tackled the situation well enough at the end of it. It seemed to be a little poorly done with the ending, is all. It was enjoyable otherwise.
