I'm not one to read love stories, because these were based on christian values I gave it a try. Much to my surprise I was hooked immediately. Very well written; I was drawn into each character feeling each of their emotions. I will read more of her work as it presents itself to me. One thing I would have found more interesting was a change of story line for each new book and a different message, otherwise it was a good book.

Born and raised in Minnesota I read anything with the word Minnesota in the title. Love reading about the prairie days.
