Determined, often naive, Rachael Rothburn wants to go west
to share the gospel with the Umatilla Indians. Alas, declared a spinster at the
ripe old age of 22, the mission board won't entertain her application because
they only take married couples.
Dr. Jonathan Wheaton wants to make a name for himself and
follow in his grandfather's footsteps. When he learns the pretty Senator's
daughter yearns to become a missionary, he approaches her father with a
marriage proposal.
Will two proud, insecure people survive the rigors of the
trail and someday have a loving marriage?
The author is new to me, but I'd heard positive things about her
stories. She did a good job making me care about the characters and grounding
me in the setting. I'm giving this story 5 Stars for courage and romance.
