 Sigh! September 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have no qaulms about admitting that I am a hopeless romantic. I'm also the type of person that likes pretty landscapes, good old fashioned values, and all the light and love inbetween. These books really hit the spot, and the first few of this collection are divine.
The story begins with two unlucky partners who wed for convenience: a pregnant widow and a widower trying to raise a daughter on his own. They're out in the plains struggling to survive, so why not get married for the security?
But alas, in comes the romance and this little family grows closer and closer.
The series continues as the family grows, with a variety of well-rounded characters and plots that get at that slightly dramatic spot I can't help but love.
They're quietly written with beautiful, simple descriptions and lots of reference to God, faith, and spirituality.
 I like the movie better. August 16, 2008
My only real complaint about the book is that the author chose to provide the characters with an unintelligent sounding dialect, making them sound like the Beverly Hillbillies. Perhaps the writer, as a Canadian, felt that it would add to the rural sense of the location, but I feel that it detracted from the characters. The movie portrayed Marty as a very well read woman and both Marty and Clark were portrayed in a more intelligent light. I also feel that the God/Christian theme of the book was heavy handed, and was handled better in the movie version. Although the book is good in it's own way, it is very different from the movie.
Great!!!!! June 13, 2008
I thought that the books where wonderful!!! I loved them, great story line, and plot. Love it!!!
Excellent Reading May 30, 2008
I've loved the Hallmark Movies and now am reading the books. The print size makes them easy reading and who would not enjoy a Janette Oake story. Amazon pricing also makes them a excellent value.
awesome April 7, 2008
these books are so wonderful, and makes you feel like you are in the book itself.
