I enjoyed this story, The interaction between the Indians and the Mission were not all prettied up but showed a real struggle and the differences in the cultures.
It has romance but also adventure and suspense,

Anne devotes her energy to Mitchel Banning's mission but she keeps her distance from Mitchel and Hope.
Only Mitchel can show her the joy of a second chance a new beginning and a new family, together.
I loved this book. Great characters, lots of action, a sweetyear old little girl, Two adults who learn to love again, Great

Book!! Not normally a genre I'd pick up, but this one was well written, Set in a mission in the Oregon Territory, this follows the story of a widow, Anne Simm's, and her new life.
Mitchel Banning is a widower with a toddler, Hope, and the child's existence is a source of great pain to Anne as she has also lost a child.


Watching Anne overcome her desire to keep Hope at arms length as she comes to understand that she feels something for Mitchel, was interesting indeed.
The shift from pain to love is well handled, and I don't regret picking up the novel.
The Randolph Family
Book

This is the final book in the Randolph Family saga.
It began with the parents twenty years earlier Justin and Lidia were brother and sister, Both had experienced tragic losses and had to find love again, Two of Justin's stepdaughters had their own stories, then two of Lidia's adopted daughters had their own story.
This last book was about Anne Annie,

Annie traveled on a Wagon Train to Oregon territory with her sister covered in book.
Annie experienced a tragic loss of her husband and daughter, When her brother, William, was no longer able to take the teaching job at the mission, Annie went in her place.
But nobody told her that the minister at the mission, Mitchell Banning, was a widower or that he had a young daughter the same age of what Annie's daughter would be, had she lived.


This book focuses on many things, Annie suffered at first at the sounds of the little girls' cries, The little girl suffered from some illness that was never disclosed, The Indians they were trying to witness to gave them problems, And they needed to see the doctor at the new settlement of Promise,

Mitchell falls in love with Anne through all this conflict, yet he cannot allow a relationship with someone who holds on to her past.

very well written! I'm going to miss hearing about this family, . . Flight read! I did not care for the Mission aspect, but I loved the characters, I wanted to be Anne's friend, .
