About the book:
As Norah King surveys her family land in Iowa in 1880, she is acutely aware that it is all she has left, and she will do everything in her power to save it--even if that means marrying a man she hardly knows. Days before her wedding, Norah discovers an injured man on her property. Her sense of duty compels her to take him in and nurse him back to health. Little does she realize just how much this act of kindness will complicate her life and threaten the future she's planned.
Norah's care does more than aid Quincy Barnes's recovery--it awakens his heart to possibilities. Penniless and homeless, he knows the most honorable thing he can do is head on down the road and leave Norah to marry her intended. But walking away from the first person to believe in him proves much harder than he imagined.
Rachel Fordham invites you to experience the strength and beauty of love forged in the crucible of hardship in this heartwarming story.

My thoughts:
It is always fun to find new authors I enjoy. I was drawn to this book with its description and cover. I enjoyed this story so much. It was one of those I didn't want to put down but at the same time I didn't want to keep reading because I didn't want it to be over!
For me this book is a reminder to keep dreaming and to share those dreams with the one you love. Dreams coming true probably won't come to be in the ways we imagine but that doesn't mean we should give up on them. The road will more than likely twist and turn to get to the realization of the dream. That is what happened for Norah and Quincy in this book.
I really enjoyed their story. Also I appreciated their friendship with Sam and Alice. Mrs. Dover and Nels were great additions too. (I'd love to see another book about any of these characters!)
You can learn more about this author as well as her other books at this site. I look forward to reading more of her books. If you enjoy historical fiction romance, be sure to check out this book.
I received a copy of this book as part of the Revell Reads blogger team for my honest review. Thank you.
