From a fan favorite author with more than one million books sold, a heartwarming inspirational romance set in beautiful Wild Rose Country: Preparing to travel west to begin a new life, Byler Crane has thought of everything. Everything, that is, except a wife. An impromptu ad placed in the local mercantile brings Maggie Malone into his life–and a whole lot more than he bargained for. Before the … for. Before the ink on their marriage certificate dries, the feisty new bride has managed to add a foundling girl and a young boy to the “family.”
Maggie has no reason to trust men. But Crane promises to give her a home in the west. She’ll take a chance with him if for no other reason than to escape her present situation. But she will not tolerate any sort of injustice which lands her in one situation after another.
Through it all, Crane remains true. Is this enough reason to trust him with her heart?
This is a re-release. This title was originally published by Heartsong Books in 2001.

This is a beautifully written Christian romance with wonder characters. This story kept my interest, and I couldn’t put it down. It explored the themes of forgiveness, healing, love, and redemption.
Interesting. A different way to a relationship
GREAT READ !!!!-
Clean story with likeable characters. Was not a page turner, but it was a nice story.
Enjoyed, but didn’t feel like the writer finished the story.

Wonderful & heart wrenching – beautiful.
I really liked this book. One of my favorite genres is ‘mail order brides’, and this is a similar scenario.
Very good read.
Good read. Could not put it down. I just wanted to know what would happen next. Strong characters who have been through a lot of heartache.

My only complaint about this book was its length– too short! They are great characters and I wanted to know more.
I really enjoyed the spiritual component of remembering what their mothers had taught them.
I enjoyed this book, but felt the ending was weak.
A little slow to start however, lots of adventures and great learning lessons
I really enjoyed this book, and got drawn into the story!
Want to read more from thistle author
A nice read even making me think about the fate of women back in the old west.
