Lofty dreams of a new and better life lured untold thousands to America. Among those "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" are four immigrant women facing the challenges of the untamed New World. Will they have the strength and faith to meet the trials ahead? Life in the wilds of Florida as a ready-made wife and mother must be better than living on the streets in Boston, but not everyone is cut out for pioneer life. WIll Corinn be willing to say, "I Take Thee, a Stranger," in order to survive the New World? Paloma wants to find her sister in Tucson and convince her to move back to Mexico, but a handsome blacksmith keeps barring her path. Can Blessed Land be found among the Americans Paloma despices? Kiera feels she must return home to Ireland when her dreams for a new life have died, but she has found a new friend who wants nothing more than to show her that God still keeps His promises. Are Promises Kept in America? Hannah's new hope seems to have come in the form of her widowhood, but now another man is trying to dictate the future she has entrusted to God. Will Hannah hear Freedom's Ring? If you want a good wholesome book to sit down by the fire or outside in the sun, this is the book for you. I read it in one day and was sad to have it end. Kept a smile on my face and joy in my heart. ENJOY!
