This was my first book by this author but will NOT be my last. The impossible scenerio develops, complete with suspense, family love and family hate, two worlds meet, collide and then what? When a plain farmer girl raising her younger brother meets one of the most powerful railroad men who is bent on the destruction of all she holds dear, will her Christian faith be enough to get her through? A definite page turner clear to the last sentence....more, more, more..please
Great Author

You can always count on a great story by Rosanne Bittner! This story finds you on the Nebraska Plains in the 1870s. Jude Kingman is part of the wealthy family who owns the railroad. He has been sent there to tell the settlers that they either need to pay what they are asking for their land or they have to get off. Jude is not as ruthless as the rest of his family. He knows he has to do this but he is trying to make it as painless as possible and even gave the settlers until after harvest. While down there, he meets Ingrid Svensson. She is about the only one who is not hostile toward him. She knows it's just his job and they become friends. Gradually feelings on both sides begin to change but they decide that He being so wealthy and she begin poor it would never work. Yet each are lost without each other. They can't put the other out of their mind. Will they ever be able to work out that difference? Ingrid was considering marrying another man to help save at least one of their farms. Will she go through with that? This is a really good story and kept me turning pages. It's a keeper for my shelf.
