Customer Reviews

Great for Engaged or Newlywed

Oke does a fantastic job of capturing lessons learned in the first years of a relationship while sharing a story that made it hard for me to put the book down. I especially enjoyed how she shared the development of northern Canada and the balanced relationship between the native tribes and the RCMP.

This book is wonderful!

This book really brings to life what living in Northern Canada was about in the early 1900's. I found myself thinking what it would be like in Elizabeth's shoes. She endured such hardships just to be with the man she loved. What a great lovestory! It is excellent, just like all of Jeanette Oke's other books that I have read. I can't wait until it is printed again so I can have my own copy.

What a GREAT book!

I love ever Janette Oke book I've ever read, but this is a favorite! I hope everyone who reads this liked it as much as I did!

It deserves many more stars!

This is my favorite series from Oke. I wish it was longer. I never wanted the book to end. Oke is a wonderful author, and this is a must read book.

I recommend it highly.

What a delightful book -- one that you want to re-read right away. From page one I disappeared into Elizabeth's Canada and emerged more than 700 pages later much richer and happier for it.

This book is wonderful, I recommend it to everyone!

This book was totally awesome! I absolutely loved it. The first time that I read it was when I was on a trip with my parents to visit my grandparents in Arizona during Christmas time. It was one of my Christmas presents. I lost some sleep because I couldn't put the book down at night. I first read it when I was about 13 or 14 years old. I saw the book and thought "oh my gosh, it's so long! I'll never be able to read this." Once I started however, I couldn't put it down. I'm almost 18 years old now, and I've read it about seven or eight times. I recommend this book to anyone regardless of what you normally would read. If you have any other books by this same author that you loved, write me and tell me their titles! I love reading!
