Loved it!! A must read!

What an amazing book. If you are an avid reader and crave those books that are hard to put down, this one's for you. There was not one part of this book that was lacking. James Kagen, who lost the love of his life in a train wreck before they married, vowed that he would never love another. Elizabeth Beck is a young 17 year old girl who has lost each member of her family on a wagon trip from TN. They come together and James convinces her to marry him, and makes sure that she understands that love will never be involved. Both main and secondary characters in this book were well developed and a pleasure to read. The heroine has many insecurites, but in no way is she a weakling, and is actually the strongest character. Suprises and storytwist have you loving the hero one minute, and wanting to shake him the next. A most memorable book and definately one for the keeper shelf.

An absolutely must read.

I have read "The Coming Home Place" over and over and fall in love with James and Elizabeth each time.What a lovely woman Elizabeth is.This is my all time favorite. Keep the tissue handy. Would like to see a story about 'Nathan'

wonderful!

i'm speechless... i've just finished reading this novel and had to come on right away to see what else mary spencer has written. this book was just amazing, one of the best i've read all year. (and trust me, i've read alot!) the plot was original, and the characters incredibly realistic. this book was a real tear jerker i'll warn you, i think i used up half a box of kleenex reading it. but that tells u how u just get drawn into the story, until u feel everything the heroine and hero do. i don't want to give anything away, so i'll end this now. this is a must read book!

Two hearts bruised and broken try to find love together

Young Elizabeth had lost everything moving west.....James had lost his childhood sweetheart in a train wreck. James talks Elizabeth into marrying him and building a home and family together. This books is a heart wrencher!!!!!! Some chapters I had to read twice to be sure what I read really happened. It is wonderful, Mary Spencer never fails to give her readers tears and smiles!!! I loved her writing under Susan Spencer Paul for Harlequin Historicals now I am trilled to find she writes under Mary Spencer also!
