Customer Reviews

A must read for fans of Western Historical Romance!

This was my first book by author Catherine Snodgrass, but it will not be my last! This book lacked nothing and has characters that will live on long after the last page is read. Grace Marshall and Jake Tanner come together when Jake comes to the Marshall farm to collect on a debt owed to the Tanner Brothers by Grace's Father. The debt? The price of one Milk Cow. The Marshalls are a poor family and can't pay for the cow, so the father and Jake agree that the oldest daugher, Grace would come to the Tanner farm for 1 year and work off the debt as the new housekeeper. Grace's mother will settle for no less than marriage for her plain, clumsy daughter. Jake reluctantly agrees, knowing that he and his brother A.J and all of their children, need a woman in the home. This is a wonderfully written story full of strong characters that come to life from page one and a must read for any fan of western historical fiction, or those who simply are looking for a memorable story that touches your heart!
