Delightful trip to Arizona in the 1870's

The genre of this book I would describe as a Historical Christian Romance. It is historical because it takes you back to the 1870's, there are a lot of religious undertones, and it is a mild romance. Everything is G rated. It is filled with four short novellas. Each one is about 100 pages and feels like a complete novel. The best thing is all four stories are connected. The characters from the first still appear in the last. If you have questions about your faith or have recently accepted Jesus into your life or love reading about people and their relationship with God, then this book is for you! If you love to hear about how life was back in the time before tv's and . . .ahem computers you will love this book. Or if you are really romantic and would love to read about four couples finding each other without the sex scenes this is the book for you! This may help you decide if you want to read this book!
