My review:
This is a good addition to a fun series. Even though this book is a part of a series it can be read as a stand alone and you will not feel lost. There are a number of topics in this book to keep the story moving along. For example the story has mail-order brides, custody issues, discrimination as well as orphans and widows.There is also romance and adventure involved. Plenty of things going on to keep you turning the pages to see what is going to happen next. I really liked the characters in this book and found myself pulling for Silas and Kate to work things out and become a family. The author did a good job with the settings so you can really see and feel what is happening. A nice ending to a good series.
