Why Get This Book

In 1860s Seattle, a man with a wife could claim 640 acres of timberland. After his wife's untimely death, Joe Denton is about to lose half his claim. Still grieving, he decides to buy one of the Mercer girls arriving from the East, a wife in name only. Deeanne Gist writes a witty, warm historical romance about grief, pride and surprising love. It's for readers who love the frontier and a good laugh. Honest note: it's a romance with some romantic tension, so it's better for adults and older teens. Next step: read Proverbs 18:22 and thank God for the people He's placed in your life.
