By: Jane Steen

Narrated by: Elizabeth Klett

Love or independence? Few choices remain for Nell and her new family on the Kansas frontier....

Kansas, 1872. Unwed mother Nell Lillington hopes to support her daughter Sarah and friend Tess by working as a seamstress in an isolated seminary. When her only ally among the seminary's leaders dies, she must choose between returning to her old life in Chicago and remaining in charge of her destiny.

As her talent as a dressmaker begins to win her commissions, Nell attracts the attention of two suitors: Reiner Lehmann, a wealthy senior student, and Judah Poulton, an impoverished professor. Shocking news from back home and another death at the seminary press Nell to make her decision. A disastrous winter journey, a treacherous game, and an impossible love could finally wrest control of Nell's life out of her hands for good.

Great follow uo

This story realistically coneys the hardships a young unwed mother faces as she pioneers into the Kansas Midwest in an attempt to experience freedom and strength to live a fruitful life. The characters are well written, Nell in stubbornness and Juda in cunningness. A love longing comes into light and the reader will hang hopes on the couple.

Great second book

I enjoyed the second more that the first. I ordered it by accident, but it was a good accident. On to number 3
