Adelaide Proctor goes to Fort Worth Texas in 1883 hoping to rekindle a relationship with a traveling salesman that had frequented her home town. When that doesn't work out, she finds herself stranded in a strange city with no job and no prospects. She applies for a position as a governess on a sprawling sheep ranch owned by the son of a British lord. She finds her new charge, a little girl, deeply traumatized by the recent death of her mother. Has the Lord brought her to this place and job to do his will, or is she chasing yet another romantic fantasy like the ones in the romantic novels she loves so much?Ok, can you tell I had a super stressful week? I just can't handle anything heavy when I am under pressure. This one was pretty much like the other Witemeyer book I read recently. It is heavily "Christian" with Bible verses everywhere, and both sweet and innocent. It has a little more drama that the Tailor-Made Bride, but still pretty G, or at least PG rated. Hooray! It really was just what I needed this week. (2010, 366 p)
