A story of forgiveness and learning to let go of the past and to make amends and go forward in life and love. It was another good story in this series. I highly encourage anyone reading this to read these stories in the order written (this is book #4), as this is just a continuation of the saga of this family and community in Oregon.

This book is about two ladies, Katrina from Boston, and Catie O'Connell from Sheridan, Oregon. Katrina is a spoiled and discontented young woman who falls in love and quickly marries Jude, a man who has little material possessions. When she finds herself in Sheridan, she realizes how ill equipped she is to be his wife. Their story will run through this book as well as Catie's story.

Catie has waited 10 years for her childhood sweetheart, Rand, to return and marry her. She finally agrees to marry a fine upstanding man in the community who loves her dearly and who has continued to pursue her. Days before their wedding Rand returns and Catie makes a very bad and hasty decision to run away with him. This doesn't end well for Catie, but thankfully she finds herself back home and trying to make amends for all the hurt she has caused.

Both of these stories were very well told and I found myself staying up late to see how they would both end. This is a series I am glad I took the time to read. I have not been disappointed in any of them. ( )
