Set in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Coming to America series is Love Comes Softly meets Little House on the Prairie.
Dear Inga,
I'm thinking it is not good for my baby and me to stay much longer in Whistle Creek, Idaho. The sheriff is showing altogether too much interest. I suppose I should feel flattered, for Carson Barclay is not only strikingly handsome, but a man of character and faith who has shown Keary and me considerable kindness. But I'm afraid his affections are ones I cannot return. The secret I bear makes a future with him impossible. Yet Inga, when Sheriff Barclay is near, it's everything in my Irish heart that wishes otherwise.
Your friend,
Mary Emeline Malone
Idaho: mountainous, rugged. Men go there to find their fortunes in the silver mines--and lose their pasts. But as Mary Malone discovers, sometimes the past is not so easily shaken. It will take a good man's strong, persistent love to penetrate the young immigrant's defenses and disarm the secret that makes a hostage of her heart.
Robin Lee Hatcher's Coming to American series blends intense chemistry and conflict between the characters, strong female protagonists, and rich historical settings with a glowing faith and humanity that will win your heart.
