5.0 out of 5 stars Clark and Marty go to Missie's 'West", July 24, 2003

This review is from: Love's Abiding Joy (Love Comes Softly Series #4) (Paperback)

With the advent of trains, Marty and Clark finally take a vacation to visit Missie, Willie and their two little boys. Missie's beautiful stone home is already built and Willie's cattle business is doing well. The long awaited reunion is spoiled early in the trip by a horrible, unforeseen accident that threatens the family's faith, endurance and even a life. Without a doctor-- it seems a main character will die.

The two week vacation turns out very differently, but in the meantime, Clark has made a huge difference in the lives of the ranchhands and local town and area. One learns to love Cookie, Scottie and Lane in this book.

The book was a good look at the dynamics of early American Godly family life, and I am anxious to start book 5. Thank you Janette Oke.

This book was great. I was so happy to read Clark and Marty were going to visit Missie and Willie. What an ordeal the trip must have been. The visit, I could picture it in my head. Fabulous writing. I enjoyed this book as much as the first.

Recommened to anyone reading this series. I really hope this goes on film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book but nothing like the movie, December 16, 2006

This review is from: Love's Abiding Joy (Love Comes Softly Series #4) (Paperback)

The person who only rated it one star is not being fair. The books were written long before the movies ever came out and they are nothing alike. Both are good in their own rights. I think the entire series is easy and delightful reading. I enjoy most of Janetter Oke's series. The Candian West is also very good.
