Marty and Clark are home from Missy's, and the re-adjustment takes time. Luke has finally left home, studying to become a doctor. Arnie and Anne have married. Nandry is withdrawn and refuses to be a part of the family anymore and Marty is unable to find out why. Clare and Kate are super-anxiously awaiting the birth of their first baby. Are they prepared if things go wrong? Will their faith survive? The LaHayes have decided to visit Willie and Missy in the West, and much to everyone's surprise, they love it! In their absence, we again meet Lane, the humble, trustworthy, handsome young cowboy who works at the Hanging W. Missy and Willy now have three children and Clae and her preacher husband are in the east.

This particular book focuses on Ellie, her strong points and her dreams. She has adequately assumed the role of homemaker and caregiver in spite of the fact she is probably the prettiest, most eligible young woman in the area. Her heart is pure, her motives are right and she is a real blessing to her parents. Will this continue? Or change when she is faced with a life-altering decision? This book makes the reader hurt with Ellie, dream with her, and finally, well, you need to read the book.

There is one major bombshell in this book, but that would spoil it for future readers. Way to go Janette Oke, and keep the books coming in, they are a wonderful escape to a simpler, quieter time. This book ends with the Davis family in awe of passing on UNENDING LEGACIES....not just material, but spiritual as well.

This book was focused on the other children of Marty and Clark.

Very little was mentioned of Missie and Willie, and I didn't know if I would be interested in it. I was!!! I love Ellie and Lane. There were heartbreaking moments, also. Overall, must read again.

I love this series but this is one of my favorite books only because it is so full of fun and surprises. I think that love that Ellie finds is sweet and true. I also love the biggest suprise of all.

This fifth book of Janette Oke's "Love Comes Softly" series continues the story of main characters Clark and Marty Davis. In her dealings with the issues surrounding the family's acceptance of Clark's new handicap and the occurance of other difficult events, Janette Oke gently teaches lessons of faith readers can apply to their own life. Whether describing the emotions of a mother sending her grown children off to fulfill their dreams, or tackling the agonizing question of why God would permit tragedy in the lives of those who serve him, Janette Oke's writing draws the reader into the story and plays those emotions directly upon the strings of the reader's heart. Unlike many lukewarm prarie-era stories, this book does not shy away from unpleasant subjects. Instead it tackles them head on, forcing the reader to grow in his/her own assurance as s/he identifies with the characters in the book, and with their tragedies and triumphs. A must read for anyone who has ever asked the question, "Why, God?"

This book continues the story of the conclusion of Clark and Marty's western adventure...with a suprising twist. Like Oke's many other books, this one leaves you with a warm, comfortable feeling during and after reading. I enjoyed Love's Unending Legacy very much and highly recommend it.

I love to re read all of my favorite books from childhood and this is the first series that I had ever read. Of course, any book that my parents got me, I would devour, but I love this whole series! Including the Prairie Legacy series!

I, originally, was acquainted with this series through movies based on the books. They were absolutely wonderful as well! This author writes for readers that want to read clean christian novels! Jeanette Oke is GREAT!

This book begins when Marty and Clark are returning from the west. Ellie and the boys have taken care of the farm while Marty and Clark were gone, and Ellie has grown up to be able to take care of things by herself.

This book particularly focuses on Ellie and what she wants and is going to do with her life now that Ma and Pa are back. There are marriages and babies throughout, as in most of these stories now.

I liked this book more than the previous books at times. It seemed to have more interesting plot lines going on.

Janette Oke is a wonderful writer. I thoroughly enjoy this series.
It is good reading for any age. She does include a lot of religion
in her stories which may be offensive to non-religious readers.
I purchased this book from Amazon and was very satisfied.
I am an avid reader. I always go to Amazon.com when I am looking
for a book.

Another, lovely book, of true love and the power it is in life.
Makes you want to sit in front of their fireplace and just watch their
life.
