Copper Brown is now a single mother raising her young daughter. She has returned to her home at Troublesome Creek after the death of her husband to start her life over again. Now the local midwife, she tends to the needs of others. Then an old childhood sweetheart returns and Copper begins to fall in love again, finally able to erase the pain. But just when it looks like there will be a happy ending, secrets from John's past threaten to destroy any future for him and Copper.
This is the third book in the Troublesome Creek series. I was worried that since I hadn't read the other two I would be completely lost. Luckily this book can stand alone as a novel because there is enough back story so a new reader would not be lost. I really liked Copper's character. She's a single mom living in the frontier but she is fully capable of supporting herself. Yes there is a man she is in love with but she doesn't need him to take care of her all the time. Her relationship with her daughter is very loving and tender. This is especially important because Copper is also a midwife and also serves as the area's doctor to those in need. The other characters in the story are interesting especially the siblings Dimmert, Darcy and Dance. The first two come out of nowhere to help out Copper and her daughter while the Dance needs Copper to help her with her own child. I enjoyed reading about these characters because they added life to the story. Copper's relationship with John is passionate yet they both keep restraint due to being strong in their faith. I was worried that the ending would be typical of most Christian fiction when involving secrets that could ruin an engagement. However I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome because it was unique and not at all what I had expected.Read more ›

Troublesome Creek, Willow Springs and Torrent Falls are books that exhibit how to live a Christian life without relying on quoting scripture after scripture. Faith provides a framework on which to live your life and this series truly spotlights this.

Through many trials given to Copper Brown Corbett she succeeds in handling them with the love of Jesus. Even when her friend has married her fiance,she realizes God has to somehow be in control. She reacts by saving her girlhood friend and nursing her back to health.
I loved this story of midwives in the hills of Kentucky and the hard life they endured to help others.
Jan Watson did a fine old fashioned job of showing a compelling story without much preaching and telling. I enjoyed how she showed the love of Jesus at every turn in her life and it challenged me to love others more.
Blessings.

Love this series, and this book! The author has become one of my new absolute favorites! This one allows us to move back to the mountains with Copper and her child. We see her and John reunite and it is beautifully done. The historical detail, setting, charachters, development and feel of these books is among the best I've seen. Well worth the read - this author is a winner!

Building on characters from the 1st two books, yet adding new characters to keep it interesting. After a couple of books, some series become very predictable - not this one. I'm currently reading this book & can't wait to see how things turn out. Author keeps putting in new twists, just when you think you have things figured out.
