Book Description

Publication Date: January 27, 1997 | Series: Wildrose Series/Ruth Glover, Bk 4 (Book 4)

Plain. And too ordinary to find love . . . Despite her inherited wealth and successful business, Hannah Vaughn considers herself plain and ordinary, a feeling reinforced for years by her now deceased father. Though her dream is to live a simple life, she is convinced that no man will ever love her for herself, and not just for her money. A thousand miles to the northwest, Dovie Ivey is happily married but has suffered through two traumatic pregnancies, each ending in the death of a desperately wanted infant son. Now more than 40 years old and pregnant for what her husband has vowed will be the last time, Dovie is trying her best to trust that God will grant her a healthy child despite the loving warnings of friends who are afraid another loss will devastate her. Farther south, Edward Carroll and his two children, Holly and Neddy, have come to a temporary standstill following the unexpected death of Edward’s wife and the children’s mother. Her dream was to settle far away in the verdant bush country of Saskatchewan. Now, killed by a rampant influenza, her body lay under a crudely marked grave on the expansive Canadian prairie. Hannah, Dovie. and the Carrolls-all are at a crossroads that will test their fortitude and faith in God. Each faces odds that seem tantamount to certain defeat. These are their stories in this fourth of the Wildrose Series, told in the masterful and captivating way that has become the trademark of Ruth Glover. Paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars love awaits in Wildrose, June 22, 2000

By 

Beverly "bevreader" (Mississippi) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Turn Northward, Love: Book 4 (Wildrose Series/Ruth Glover, Bk 4) (Paperback)

Like the previous books in the Wildrose series, Glover entwines new characters with the old to tell a sweet story of what happens to those who are searching for love. Digby and Dovie have lost two babies and want desperately to have a child to love. Plain Hannah knows that she is not pretty and wants someone to love her for who she is, not her money. Matthew, disfigured in an accident, wants someone to love him and see beyond his scar. Finally, Holly and Neddy, orphaned by the hard life in the Canadian bush, want parents to love and take care of them. True to the title, the characters in this book all find the love that they are searching for northward in the settlement of Wildrose in the harsh Canadian bush. This is a truly endearing story of how faith in God sees these people through their rough times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!, April 18, 2002

This review is from: Turn Northward, Love: Book 4 (Wildrose Series/Ruth Glover, Bk 4) (Paperback)

I've read all of the books in this series and throughly enjoyed them. They are very well written; I especially like the author's technique of overlapping multiple plotlines to form a richly textured story. This author also really incorporates the Christian aspect of the characters instead of just throwing in a verse here or there and calling it good.
