This book starts the story of the relationship of Jessica Dubois to Sarah Montgomery and Emmie Croftner. This is Sarah's story, with Jessica playing a side role. Plains of Promise is Emmie's story, and Jessica's full story is told in The Heart Answers. These are inspirational and historical books, set in the Indian Wars period. The historical facts are much appreciated, and the gospel is clearly presented in all three stories. I love this author's romantic suspense novels, and now I have found that I enjoy her historical romance as well.

This is difficult to review because it depends on what you're looking for. If you want a good Christian book, this is a 5. If you want a good book but spicier then this is a 3.....so I gave it 4*....Sarah believes Fiance Rand died in the civil war and so deciding that no one else will matter, she agrees to marry Ben. Ben, however, knows Rand is alive! Fortunately Rand gets home the day before sarah's wedding. He's upset that she didn't wait for him and leaves to head westward with the cavalry. Sarah gets on a stage and follows him but he is engaged to another when she gets there.Ben, who is determined to have Sarah andis disgraced with the community realizes he duped them all by lying about rand's death follows sarah and Rand west to get even with them. Rand stopped talking to God during the horrors of the war and sarah lost her intimacy with God when Rand was killed. So amidst all their problems and all of Bens evil deeds, these 2 eventually have to turn back to God to find thier way. It is a wonderful, sweet story. Well written, great characters.
