Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2002

Leaving the security of their Eastern cities and the comfort of their homes and families, pioneers move west - where only small forts protect them from the vast wilderness. Men join the military to defend the frontier, while their women support them - striving to keep families together no matter what the hardship. Only after she agrees to marry another man does Sarah Montgomery realize her fiance was not killed in the Civil War. Fort Laramie is Where Leads the Heart, but does love still await her? Abandoned and pregnant, Emmie Croftner leaves her gossip-filled hometown, seeking refuge with old friends on the Plains of Promise. Can a gentle lieutenant convince her that all men are not the same? For Jessica DuBois, privileged daughter of an army officer, The Heart Answers only to money and male attention. But when her world changes, can she prove herself a woman of substance - worthy of a righteous man's notice? Thanks to her sister's meddling, Bessie Randall discovers that she is now married by proxy to Jasper Mendenhall. Shocked, Bessie travels to Fort Bridger to learn To Love a Stranger - and experiences the surprising things God has in store for them both. Discover love, faith, and adventure in the forts of frontier Wyoming.

5.0 out of 5 stars COLLEEN COBLE HAS WRITTEN A TREASURE WITH "WYOMING"!!!, December 30, 2002

By 

Stephen and Deborah Embree (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wyoming: Where Leads the Heart/Plains of Promise/The Heart Answers/To Love a Stranger (Inspirational Romance Collection) (Paperback)

I just can't put this book down! Ms. Coble has done her homework about the forts in Wyoming during the settling of the American West. Her characters are real, and she has inspired me with her accounts of how difficult life was within these forts, how our ancestors triumphed over so much adversity to settle this great nation and secure it for us today. Difficulties of women in childbirth, soldiers in the line of duty, and maintaining civilization where none before existed are brought clearly and beautifully to mind with her great writing skills. Her characters have feelings, depth and faith. Please, Ms. Coble, write some more Barbour books for this thankful reader!!! - Deborah Smith Embree in Nashville, Tennessee....

I love this book! I have read it at least three times since I purchased it last summer. Colleen created several characters that were easy to fall into love with and villians that were realistic and easy to feel sympathy for.
