Publishers Weekly

From the Back Cover:

'The Sweeping Plains held the Promise of a Lifetime'

Linnea:
Eager to begin her first teaching position, lovely Linnea Brandonberg stepped off the train looking as grown up and worldy as her eighteen years would allow. The golden fields and fragrant wheat of Alamo, North Dakota, were as new and different as the Westgaard family with whom she would share her life.

Teddy:
Farm life in 1917 was hard and bitter – but tiny, spirited Linnea was determined to brave its challenges. And as World War I threatened to take those she held dear, Linnea grew to womanhood in the arms of Teddy Westgaard, a man who thought he’d never find love.

”Splendid... Spencer describes the growth of Teddy and Linnea’s love with sensitivity and refreshing candor.”
