pickI honestly watched the movies first growing up and just now starting the books. It's surprising as how different they are. I'm pretty conflicted about it. I truly love the movie characters better. It is still a great read and worth your time if you are a fan of Christian Fiction like myself. I may regret not reading the books first.
I loved this book as a teenager! I think I will try this again just to walk down memory lane!
My husband bought me this gem for my birthday ❤️ This is the 40th anniversary edition signed by the one and only Janette Oke. What a treasure! #signedbytheauthor #itsmybirthday

"First published in 1979, Janette Oke's beloved classic launched a new wave of inspirational fiction and inspired and captivated readers with its endearing story of loss and love. ... Millions have laughed, wept, and rejoiced with Marty and Clark Davis, whose tragic circumstances threw them together, suddenly and unexpectedly, on the frontier prairies of the late 1800s.”
This wad the first series I read as a child and I have read and reread it several times. #mbcreadathon #MBCfrogsread10
pickThis was my favorite book when I was 10 or so. Recently I had a strong hankering to revisit it. I never reread books, but this one was a pleasure to see again. It's a reminder of the joys that can come from the greatest sorrows. It is very much a Christian romance, and the God stuff didn't do a lot for me (not to mention the casual racism). But I still found enjoyment in it.
so-soAn OK quick read. The plot is paced well, and is captivating enough. It's lacking, however, in a few areas. There's a sad lack of dialogue, which is important for reading intentions. The characters aren't very three-dimensional, though somewhat lifelike. Lastly, it lacks opportunities for inference. All development is told directly, rather than left for the reader to discover. If you're looking for a short, decently satisfying read, I'd recommend.
pickI love frontier stories! I've been reading this series since my great-grandma shared her copies with me as a child. Clark + Marty have a marriage of convenience but grow to love one another as Marty cares for Clark's young child.
At first, Clark is as gracious as Marty is prickly. I love them so much! Her growth is as amazing as his patience. The subsequent books are based on their additional children.
The movie is good but leaves out so much.
