“The Kind of Story I Enjoy Reading.”
Oxfordshire, England, August 1873, Verity Standiford is
left at the Alter once again. A fallen woman because her father had caught her
with a man she thought loved her. However, her father paid him off, and he
left. Now no man wants to marry a used woman, and at 29 she’s become a
spinstress. Her brother had recently left for America, and her father suggest
Verity take her mother to visit. She accepts, and when they arrive at her
brother’s farm in Victoria, Kansas in late September, 1873, they find two men
with shotguns at her brother’s door. It seems her brother has gotten
15-year-old Sarah Adamson pregnant, and her uncle and the justice of the peace
are there to see the boy marries the girl. There’s an instant attraction
between Seth Adamson and Verity, but this is no time for foolishness.
The main characters, Seth and Verity, are strong willed,
and up to the task of seeing that things get done. It was a pleasure reading
about strong characters, as that’s what it took to settle the West. The author
is able to weave an interesting yarn about two people from different
backgrounds, who find love while dealing with the harsh land. It was people
like these that brought civilization to the West, not the gunfighters and
saloon girls. People who picked up hoe and shovel when needed, and faced
diversity. I think that’s what this story was about. Yes, it was about finding
romance, but it had humor and drama, and danger. The kind of story I enjoy
reading. Highly recommended to readers who like a good yarn with many facets.
