Book 2 of the Love Comes Softly series
206 pages · First published 1979
Years after their marriage of convenience, Clark and Marty Davis have built a loving home on the western frontier, where their growing family faces the ordinary joys and hardships of pioneer life. As their daughter Missie approaches adulthood, she begins to discover that love and marriage may lead her beyond the familiar security of her parents' home. A developing romance brings questions about courtship, commitment, and the sacrifices involved in building a life with someone else. Meanwhile, Clark and Marty continue to rely on their faith as they guide their children through new challenges and changing responsibilities. The second Love Comes Softly novel explores family devotion, first love, and the promises that endure as one generation prepares to follow another. A gentle choice for readers seeking frontier family life, first love, and the reassurance of promises carried from one generation to the next.
