Book 7 of the Love Comes Softly series
220 pages · First published 1988
Belinda Davis has devoted herself to nursing in her prairie community, but she longs for experiences beyond the familiar life she has always known. When an opportunity arises to accompany an elderly woman to Boston, Belinda eagerly embraces the chance to explore a world of elegant homes, fashionable society, books, and cultural opportunities. Yet the excitement of her new surroundings gradually gives way to loneliness and questions about what truly brings fulfillment. As she encounters unfamiliar expectations and relationships, Belinda must examine the faith and values that shaped her upbringing while discovering what independence means to her. The seventh Love Comes Softly novel follows Belinda's journey of personal growth as she learns that a wider world does not necessarily provide the happiness she imagined. A reflective choice for readers drawn to journeys of self-discovery, the pull of home, and a young woman reconsidering what makes a meaningful life.
