Where the Wild Rose Blooms
Book 1 of the Rocky Mountain Memories series
348 pages · First published 1996
In the rugged American West, a young woman’s hopes for love and family unfold amid the demands of settlement and a community where survival requires practical cooperation. A developing romance is complicated by differing expectations, family obligations, and the uncertainty of frontier life. Faith and perseverance shape choices that cannot be postponed until circumstances become easier. Lori Wick’s historical Christian romance combines Western setting, family relationships, and a gentle courtship in which love must take root where life itself is still being established.
