This is the second in a series of three Christian historical fiction books. Unfortunately, the library only has it on cd and only 2 copies. It is set in the 1890's and concerns the second generation of the two families in California.
Emmeline comes from Washington D. C. to California to try her hand at starting an orange grove ranch. I like that she is not the most gorgeous person as usual, but has some real difficulties in social situations.
She, of course, meets Quaid who runs cattle on the ajoining ranch. He is not her biological cousin so their romance is okay. Naturally, there is much that happens before they finally marry on disc 12. (I'm not giving away a key plot; everyone knows it will happen the minute they listen to the cd.) It is the journey that is interesting. Like her other book, some of it seems implausible for the time period.
All in all, the stories have been interesting and the Christian message not too overwhelming, but actually pretty good.
