The pacing of this novel was perfect. Yes, there was sadness in this story, but frontier life was often sad. This was in a day in which there were no antibiotics and people often died of things we now consider minor. The author did some unique things for a novella or even a romance. I liked the fact that the heroine was 6 years older than Brant. It was a problem for Abby, but when Brant indicated it was immaterial to him, she let go of her concern.

Abby was stunned when she arrived and found there was competition for Brant's affections. I thought Brant handled it well, although Abby was horrified that someone else wanted Brant -- and the competition was beautiful. This book is under 200 pages, yet it offers an interesting story that stays with the reader. There is a great depth of emotion displayed in this book. It is a gem.
