2020 has been a difficult year and I've been searching for feel-good books to help me skim along with what is going on. I ordered this selection because Cheryl St. John is usually a feel-good author. This book was a shock. The couple is already married for years and they have lost their only child through drowning. This is the story of how Amy and Jesse learn to love again. It is a poignant story, but never maudlin or sappy.
The marriage is in severe crisis; Amy stops feeling and Jesse takes up the bottle. However, the couple is in business with a stagecoach station/wagon train station (rooms, baths, and meals) on the Overland Trail. They are constantly surrounded by others. The author gives the reader a hint of what will save the couple. She notes that Amy takes good care of others. Even in Jesse's most difficult days, he always helps Amy. With those behaviors, the reader can hold on until they find each other again.
