other dreamers with whom romance sparks. And God has His hand in
orchestrating each unique meeting.
Love Stakes a Claim on the Great Plains
Promises of free land lured thousands to venture into to the vast
American plains. They built make-do homes and put all they had into
improving the land. Very often romantic thoughts took a back burner
to priorities having to do with the land.
In these nine novellas, individuals are forced to encounter romance
when neighbor helps neighbor, when land ownership is debated, and
when natural disaster blows them off course.
