I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 1865 Lowell, Maine Olivias husband died in the Union army leaving her a widow with no children. She decided to be a school teacher in Seattle, WA . The men of Seattle pay for the bride's to come to marry the men, but Olivia does not want to marry only to teach. She finally gets a teaching position. Feeling responsible for her sister who came out with her she then asks God for wisdom if she should oppose her sisters, marriage to a sea captain. The sheriff is taken with Olivia and before he asked her out to dinner he prays, The past is in your hands, cleanse me from my sins, pain, regret and loss, let me walk with you a new, thank you Lord. The sheriff is a very handsome guy and soon wants to marry Olivia. In the meantime the man who arranged the trip from Maine gave Olivia an ultimatum; get married by Christmas or pay the $300.00 passage and loose your teaching contract. What will she do? It is very interesting to find out. FIVE 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
