Sawyer writes another amazing page-turner. The newly formed town of Spiveyville, Kansas, formed in the 1800s, is portrayed quite accurately, with its dirt roads and rough exterior. The writing evokes clear pictures of the prairie and what life was like at this time. She also effectively explores the standards of high-society living and what happens when one loses their wealth and status. The fast-pace scenes keep the pages turning, the expectation of what is coming next always exciting. Readers won’t want to miss Sawyer’s newest inspirational release!
Abigail Grant was brought up in high society. But after her father’s illegal business dealings leave her penniless and she is cast out from elite society, she humbly seeks out a company that provides brides to men in the Wild West. Abigail is sent to numerous places … and then returned due to her inability to accept the different towns and men. The company owner, upon receiving more than a dozen requests from Spiveyville, Kansas, decides to send Abigail there as a high-society tutor to teach the men some manners. Mack Cleveland is sent to retrieve Abigail and the bridal company owner from the train depot. Turmoil comes when the company owner is kidnapped. Will Abigail trust Mack and the townsfolk to find the woman she now thinks of as a mother figure? Or will she leave, despite having nowhere to run back to? (WATERBROOK, Mar., 352 pp., $14.99)
