AGES 12- 99 ---CROSSING THE PLAINS, and TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE
Hugh and Irena Shaw
grieved after the death of their three year old son. Little Anya's
grandfather collapsed on the trail, leaving her an orphan. Irena was
ready to adopt the precocious and lonely child, but Hugh felt disloyal
to his little boy. Could he take a chance and love another man's child?
George
Greer's fiancé died just weeks before their wedding. Now he was
following his dream to go to Oregon Territory, but was he ready to love
again? His mother thought so, and sent her wedding ring for his future
bride.
This book is family oriented, and suitable for ages twelve though ninety-nine.
Excerpt: That first spring when everything was green again was like a knife cutting in to the grieving couple's very soul. There would be no walks with a rosy cheeked little boy who stopped to pick wildflowers. How he loved to pick them! The summer that he turned three, he was obsessed with pretty wildflowers and weeds that he thought were flowers. On every walk, he ran ahead and picked his mother a mixed bouquet of weeds and wildflowers. Irena would breathe in the smell as he watched proudly. She would always give him a hug, and thank him for the flowers...always.
Now thick grass grew on the little mound where their baby slept. Hugh had erected a carved stone, and Irena planted flowers for her boy. She cried bitterly while she patted the damp earth around them. Ivan would never bring her flowers again and beam with pride when she put them in a jar. The ache in her heart was so consuming that she wanted to die.
