Ms. Adams wrote a wonderful tale of frontier life while interweaving false first impressions and race inequality without being preachy.
The romance between Harriet and Tom gets off to a wrong start. They have much to overcome personally before the feelings for the other can bloom and grow at the edge of the frontier.
I haven't read the rest of the books in the series. This can be read as a stand alone book. However, it's clear that other characters in this story have their own stories that you'll want to read and enjoy.
Harriet Martin left her plantation home in Atlanta and came to Kansas with one thought on her mind—finding the mother of the man she was supposed to marry. She will never find peace or be able to move on until she knows that Jane, a former slave, is safe and happy.
Tom White wants nothing more than to be his own man—traveling where he will, taking whatever jobs come his way, moving on again when he gets feeling itchy. Now working at the Brody Hotel, he starts to put down roots for the first time since he was forced to leave his home at the age of fifteen.
Both stubborn, independent, and free-spirited, Harriet and Tom have more in common than either one wants to admit. By the same twist of fate, they each have exactly what the other needs—if destiny will allow them to find the happiness they’ve been seeking.
