Book Overview
Eighteen-year-old, Emma Brady, loves nothing better than working in the garden, but her cooking skills leave a lot to be desired. While other young women in the late nineteenth century are reading about proper housekeeping, she studies herd improvement. Emma's dream is to implement plans for the ranch’s profitability. Unfortun... ately, things are not running in her favor.
Emma has been in love with Brian Scott, or Scotty as she’s always known him, since she saw him take up for a small boy at school. The youth who demonstrated so much character taking on the injustice of the schoolroom is now a deputy sheriff. But Scotty’s love for law enforcement seems to be waning as is his feelings for her.
Her friends and family tell her he’s busy with work, trying to stop a notorious band of outlaws from terrorizing the area, but he could have dropped her more than a simple postcard. Will the boy she’s been in love with her whole life return or is she just holding onto a childhood dream?
Combining history, humor, and romance with an emphasis on faith, friends, and good clean fun, Emma’s Dream is a delightful tale that reminds us how God uses adversity to strengthen us and draw us closer to Him. read more
