Love Comes Softly Review

If you have never heard of or read any of Janette Oke's books, you are in for a wonderful surprise.   Her books are historical fiction with Christian emphasis.  You may have seen the Hallmark movies in this series directed by Michael Landon, Jr.

This story follows several families going west to make a life.  Tragedy befalls one young pregnant woman and she must make a decision to turn around or keep heading west.   The story that follows is intriquing, thought provoking and challenging.  It has a sweet ending.  But it doesn't end with this book.  This is the 1st in a series of 8 books that follow this young family til this young woman is a grandmother.  If you need to escape and really learn something about the times of the westward movement, this is the book (and series) for you.
