My Thoughts: I absolutely loved reading this book again! Marty it's interesting seeing prairie life through Marty's eyes and commiserate with her through that first week of trying to keep house for another man and be a mother to a little girl who doesn't like her at first. Another spiritual message is that God does care about our lives and is with us through the hard times. The Christmas story and Easter salvation messages are explained in detail and Marty eventually asks Jesus Christ to be her Savior (a scene which brought tears to my eyes!). His daily readings initially take unbeliever Marty by surprise but she soon becomes interested, starts asking questions and finds herself in hard times calling out to Clark's God. Spiritual Content: Clark Davis is a man of great faith and begins each breakfast meal with Bible reading and prayer. My sister and I loved the scenes described of inexperienced Marty's first attempts at housekeeping and her interactions with her neighbors. Also the strength of the the pioneer people really impressed me, how they often carried on amid great heartache or trouble - you had to keep going or you'd get swallowed up by it all and fade away. Interesting Bits: The day to day work, activities and life of prairie families are described in some detail and I found that fascinating. My mom and I have read many of her books and greatly enjoy the way she usually includes the salvation message and verses from scripture in each of her stories. I read my first Janette Oke books when I was about eleven years old and devoured her Love Comes Softly series.
