Rocky Calhoun's sister has died, leaving him with two young children to take care of. When he meets the fiery Sarah Woodward, he proposes the answer to both their problems—a marriage in name only. Sarah soon comes to love the children, but Rocky is afraid she'll never survive as a farmer's wife with her privileged upbringing. Can he let go of the pain in his past and trust God's plan for his life? Will she leave him or will they actually find a marriage made in heaven?
While the plot maybe had one too many tragedies in it for my personal taste, the proof is in the fact that I didn't close it and go to sleep, even when it was 2:00 AM. I read it straight through in one sitting, not putting it down until I turned the last page.
I'm looking forward to more of the Little Hickman Creek series. If you like historical romance, you'll love Sarah My Beloved.
