Keeper of the Plains - Wichita, Ks

I'm currently reading "Love Finds you on Christmas Morning" on my Kindle app on my tablet.  Two wonderful stories of the same house -- set 85 years apart.

 Two women receive marriage proposals in the same house—eight-five years apart. Love finds a home on Christmas morning in two heartwarming holiday stories. 

“Deck the Halls”
And 
"’Tis the Season”

And, I wanted to share some photos with you that I took of a Wichita Attraction called "Keeper of the Plains".  You can read more about this Statue at this article. 

The 44', 5 ton stylized sculpture of an Indian Chief was designed by Native American artist Blackbear Bosin (1921-1980) and constructed by Tom Washburn of Architectural Metal Products.

Review: "Love finds you in Bridal Veil, Oregon by Miralee Ferrell

Published January 1st 2010 by Summerside Press

Amidst a backdrop of thievery and murder in historic Bridal Veil, Oregon, a schoolteacher is torn between the memories of a distant love and the man who could be her future. Margaret Garvey had given her heart to Nathaniel, but he left town six years before. 
Now she's giving love another chance, but her decision to build a new life with Andrew is shaken when Nathaniel steams back into Bridal Veil on a riverboat to work at the nearby sawmill. When disaster strikes the town and threatens the welfare of its citizens, Margaret will be faced with the most important choice of her life.

My thoughts:
Im a fan of the "Love finds you" series, and really enjoyed this story set in the historical setting of the small town of Bridal Veil, Oregon.  The love story between Margaret and Nathaniel and Andrew is very touching.. Margaret thought that Nathaniel had left her several years ago, and she wasnt sure whether to trust him or not when he returns to Bridal Veil.  The Community of this small town pulls together to try and solve the murder of one of their own, and Margaret meets two Runaway children that are trying to escape to a better way of life. 
Without giving too much of the story away...
This story had me turning the pages to see what happens next, it was hard to put down!
I recommend this book to anyone that loves Historical romances!
I also enjoyed the historical facts about this community and the Author's family in the back of this book.

Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska

By: Tricia Goyer, Ocieanna Fleiss 

 Love Finds You Series

Summerside Press - 2013 - Paperback

Singer Ginny Marshall is one signature away from the recording contract of her dreams—a deal that would guarantee success for the former foster child, who still struggles to bury the memories of her painful childhood. But Ginny needs advice from the one person who will look out for her best interests—her former fiancé, Brett Miller. She travels to the remote town of Glacier Bay, Alaska, where the town’s colorful characters and stunning scenery provide respite from LA’s pressures.

In Glacier Bay, Ginny discovers a box of old letters and is swept up in the love story between Clay, an early missionary to Alaska Territory, and Ellie, the woman who traveled there to be his children’s governess. When Ginny is reunited with Brett in Glacier Bay, will she discover—as Ellie did—that healing and love are sometimes found in the most unexpected places?

But Ginny needs advice from the one person who will look out for her best interests--her former fiance, Brett Miller. She travels to the remote town of Glacier Bay, Alaska, where the town's colorful characters and stunning scenery provide respite from LA's pressures.

When Ginny is reunited with Brett in Glacier Bay, will she discover--as Ellie did--that healing and love are sometimes found in the most unexpected places?

I was swept up in the love story between Ginny and Brett, they are right for each other - but they both struggle to realize their true feelings for one another.  As Ginny gets to know Bretts Grandmother better, she realizes how wonderful she is, and what stories that she has to share, including a box of old postcards that describe a wonderful love story that happened in the past..
If you have never been to Alaska,.. or ....if you have, - you will enjoy the gorgeous descriptions of the Alaska wilderness in this book.
  I found this story to be one of hope, romance and Community spirit!

  5 Stars!
