Terrific stories!
I have owned this book for four months and have already read it twice. It is full of everything a Christian romance should contain. I have to give Bateman great praise for her novella collection. As a reader of heatsong presents and the barbour novella collections, I have many books to compare this to. The biggest challenge with this type of book is that the writer is given only ...

an excellent book
This is an excellent book about a family living in the hardships of the midwest in the early 18th century. The book is full of inspiration about living life with God's help. I highly recommend entering the world of the St John family and learning about God's abiding presence in our lives.

THE BEST INSPIRATIONAL ROMANTIC TALES I HAVE EVER READ
Built around the development of this house, four novellas are arranged by four authors who interweave them expertly. Each author brings with her a style and story intimately her own. I highly recommend this collection. Although I may be new to this genre, I LOVED this book! Several of the tales won Best Novellas of the year 2003 from the American Christian Romance Writers' Association.

A great historical romance
I loved this book. My only complaint, is that this book was not included in the Oregon Brides collection...without this story the book is not complete.

A Stitch in Time: Basket Stitch/Double Cross/Spider Web Rose/Double Running (Inspirational Romance Collection)

a wonderful read
I fell in love with the Stafford siblings and their romance troubles (and their neighbors too, especially the mischievous Testament Brothers)! It was fun to see how each brother (and a sister) fought love, only to end up right in the middle of it! These stories, written by four authors, blend well and make you feel like you're a part of the family. I especially enjoyed the stitching theme 'woven' ...

But For Grace
Reading this story made me smile, laugh, and cry all in one day. I quickly fell in love with Stars story and her drive to want to do well. Her stubborn streak got her into quite a few messes that make for a very good laugh. I loved reading about her learning to love the Lord and become a Christian. This story also has a great overall message that no matter what a person has in their past, God ...

4 for the price of one is always good!
I rarely read romance. It's just not my thing - much more of an action, suspense, and drama fellow. But this book (along with a few others - e.g. Trolley Girl) managed to keep me interested. The writing is solid, moving, and a great piece of inspirational fiction. I found the characters much more likable (or should I say real) than I expected. I may have a skewed outlook on romance ...

Heartwarming and hard to put down...
I enjoy historical fiction and found this novella set hard to put down. Both were very romantic stories, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I have to say this is one of my favorite novellas because of the strong romance element. The reader can't help but want the couples to get together. Great tension and evidence of attraction without going overboard. Heartwarming themes. Both had likeable couples. ...

Highland Legacy
I'm not a real critic like some others. I just know what I enjoy and don't enjoy. I enjoyed this book very much. I read it to my husband at night in bed. We both enjoyed the book. I have read several books with four stories in one book, and really enjoy them. I believe when four people write an ongoing, connecting story it must be hard to keep things together. I like the connecting story of ...
