I absolutely LOVED this series. If any of you are like me, I wanted to read this series because I absolutely loved the movie series (the one with Logan Bartholomew, Dale Midkiff, & Katherine Heigl!) And I have to say that the books are so much better than the movies. The movies don't even come close to explaining how amazing this storyline is!
So the first book starts off with Marty who loses her first husband in a tragic accident. She meets Clark shortly after and he asks her if she will marry him and become a mama to his daughter Missie, then he will pay for her train ticket back home come spring. She accepts and their story goes from there. They of course eventually fall in love and each book afterwards is about their growing family and some of the books barely have Marty and Clark in them.
I am not overly religious and I never thought that I would be so invested in a religious book like these (trust me, there is a lot of religious occurrences throughout the entire series.) But, the way that Janette Oke wrote these books goes to show how godly and wonderful her mind was. You seriously have to get used to the way that the characters talk though, because it is very southern. But, once I got into the books I didn't even notice the accent anymore.
This series was amazing because it showed just how simple life used to be, and how scary as well!! The Davis's endure happiness, pain, loss, suffering, blessings, good fortune, etc. I love how each book is years past the previous book. Janette Oke new how to keep her readers interested. I loved following this whole family and seeing Clark and Marty fall in love and become parents, and then grandparents! It basically follows the two main characters throughout their whole life.
To anyone who is thinking about reading this, I say do it. If it's not your cup of tea then that's ok! But I didn't think it would be my cup of tea either and I am seriously so glad that I read it.
