This allowed Nell to make these girls some pretty frocks. She and her two younger sisters helped their widower father run a ranch, and the father did not realize that the girls wanted to wear dresses. She just did not like wearing men's clothing. I wondered if this girl suffered abuse, but thankfully this was not the case. One day a young girl burst into her shop asking Nell to hide her. She did not enjoy making chaps, but they were a good money maker for Nell. Nell tried to get ladies to buy dresses from her, but the main interest in this area was for chaps.
The year was 1871, and Wyoming was way ahead of other states in letting women have rights. She traveled with her brother, and he wanted to go further west, but she settled in a small town in Wyoming. The main female character in this book was widowed. I was not required to post a favorable review. *I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House on behalf of the author. This is the second in the series and while it can be read as a stand-alone, I recommend that you read Forged in Love in order to meet the other folks that reside in Pine Valley and to see what trouble the Dead Eye Gang made that has the residents of the quiet town so on edge. Add in the suffragette movement, loyal dogs and friends and a solid faith thread and you have a very enjoyable story. This story is the perfect blend of a budding romance or two, suspense and danger and the town of Pine Valley pulling together to help each other thwart the outlaws.
When the notorious Dead Eye Gang threatens, it seems the logical solution is a marriage of convenience. Brand is a widower with three daughters who are used to wearing britches and are tired of nothing feminine in their wardrobes. Nell is an independent widow who makes chaps but would rather make pretty dresses. This series has all the heart of a Jeanette Oke novel but with lots of spunk and wit that are the trademark of Ms.
