Was in the mood for a bit of romance, and this Christian historical novel had enough schmoopiness to hit the spot. A young orphaned woman joins a convoy of Civil War widows & orphans emigrating to Seattle. The women were promised jobs as cooks, governesses, or domestics. The lumberjacks, however, were promised wives. Hijinks ensue.

The love story was a sweet one, and the author's descriptions of early Seattle intrigued me. According to the author, there was a real ship-load of women who made the journey to Washington, with reporters documenting its progress to US newspapers.
