review 1: I loved the budding relationship between Ada and Wyatt. Wyatt's aunt was a hoot and a great character to edge on the hero and heroine. It was enjoyable to read about Ada's desire to be an early entrepreneur and to understand Wyatt's dreams of a better life after suffering through the War between the States. This is a very entertaining read that has an intriguing plot, believable characters and a wonderful descriptive setting. Dorothy Love should be among your must read authors!
