Harmon Ely operates a trading post in Texas and has this
dream of turning
his land into a productive town by placing an ad for
perspective residents.
After a husband and wife have settled on forty acres of his
land, and work the land
to create a life and stay in the rugged country for three
years, he will dead the
house and land to the couple free of charge.
Clint Truman is a devastated man who has lost his loving
wife and two
daughters to death. Drinking is his sole companion until
he chooses either jail
or an opportunity to begin again in Harmony. A stipulation
that he takes a
wife pairs him with a young woman from jail with a newborn
son which opens a
new life for him.
Captain Gillian Matheson spends all his time chasing
outlaws while his wife
waits in Kansas. He is intermittently home long enough to
father four boys when
his wife secretly accepts the contract to start a new life
offered by Harmon in
his new town. Changing his life to give up the army and
his uniform might be
a challenge when he finds out what his loving wife has
planned.
Young Patrick McAllen has chosen to escape from his abusive
father in the
hopes of escaping with his life to begin a new one.
Patrick and his young wife
face the wilderness to grow into productive and caring
people with strength
and true love.
These three couples come together as strangers and become
family.
Fighting storms, outlaws and hardships they become united
and strong to
form their newborn Harmony.
A PLACE CALLED HARMONY is one of those stories that you
will remember for a long time to come.
I loved the characters and they way they each came into the
people they were
meant to be by finding a place of their own and someone to
love and share it
with. Jodi Thomas never fails to deliver. I absolutely
love her plots and
fulfilling tales of her characters finding their way.
Anyone reading A PLACE CALLED HARMONY
will end with a feeling of contentment and warmth. You
will definitely be in
line for the next book in this series.
