Trinity Franklin is at her wits end. After she was stuffed
in a barrel, knocked into the river and floated through the
rapids, grasshoppers swarmed through the countryside and
devastated the property and house in Wilson's Falls where
she was staying. Now she's on the road to Dwadlo, North
Dakota, to find the only living relative she thinks she
might have. She's acting on information received from a
drifter that her great, great aunt, Pauline Wilson, might
have moved to Dwadlo from her home in Wilson's Falls.
Trinity's brother recently passed away and she needs to
sell this property and get on with her life in Sioux Falls.
As Trinity arrives in Dwadlo, she learns that two train
derailments destroyed the town and they are trying to
rebuild. She makes friends with Mae and Tom Curtis who do
know her 94-year-old aunt and help her connect with
Pauline. At dinner with Mae and Tom, Trinity meets the man
who stuffed her in the barrel. That encounter was so brief;
he did not recognize her, at first. He was trying to save
her from marauders. As it turns out, Jones is purchasing
land for the railroad and may be interested in Trinity's
property. There's just one catch, Aunt Pauline has the deed
and her memory is fading. Trinity and Jones begin a wild
goose chase to find the deed so she can sell the land. What
they discover is very special.
Set in 1893, this historical inspirational is a charming
story about the uncivilized West. Dwadlo is a strange town
filled with eccentric people, so you are in for several
laughs. The story investigates the question: why do bad
things happen to good people? It's a story about turning
tragedy into blessings; about people building walls around
their hearts and no letting anyone get close to them. UNDER
THE SUMMER SKY is the second book in Lori Copeland's
Dakota Diaries series. I think you will enjoy this
delightful story.
This romantic new book from bestselling author Lori
Copeland portrays God’s miraculous provision even when
none seems possible. 1893
A man who goes only by the name of “Jones” isn’t looking
for trouble when he happens across Miss Trinity Franklin
at the riverside. He is simply on his way to North Dakota
to seek the advice of Tom Curtis, a former CN&W Railroad
land purchaser. But when Jones spots a lady who is about
to become the victim of a marauding band of thugs, he
quickly follows his instincts. A handy barrel and a nearby
river seem the perfect getaway solution…how was he to know
she couldn’t swim? Thus begins an adventure beyond what
either could have anticipated. After Jones again rescues
Trinity—this time from the river—they find their
destination is the same: a small town in North Dakota. A
seemingly coincidental beginning comes to a delightful and
charming ending when orchestrated by the One who can put
the pieces of any lost and broken life together.
