Description
Marty and Clem set out for the pioneer West full of hopes and dreams. They would stake a claim of their own on the new frontier and build a home for themselves and their family. But just after they'd arrived and Clem had chosen the perfect setting for their new home, an accident took his life, leaving Marty alone and pregnant. Then, on the day of his funeral, Clark Davis came along and asked Marty to marry him! Marty was infuriated, but with no money, no shelter, and a baby on the way, what choice did she have? Besides, Clark said he only wanted her to be a mama to his baby girl, Missie. If Marty was still unhappy come spring, he would pay for her ticket back East. Determined not to be a burden to Clark and intending only to earn her keep, Marty threw herself into her new role of "Mama." But she had never been anyone's mama before, and she didn't even know how to keep a house! If only she could do right by this lonely man and his daughter just long enough to earn her train fare back home. Now, Marty must learn wholeness and love through patience and faith.
