Some memories are best forgotten… 

The Wyoming Territory is rife with lawlessness and disorder, something Annie Ledbetter and her parents discover when their wagon train is robbed. Seven years later, Annie settles into her lifelong dream as a teacher in the small town of Willow Falls. When she meets handsome rancher Caleb Eliason through a humorous misunderstanding, she is quickly drawn to his kind heart and charming smile. 

Former outlaw Caleb Eliason embraces his chance at a fresh start. Gone are the days of robbing stagecoaches and wagon trains. When he falls in love with the new Willow Falls teacher, he doesn’t realize they’ve met before—under much different circumstances. When his past comes to light, will it put the growing love between them at risk? 

Can forgiveness and redemption heal two broken hearts or will the past keep them from sharing a future?

My Review:

If you're a fan of sweet, historical fiction reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie or all things Janette Oke then you'd enjoy this story.

When we meet Annie she's young and traveling with her family to their new life. At the same time we meet Caleb whose path crosses with hers in a not so great way. Even in the beginning we can see Caleb's gentle heart.

The elements I enjoyed were seeing Caleb's redemption and people in his town seeing the good in the boy he was when they met him, Annie was following her dreams, and the strong faith through the characters. There was actually a surprise in the story I wasn't expecting.

It was a bit predictable and while Caleb's little sister's desire to use big words was amusing, it started to drive me crazy. There were a couple parts that didn't quite make sense (maybe add up), but I think for the story they worked.

This was my first book by the author and I look forward to checking out the rest of the series.
