Anyone who loves historical romances, young and old, would like reading this book.Ĭalico Christmas at Dry Creek by Janet Tronstad Even changing to wearing black was not something she seemed to want to do but something she did out of respect for her husband. ![]() Even though she seemed to completely lose herself in the task of taking care of her new family, it would have seemed more real if she had grieved a little more for the loves of her former life. What I didn’t like: I know Elizabeth was grieving the loss of her husband and daughter, but for some reason, I couldn’t see that grief. I also loved the way Jake cared about the girls even though they were his brother’s children and were part Indian, in a time when Indians were feared. ![]() Her every concern was for the happiness of the children. Several times in the story, she came up with ways to help the town’s people accept and overcome the fear of Jake’s nieces who were half Indians. What I loved: I appreciated the fact that Elizabeth tried so hard to accept and help the children Jake was raising even though she just lost her husband and daughter to the fever. Although this plot seemed very close to the plot of the book by Janette Oke, “Love Comes Softly,” I still enjoyed reading this story. ![]()
