Spinster Edith Vosburg may yet find love but in the most unexpected place… amidst the rubble of an earthquake.

After the death of his wife last year, Dr. George Rasmussen decides he needs a fresh start. When he interviews for a position in a small Wyoming cow town, he discovers that his late wife’s dear friend, Edith, lives there. He’s impressed by her but tells himself he’s too busy caring for his three children to consider anything more than friendship.

Edith is perfectly happy as a spinster. Or so she says. When she sees George again after so many years, she’s surprised at the spark of attraction. She puts the thought out of her head, determined not to betray her friend’s memory.

When Edith travels to San Francisco with friends and George accompanies them to collect his children, disaster strikes. Surrounded by the destruction of the massive earthquake, with fires raging all around, the two are thrown together, fighting to survive.

Yet from the devastation, emerges hope for a possible new future—one Edith has always wanted. One with a family of her own.

But only if she can let go of the past...

We're back in the small town of Lilac City, WY. This time we get to know Edith Vosburg, the sheriff's spinster sister. She lives with her brother and cooks and cleans for him. Edith hasn't found love yet, and thinks she never will--not in a small town like Lilac City. She's about to be surprised.

Dr. Charles Rasmussen has decided to accept a job as the doctor in the small Wyoming town of Lilac City. It's just what he thinks his oldest daughter needs--it will get her away from her new materialistic friends in San Francisco. He's struggling raising his children, especially a teenage girl, after the death of their mother. Maybe a fresh start will help them all.

This is a lovely story of an older couple finding love--Edith for the first time and Charles for the second time. I enjoyed the way this couple interacted. Edith had been friends with Charles' first wife and they lost touch after one of the moved. I liked how their developing feelings for each other took them both by surprise and they had to work through it.

This story also takes place in San Francisco during the time of the massive earthquake and subsequent fires. I liked how Edith kept a clear head and used everything she had learned during her life to help those around her. She knew how to take charge without being overbearing.

Another enjoyable story in thus series. I suggest that you read them in order or at least book 1 before this one.

It's nice to have a story for finding love at 40 when you never expect to.

This one is set in a very historic event which adds to the drama as well as highlights the changes for women in the west.

I enjoyed this romance about a couple who had been friends for years. When George lost his wife, he reconnected with her dearest friend, but how will his children take it?. A trip to San Francisco lands them in the middle of the 1906 earthquake and fire. Lots of excellent detail and human interaction in this story. A great read.

Edith is considered a spinster. George is a widow with three children. The interesting things is that Edith was good friends with his deceased wife until they both moved and lost touch. God's plan is always the best plan because George interviews for a doctor position where Edith now lives. Also she is traveling with friends at the same time George is going back to San Francisco to pack and move to Lilac City. Tragedy strikes while they are there, and George and Edith both help many people. There are sparks when they are together, even George's children can see the attraction. A great story!

The story included the earth quake, which was interesting. We continue from the first 4 books into this story as the final. It is fun to see the characters grow and come to discover new life. There is such a nice feel to their town and the people living there. The house-raising is so American and a good reminder that at the root of things, there is still that spirit among people. We hear of so much ugliness in the country at present, but under that we need to know that good is still very much alive.

I read this in one sitting. I didn’t want to put it down. I enjoyed the historical reference to the SF earthquake at the turn of the century and to the fire. Love history!
