Elizabeth moves west to Calgary, Canada, to teach school in a growing settlement. But the superintendent of the new district has a different idea-he intends her to marry him. After she declines his offer, he sends her to a remote area, a day’s train ride from her western family. She is to be the first teacher to this small rural community. Compared to her lavish upbringing in the East, Elizabeth struggles to overcome living in a less comfortable situation. Elizabeth becomes friends with many of the families. She meets the local Mountie, Wynn Delaney, and quickly develops a crush. After several embarrassing situations, Wynn proceeds to take her as his wife. The rest of the series tells of their life living in the far north of Canada. There are many heartbreaks for them along with many wonderful times. Lessons are learned and through everything, they strive to keep their eyes on God.
This series is encouraging. There are many struggles that they go through that are not likely to ever happen in my life. They handle circumstances with human responses that are striving to see God work in situations. Being easy to read, someone in late elementary school or middle school would enjoy reading these books.
