These movies are a fun way to relive those memories 🙂 Looking forward to seeing Love’s Unfolding Dream, especially as I will be able to watch it with my daughters!įOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.
I had to refer to this a few times as I was reading, since so many of them had appeared in the gap between the novels.Janette Oke’s prairie stories still hold a special place in my heart as the first Christian Fiction books I read when my Grandma gave me on when I was about 12 years old. However, since there's such a gap between this book and the previous one, there is at a short opening section describing and naming all Marty and Clark's children and grandchildren. The people are all quite believable, leading to some very moving sections where I had tears in my eyes.Īll in all, highly recommended, although it helps to have read others in the series. There's a definite underlying Christian theme throughout, but it's fairly low key without being preachy. There's nothing deep in this book it's a light read, which would be suitable for older children or teenagers who like reading about this time in history. Naturally there are jealousies and disagreements, particularly when a new and rather handsome young man joins their school. Melissa is very different from Belinda, and they are both different from her other niece of similar age, Amy Jo. It's very hard for Melissa to leave her family, but Marty is delighted to have a granddaughter to stay. Meanwhile Melissa, who is Belinda's niece but around the same age, comes to live with Marty and Clark, in preparation for going away to college. As the baby of the family, she has grown up with a deep compassion, and longs to accompany her doctor brother, Luke, in his work. This one is set about twelve years after the previous book in the series (' Love's Unending Legacy') and is about their youngest daughter Belinda. 'Love's Unfolding Dream' is the sixth in the 'Love Comes Softly' series about Marty and Clark, and their various offspring. Although the author herself is Canadian, many of her books are set in the pioneer days of the USA. Her writing is good, her historical detail accurate, as far as I can tell, and certainly realistic, and her characters come to life in her books. I like reading Janette Oke's light historical fiction when I need to relax or unwind.
