A sweet yes!

Did I this novela? The answer is "a very sweet yes!" It was a stroll through a time when innocence was the norm and honorable behavior expected. It reminded me of sitting by the fire with my grandma while she regaled me with tales of her courting days. Nancy370 1 follower

Quirky and original short story. Some people would find it slow but I d the feel of it. Warm and fuzzy. Barbara AnnAuthor 23 books185

Short novella of approximately fifty pages that portrays the gentle tale of two orphaned brothers living in Kansas circa 1884. Matthias and his younger brother Justus live a quiet life on their farm. One day Silas Mitchell and his wife drive up in a wagon with a strange request. They have a sick cattle drive cook that they want to drop on their doorstep. They can’t keep her on the drive and have no one to care for her. These two brothers go in the house to discuss the situation when Silas takes off in a hurry. After a few days, the woman named Grace recovers. The brothers stay in the barn to avoid impropriety and treat her with respect. She asks to stay and volunteers her services as a cook, seamstress and housekeeper.

Matthias and Justus quickly acclimate to the new situation enjoying a lifestyle lost to them since their mother died twelve years before. Soon both the boys are attracted to Grace. They learn that Grace has no real family and no one to rely on for help. Will Grace find the courage to marry one of them or will she resign herself to disappear and go back to a life of poverty? Can the two brothers sort out their individual feelings toward their new resident? When the preacher arrives for a visit, they both know the time has come for a decision.

This is a sweet tale with no profanity or sex that alludes back to a simpler time. Kind of a cross between a piece of historical fiction and romance. The book is appropriate for readers age twelve and up. Characters are amazingly well-developed in the simple plot line. Nice well-written feel good kind of book for a lazy afternoon read.

Matthias Baker lives with his brother on an isolated farm in Kansas that they inherited from their parents. He is a shy man of few words so when a covered wagon pulls up and dumps a sick young woman on their doorstep, the men work to keep her alive and move to the barn to sleep.

Grace recovers, the preacher comes and Matthias marries Grace but he waits for A Silent Yes before he makes her his wife. This is a good Christian romance set in Kansas in 1884.50-99-pages ebooks-owned historical-romance ...more Myrna (Mily) Otero21
