Sarah comes with secrets that bring trouble to the young romance that is developing and Briggs has his secrets too that add to their difficulties finding happiness. The problem involves a complicated legal problem, a violent and dangerous ex, a locust storm and a brother that is willing to help solve all the problems when Sarah and Briggs finally begin to communicate and trust each other.
This is great historical romance with a strong man and woman braving starting a life together on the Western frontier of Kansas in a shod hut.
The characters are good except one thing. Briggs is deeply insecure and possessive of Sarah, and although a little bit of that is ok, every time anything happens where he could doubt her intentions (despite her having repeatedly and consistently proven her commitment through her actions) he does. He goes right into insecure mode and it’s a bit of a turn off. Other than that, it’s a great story.
Still, they're working things out until Sarah's past catches up with her.
I was enjoying the story up until this part, but then it just made Sarah seem too silly. I finished the story (it's an easy read) but I lost some of my enthusiasm.
The Audible narrator does a very nice job reading the audio version.
Briggs is not very nice to his new bride; and Sarah starts the relationship by lying to Briggs often. She is determined to be a good wife and helper, and just prays he never finds out about her past. Lots of twists to this story. It appears like they will never learn to trust and love each other.
The traumas and difficulties of living on the plains of Kansas are well described; also, the emotions of Sarah and Briggs are so overwhelming to them both, we get a strong understanding of their lives.

The main theme running through the book is lack of trust. Sarah has secrets ( obviously) or there would be no story. But by but they come out and each time they do Arthur's trust dips and sways.
I submit reviews based on the story not editing or spelling just if I liked the story or not.
It could have been fleshed out more into a longer story but I’m not at all disappointed with what was presented.
