Summary: LOVE COMES SOFTLY
Review: Janette Oke is my favorite writer. I love every book that I have ever read. She writes in a way that holds the interest of the reader all the way through the book. When I start a book that Janette Oke has written, I find it hard to put the book down until I have finished it. I especially loved the first series of LOVE COMES SOFTLY. A story about a young couple traveling east with a wagon train and her husband is killed addidentally. There is a man with the wagon train that lost his wife through death months before. He realizes he need someone to care for his small child. After helping bury the young woman's husband, he goes to her wagon and tells her about his problem of needing a mother for his young child and that it appears to him that she needs a man's help with her wagon. He says a minister would be coming through the next day and how they could get married and help each other. She realizes she can not make it alone and agrees to the marriage. He promises her that she will have her own living quarters and he will not be a problem to her. She falls in love with his child immediately, but it takes the whole book before she realizes she has fallen in love with him. Janette Oke always shows a strong family bond. A reader can learn and receive strength from her books and that is what makes her an excellent writer.

Summary: Awesome Book!
Review: The "Love Comes Softly" series is a magnificent series that allows you to embark on both a amazing and uplifting story. Basically this book begins when Marty (the main character of the first five books) looses her husband of just one year on a wagon train west. Left alone and by herself, Marty is approached by Clark who, just one day after her husband died, asks her to marry him. Marty is amazed that someone could be so insensitive but also realizes that she needs a place to stay until she can return to her family in the spring. Yet, Marty also needs to stay somewhere because she is going to have her first child in about seven monthes. Clark also needs a woman to watch his daughter who lost her mother just two months beforehand. An agreement is made between the two that Marty will be feed while she watches Clark's daughter, Missie (more formally Melissa). The rest of the first book tells the story of Marty, coming from a non-christian family, learning about Christ and His message. This is a magnificent book with flawed characters and an interesting setting. Books 2-8 are a continuation of Love Comes Softly and are quite unlike the usual sequel. Wheither you decide to embark on the adventure of these books or not, probably one thing you can learn is that love, forgiveness, and acceptance take time but they are certainly worth it.

Summary: Love Comes Softly 1-6
Review: These books are great! I have read 6 out of this series and hope to start book 7 this weekend. Book 5 had me crying my eyes out when Ellie helped Nandry come to terms with Clarks leg. The way the Davis family looks to God for help in everyday living not just in crisis is very cool. I myself am somewhat like how Marty was when she first met Clark. Just seeing how they grow spiritually through the years and can always see something good no matter what. I wish I was that forgiving and understanding. These books have made me look at my own life and relize I have alot of spiritual growing to do and it also let me go into a world that the values and love of a family can get you through almost anything. I wish our fast paced society would stop and look at simple things as the Davis's did. I tell everyone I know that reads to pick up this series, it will always be a lifetime favorite of mine. Must have in your collection.

Review: These Were Excellent Books! You'll absolutely love the story of Marty and Clark and how they grow to love each other! You'll also love the story of Missie, Clarks firstborn from another marriage, and how she leaves her home to start her new life with her husband Willie. These are Marvelous books and I strongly reccommend them! Out of all the books Jannette Oke has written the Love Comes Softly series is by far the best!

Review: This book tocuhed me in many ways. She lost her husband in teh beging of the book and is left by herself. So Clark asks her to marry him because he just lost his wife and has a little girl Missy who needs a mother. Clark tells Marty that he just wants her to marry him to take care of his daughter and also so she will have a roof over her head. She marries him and she never thought that she could fall in love with him or his daughter. She falls in love with his daughter right off but she doesn't realize that she is in love with Clark till the end of the book. They got married and didn't even know each other but come to find out they grew to love each other.

Summary: a wonderful book
Review: This series has started me reading again. I never thought I would read three books in one week, but I did. I felt as if I was the major character in the story. In my mind I would visualize the farm or ranch. I could see the characters. The author does a terrific job in making the characters come alive. These books takes a person back to the pioneer days and how America became the America today. I couldn't put them down. (Although, I haven't read number 2 book because it is not in my church library.) I plan on reading it and all the other books by Janette Oke.
