What does a daughter under a father's authority do when she feels her father's mandates are in opposition to God's leading? Faith, family, friendship, and love all combine in this heartwarming book. While it can be read independently of the other books in the series also stand-alones but connected , I predict you will want to find out more about the lives of these families and their descendants! The views expressed are my own. Jan 28, Maureen Timerman rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book keeps your attention right from the beginning.

LOved this prequel to the Winds Across the Prairie series! What a great idea to finally give us the background behind Mellie and Ben's amazing courtship and marriage. It was also great to "meet" Lucy's parents Amanda and Charles Bishop. As well as learn more about Ben's Aunt Clara. A wonderful read for anyone who loves the Winds Across the Prairie series. And if you haven't read the series yet START with this book! Feb 11, Lisa Nelson rated it it was amazing. Amelia's Journey by Martha Rogers I enjoyed reading this book.
It shows how others matter in a relationship. If we only consider our own wants and desires we cannot have a healthy relationship with our parents or a spouse. Rogers has introduced some interesting characters. Some rather humorous in their self absorption. I am looking forward to reading more books by her. Sep 14, Sherri rated it liked it. The book in itself was good. But found it did not sync with the details laid out in her first book of Ben and Abigail's courtship.
Book one says Ben did not want to follow in his father's business and thus leaves Boston. The prequel says that he left with his family as a child. That was only one of several errors where information did not sync with prequel and book one. Jul 04, April Suter rated it really liked it. Amelia falls for Ben, a cowboy from Kansas. They do have family connections but Amelia's family feels she needs to stay safe, follow her social duty and find an appropriate suitor in Boston.

This book is just as beautiful as the rest of the Winds Across the Prairie series! My only suggestion is that you read it first since it's actually a prequel to the series. Well in this book, Ben's father is also named Matthew, so I have to stop and think every now and then who the book is talking about when they say names sometimes!
Other than that, it's still a great book, and Martha Rogers continues to hook my attention and love for this series! One person found this helpful. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I ordered this for my wife. If she's happy I am happy.
