When Calls the Heart,
by Janette Oke, is a historical romance set in frontier Canada. A city girl from the East goes to teach school
in Calgary, where her half brother lives. Immediately assigned to a country school, she
learns to adapt to the wilds and love her sweet school children.
The whole book is a little too sweet to be real. Everyone is so nice and noble and giving
except the one school superintendant man who only has a short appearance in the
book. The hero's nearly perfect. All her students are too well behaved—and
eager to learn—to be quite believable. Still,
it's a nice, gentle, CLEAN romance, not just between a man and a woman, but
between a frontier school teacher and her new home and her humble students.

How true, how true! I am much the same way. One time I did so much research that I was almost tired of the area before I had even been there. Now I try to calm my early enthusiasm down just a bit. But it is still SO fun to anticipate!
ReplyDeleteI just reviewed by comment about Anticipation. It showed up on a book review. Sorry about that.
