'Prairie Rose', first in the trilogy, features a nineteen-year-old orphan in America called Rosie. The stories are set around 100 years ago.
One day Rosie is up a tree, praying, when she observes a fight. She gets involved, then ends up travelling out west to Kansas to look after a small boy, for a surly farmer.
Rosie is a superb cook, and soon settles down and makes friends in the neighbourhood. Inevitably, romance blossoms in many directions... it was all a bit predictable, but a pleasant enough read. The characters are well-rounded and believable, and the story interesting. The Christian input is not too heavy, and the settings feel authentic.
Recommended in a low-key way.
The sequels to this, which both stand alone (albeit based in the same town) are:
