Historical Inspirational Romance
Rating:
For Katie Shelton, life has become steadily grimmer since her family left Pennsylvania
to settle in South Dakota. Finally only she and her father are left, and he is suffering from
depression. Now Katie has nearly died in the fire that destroyed their little home. This
leaves them dependant upon the charity of Denver Holt which Katie finds intolerable. He
is handsome, kind, and worse yet a doctor. Since her mother’s death, Katie has put
more faith in “granny medicine” than in “diploma” doctors. The fact she finds Dr. Holt
fiercely attractive only makes matters worse.
Denver Holt admires Katie’s beauty and spirit. He is distressed over her hardships.
When he rescues her from the fiery ruins, he hopes he will have an opportunity to prove
his love. Besides, his motherless young daughter needs a new mother. The little girl is
already a staunch admirer of Katie’s having been one of her pupils in the local school.
Katie finally agrees to a marriage of convenience but soon doubts her ability to live this
painful lie. She feels sure her husband does not love her, which is breaking her heart!
Denver and Katie are wonderful characters, vibrant, and sympathetic. The stark
conditions of South Dakota winters become vividly real in this emotionally powerful
romance. While there are no love scenes, the sexual tension is clearly felt and the
external conflicts add to the couple’s problems. This sweet, gentle romance is a perfect
example of a traditional romantic story and suitable even for teenagers. The
inspirational aspects are handled subtly so they enhance the story, suitable to the time
period portrayed. Katie’s Tomorrows is the sequel to Katie’s Song.
