“Saving Susannah Jones” by Carolyn Frank

“Saving Susannah Jones” by Carolyn Frank

This story was set in the Colorado plains during 1890s and follows the story of Susannah and her brothers. After a tragic fire, Susannah finds herself needing help and no where to go. She meets some kind towns people who take her in and show her love and kindness even when her family shows her none.

I loved the simpleness of the story line and characters. It was enjoyable to read about Susannah and Josephs lives and them getting to know each other thru service and kindness. I liked reading about their farm and the day to day activities during that time period.

Good steady plot, historical fiction with clean romance-would recommend!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the book:
In the still of a cool Colorado evening, the Circle J Ranch house burns to the ground, leaving Susannah Jones and her two brothers orphaned and homeless. Embittered by the tragedy, Susannah’s older brother grows increasingly cruel, leading Susannah to make the difficult choice to leave the last of her family behind to forge a new life for herself. It is the kindness of Dr. Kate, the woman physician in town, as well as a chance meeting with a rugged homesteader that give Susannah the strength she needs to escape.

When Joseph Iverson encounters the harassed young woman on his land one day, he has no thought but to provide the assistance she so clearly needs. Overcoming his shyness, he takes Susannah under his wing and agrees to a marriage of convenience to liberate her from her brother. As the pair works side by side, their mutual admiration deepens. But their happy existence is threatened all too soon by a series of “accidents” on the farm. With danger looming ever closer, Susannah and Joseph must discover who is bent on their destruction before the life and marriage they’ve built together goes up in flames.
