Summary
Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith, beloved authors of the Amish of Apple Grove series, team up again in an exciting new series for devoted fans and new readers.
It's 1851, and Evie Lawrence is penniless and heartbroken after a failed romance. When a kind elderly man announces his plan to move west and make his fortune, Evie jumps at the chance to go with him and start a new life. She says goodbye to the only home she's ever known and sets out for the Northwest.
There she meets Noah Hughes, a handsome young man who has gambled everything he owns on the chance to make a fresh start. Living the rugged life of a lumberjack, he too is determined to one day make his fortune. The last thing he's looking for is a bride...so why can't he get Evie out of his mind?
In this first book of the Seattle Brides series, two people learn what it means to move beyond their expectations and embrace the very best God has for them.

Library Journal Review
In 1851, headstrong Evie Lawrence jumps at the chance to head West with her elderly former employer to open a restaurant in a new town called Seattle. Along with several young women who hope to find husbands, Evie is eager to start a new life, only to find the "town" is a rough logging camp not yet suited for women or businesses. Worse, her employer's infuriating nephew, Noah Hughes, thinks she was foolish to come. But Evie is determined to succeed with God's guidance, and she might find happiness for herself along the way. VERDICT Inspired by the 1960s TV series Here Come the Brides, the coauthors of the "Amish of Apple Grove" series team again to launch a new series that combines historical figures associated with the founding of Seattle with fictional characters struggling with their faith. Fans of the authors and of historical romance will enjoy. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
