From the Back Cover
Mary Malone, a young Irish woman, moves to New York in 1898 to join the father of her child. But before she arrives in America, he is killed in a mining accident, so she is forced to find employment as a maid for the wealthy Winston Kenrick and his wife. When he tries to have his way with Mary, she hits him over the head with a heavy object. Thinking she has killed him and fearing she will lose her little boy if she is found out, she runs away.
On the train going west, she meets the owner of an Idaho saloon who takes Mary under her wing and gives her a job as a bookkeeper. She falls in love with the town’s handsome sheriff. Meanwhile Kenrick has hired a private detective to find Mary and the heavy "weapon" she used to hit him--a silver box with a hidden compartment containing papers about the money he has secretly stolen from his wife.
A mining accident, a kidnapping, an explosion, and finally love revealed bring the story to the satisfying conclusion that true love can overcome anything from the past.

A sweet story, Aug 23 2004
By janlouise - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coming To America/In His Arms (Paperback)
Mary Emeline Malone is looking for everyone else is seeking - love, family and a place to call home. When in Ireland she gave her heart and body to a man who said that he loved her and promised to send for her once he got settled in America with a job. They were to be married and live happily ever-after but the situation changed when Mary discovered that she was pregnant and couldn't wait to hear from him. She set off for America on her own to search for her to-be-husband only to discover once she arrived that he had already married another and had died in a miner's accident. Now Mary is left in New York to raise her baby boy on her own. But when an employer makes advances towards her with plans to make her his mistress, Mary does the only thing she knows to do and that is defend herself from him by hitting him on the head one afternoon when interrupted from cleaning in his study. Now she fears going to jail for murder and rushes to get her baby and head get out-of-town on the next train. While on the train, she meets up with a Madame who owns a saloon in Whistle Creek, Idaho but is dying of cancer. Trusting her instincts, Mary is offered a place to live and a job as bookkeeper at the saloon and Mary agrees. The first person Mary sees when she gets off the train is Sheriff Carson Barclay of Whistle Creek and Mary realizes that she is going to be running from the law the rest of her life. She has to avoid the sheriff or possibly be arrested for murder. Sheriff Carson Barclay has nothing for the saloon/whore house and "sees red" when he realizes that the beautiful woman with a son thats getting off the train is a new "girl" for the madame. But no matter how hard he tries to stay away- Carson is drawn to her only to lose his heart to a head strong woman with an Irish lilt and a past that is soon to catch up with her.It was my first RLH book to read and is a good one though a little slow at times. The characters came to life for me and I really liked Mary and Carson but I also enjoyed the sub-characters as well. Yes, its a good story and one I would recommend it to read.

No struggle at all, July 10 2006
By S. Birdsley "grammabird" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coming To America/In His Arms (Paperback)
I couldn't disagree more with the reader who said she struggled to finish and finally gave up. When I finished this book I immediately went to amazon to order the other two books in the series. I wanted more of Hatcher. She gave me what I always look for in a novel. Good people who are human and struggle with the same types of sins that I do and evil people who either repent or pay the price.

I read only Christian novels and this is an excellent example. I look forward to more books by Robin Lee Hatcher. She's great.
