Book 1 - After the Storm: The Founding Years, Mar 18 2010
By Anita Draper "wreader (writer/reader)" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: High Plains Bride (Mass Market Paperback)
Valerie Hansen pulled me into the story by her poignant portrayal of a young woman who feels the need to stay and protect her family rather than go find one of her own. And she's written a hero whose generosity overwhelms everyone, including himself but that's because he puts the needs of others ahead of his own.Emmeline Carter is in a wagon west of the town when the tornado strikes. They were supposed to be part of a wagon train but when the rest of the wagons stopped to circle due to the approaching storm, Emmeline's mean-spirited father pushed his family onward, alone. Caught on the open prairie without adequate shelter, the family suffers devastation and loss of life. With an ailing mother and sister, missing children and a deceased father, Emmeline needs to take charge and figure out what to do. Fast.
When the storm passes, town founder Will Logan walks among the destruction offering comfort to the shocked citizens. Knowing the tornado headed west, his thoughts are on the pretty woman he met earlier in the mercantile before the wagons left. When he's certain everything's being done that needs it, he decides to put his mind at rest. The wagon train wreckage only heightens his worry, especially when he hears she's not among them. Another problem crops up once he finds her trying to flip the wagon right-side-up... now that he's found her, what's he going to do with her?
Valerie brings these two strong characters together and challenges them emotionally and spiritually as they try to figure out why God would allow this to happen. A very satisfying read.

High Plains Bride-Worst of the series, April 16 2012
By Karen A. Peale "gerken" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have decided that I just don't like this author's style of writing. I've read other books by her and they just lack something for me. Way too much private thinking and not enough action. Seriously I skipped pages of thinking. The heroine "plum wore herself out" with all that thinking. It was depressing and I forced myself to finish the book since I paid for it. I wish I hadn't that is for sure. I've read other books by this author and they always seem to lack something. I bought this book because I like the "After the Storm" series, but I didn't need to read this book to know the history. I should have stuck with the other two books and left it alone.
