Book 3 After the Storm: The Founding Years, Mar 18 2010
By Anita Draper "wreader (writer/reader)" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kansas Courtship (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was adorable. Victoria stayed true to form by writing a fallen hero struggling to stay strong, but the story had a light feeling attributed to a few scenes which had my family asking why I was chuckling as I read.
After the storm, people had died from lack of a skilled doctor yet no one suitable had applied. Zeb Garrison, who helped found the town, is certain the only thing that could be worse than the other applicants was if a woman applied--and no way was he letting one try. Let's just say he's a mite angry when the new applicant, who signed as Dr. N. Mitchell, turns out to be a Nora. Sparks flare and voices raise as propriety battles necessity. Throw in an instant attraction for each other and you have story that's delightfully entertaining, profoundly emotional and satisfying in its conclusion.
After the Storm: The Founding Years: This series is about a new town in High Plains, Kansas Territory which suffers a tornado strike. Each book has different characters and yet they're interwoven into the High Plains community. Each book is a stand-alone (except for the missing children thread) and yet together they tell a beautiful story of the integrity and stamina of early Americans faced with destruction and having to rely on their own resources.

Amazing book, April 20 2011

I absolutely loved this book. I read the first half of this book in one day and if I had had another free day I would have finished it in two days. I loved both Nora and Zeb. I liked how Nora did not use her first name in answering the ad for the doctor. I think it was such a shame that women had to fight to do anything in that time but am glad that some people accepted women as equals. I could not put this book down and enjoyed it until the last page. This was the first book I read from The After the Storm series, now I am going to have to find the rest of the series.
