Where it all began…

Lydie Beauchamp recently moved with her aunts—sisters Myrtle and Fern—to the untamed Wyoming Territory. When a teaching position in nearby Willow Falls captures her attention, can she leave her aunts, one of whom just suffered a broken heart, and embark on this new adventure? Will she find the courage to persevere in the midst of challenges, one being a handsome challenge named Solomon Eliason?

Reverend Solomon Eliason has the goal of making a difference. Hired as the pastor of Willow Falls, he must convince the congregation that he is able to undertake the role of a reverend. When he’s nominated to be the adult in charge of the annual prank tradition at the school, he embraces the idea, thinking the new teacher will be an elderly crotchety woman like his former teacher. What he doesn’t realize until it’s too late is that the teacher is far from crotchety and elderly.

When Lydie’s and Solomon’s paths cross in an unexpected way during the prank tradition at the Willow Falls school, can Solomon redeem himself in the eyes of the lovely new teacher?

Take a glimpse into where it all began with Lydie and Solomon’s story in this tender tale that reminds us that God can and does use willing hearts for His purposes.

More from Penny

Stagecoach etiquette, a casket for sale in the mercantile, and mock turtle soup were just a few of the items included in Love’s New Beginnings. Research is always fun for historical novels, and I even discovered that some people ate skunks back in the “olden days.” Not a regular delicatessen, but they did eat them on occasion. After reading about the ingredients for mock turtle soup and discovering about skunks for dinner (aka supper), I’m even more grateful for enchiladas and regular plain ol’ hamburgers. Historical romance novels are a delight to read, but is Love’s New Beginnings the book for you?

My Thoughts

 Love’s New Beginnings is written by Penny Zeller. This book is the prequel to the Wyoming Sunrise series. I have read the book after this, Forgotten Memories. It was fun to get the Reverand and  Lydie's story. I love reading books by this author. She always does such careful research to bring history to life. This book drew me in within the first few pages. It is beautifully written. This book is set in 1869. 

Lydie and Solomon both want to make sure that they are following God's will. Lydie had come to Wyoming Territory with her aunts. She sees a teaching job in a nearby town that would cause her to leave her aunts. She wrestles with this decision. Solomon has become the new pastor in Willow Falls. He has a lot to prove that he is capable. He becomes nominated to be the adult in charge of pranking the new teacher. What could go wrong?

I loved seeing their story. They are such fun refreshing characters. I love how they both wanted to follow God's lead so strongly. This series is such a great historical read. The characters are well written, the storyline engaging. Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
