Book One and Three of the series: Brides of Serendipity
Today all that's left of Ragtown, Nevada is a historical market #19 by the side of the road on old route 50. In the mid-1800's, the town thrived as a stopping off place for the wagon trains before they crossed into the Sierra-Nevada mountains into California.
Ragtown is only a memory, but the pioneers who ventured west to build a nation are not forgotten.
A delightful romance and courtship between Harly Jacobs, a
resident of Ragtown, and Dory, a pioneer heading west. It is a sweet story with
the old west and its culture beautifully illustrated.

Ms. Sarah Richmond has done a great job of integrating the
people of Ragtown into a collection of sweet, easily-read love stories. The
main thing I noticed was that all three of the women were strong and had
abilities to think and act effectively. We were not subjected to the concept
that women need a man to lead. I appreciate that all three knew what was
necessary to do to get the desired outcome.
Both the main characters and their subordinate counterparts
were believable and interesting. I recommend this book to anyone who
appreciates a love story with heart.

While I loved every story in the book, Rosy really captured
my heart. Rosy is such a strong woman that I just loved getting to know her and
had to laugh at her determination to convince Matt to see things her way. This
story was an emotional one and had me angry one minute and on the verge of
tears the next.
Sarah Richmond has written a memorable book full of
wonderful characters, compelling storylines with a ‘taste’ of living and loving
in one of the small towns that played such a pivotal role in the development of
America. While I knew that this book would involve brides in this small
community, I hadn’t anticipated the difficulties the couples would face or just
how much I’d come to care about the various members of Ragtown. This is a
wonderful book especially if you’re looking for a more traditional historical
book.
