Passion and betrayal oomph across the pages of this witty contemporary romance novel. Love In Fortune Valley combines sweet and sensual tender hearts with the trials and tribulations of three generations of a pioneering family that settled in the rolling hills of the Pembina Valley in Manitoba, Canada. There would be severe droughts, spring flooding, crops ravaged by grasshoppers, magnificent sunsets, horrendous black flies, celebrations of life and death and fleeing settlers who could not withstand one more day in the land of promise that broke their souls. Hilda Tucker is a staunch Mennonite woman who gives birth to her first and only child at forty years old. She prides herself on being a married woman and a mother. She rules her roost, obeys her husband, enjoys Sunday worship, delights in the every day chores of running a household, but she could never have predicted the abrupt changes that take place in her life as her daughter, Lilly becomes a teenager. Toss in the antics of two wayward brothers, a mother who deserts her three sons, long kept family secrets, heartache, love and laughter, and you will be asking yourself if the family reunites and returns to the valley where they were born. Does Woody marry his true love and bring her home to his farm? Will all of the family secrets be disclosed? This is Book One in an upcoming Fortune Valley Series. Book Two is Return to Fortune Valley and will be available soon.
