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.

My thoughts on Love’s New Beginnings
Love’s New Beginnings is a wonderful historical fiction novel that takes place prior to two other novels I’ve read and loved! This comes before Forgotten Memories which I’ve had the pleasure of reading and reviewing as well.
I love this author and her historical fiction novels. They bring you back in time and keep you there. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to realize you’re really still here in the modern day when you pop out of the book to resume normal life!
Okay, the actual book. I laughed so much! A preacher was charged with doing a prank on the new school teacher. First, why is this a tradition that adults do? And second, hilarity ensues!! Of course, the new school teacher is not an old and cranky lady but instead a young woman new to the community!
Let the games begin! Oh my. It read so fast! I would definitely read this one again!
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received through Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

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 traditional delicatessen, but they did eat them on occasion. After reading about the ingredients for mock turtle soup and discovering 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?
