Title: BELONGING
Author: Robin Lee Hatcher
Publisher: Zondervan
August 2011
ISBN: 978-0310258087
Genre: Historical
Can two bitter pasts make one sweet future?
In the high desert town of Frenchman 's
Bluff, Idaho ,
Felicia Kristoffersen has set out to create a future for herself that is better
than her painful past. Alone in the world with only her faith to sustain her,
she must prove herself as this tiny community's new school teacher. She cannot,
must not, fail. But, there are those who never wanted her there to begin with.
Five years after the death of his wife, local merchant Colin
Murphy cares about just one thing: raising his daughter, Charity. Colin wants
to give her the educational advantages he never had. The new schoolmarm's
inexperience doesn't sit well with him, and if this teacher up and marries like
the last one did, Charity's heart will be broken once again.
A woman who hasn't known love. A man who lost the love he
had.
In the midst of the wide, sage-covered plains, each is about
to discover that life's bitterest circumstances truly can work together for
good.
BELONGING is the first book in Ms. Hatcher’s series Where the Heart Lives. Felicia had a
good life in her home after she went west on the Orphan Train, but she lacked
for love. Now all grown up, she still hungers for love and friendship. Colin
loved his wife though they had their differences, and he’s tired of having
women schoolteachers come just to find a husband and quit. He thinks it’s be
better to hire a man. Still, when Felicia and Colin meet, they can’t help but
notice each other. Felicia might not be beautiful, but Colin develops cautious
feelings for her. I hoped that these two
would let go of their distrust and learn to love each other.
The book is well-written and held my interest. I enjoyed
getting to know Colin and Felicia as well as the secondary characters. I’m
looking forward to reading the second book in this series, Betrayal, which is already out. $14.99. 288 pages.

Interesting review site! Good way to know the type of book to read. I'm already hooked on Christian historical romances, and these characters certainly sound interesting. I'd love win Belonging.
I don't think I've ever read a book set in Idaho. That's the first thought that struck me as I read this post. :) Guess it's about time to change that!

I enjoy reading Robin's books and am happy to have the chance to win these. The prohibition against married women school teachers seems so odd now.
Thanks for the good review.
