Dear Mrs. Osborne,
Some of your other novels have made my “Best of” lists. You wrote westerns and stuck with the genre even when it fell out of favor. You never tried to incorporate the latest “trend” in your books but wrote about basically decent, honest people working hard and trying to make a living. “The Bride of Willow Creek” has many of these elements in it but suffers from the plot set up and the story resolution.
Angie Bertoli and Sam Holland fell in love as teenagers, eloped then were separated by Angie’s father who felt that Sam would never amount to anything. Sam headed west and for ten years they were married but not married. Now, Angie’s parents are dead, she has a man who wants to marry her and all she needs is a divorce. Her problem is that she has no money. So she shows up expecting Sam to have struck it rich in the mines of Colorado and be able to 1) pay for the divorce and 2) support her in a separate household for a year until the divorce comes through. Does she write to him ahead …
This is the third book of yours I’ve read. Do I detect a slight shift towards women’s fiction with this one?
