In "Waiting For Morning" I was transported back to the year 1896. Life hadn't been easy for Molly Hatfield and her brother Donny. Their parents are dead, and Donny is bound to a wheelchair, something that Molly blames herself for. She works in a saloon and takes care of Donny the best that she can, but when a fire causes them to lose the only home they have she knows she will have to do something else. Unfortunately finding a job isn't such an easy thing to do, so when she learns of a job opening in Arizona where a ranch owner is looking for someone to take over the management of his ranch in return of owning it in the future,she jumps at the chance. Working on The Last Chance ranch is far from easy but Molly is determined to make it work. As if she doesn't have enough on her plate the towns unmarried doctor takes an interest in her and Donny. Will she find what she was looking for at The Last Chance Ranch and realize that God has something great in store for her and Donnie?
A very enjoyable historical read. I found myself totally drawn to the character of Molly. It was easy to see that she sincerely loved her brother Donny. There are several secondary characters that really move the plot of this story along. I also enjoyed the story of Orbit and Magic and think there appearances really enhanced the story. As a historical fiction this was an engaging story that I would recommend.
A complimentary copy of this book was provided in exchange for an honest review.
