About this ebook

The future stretches out in front of Sarah Dobbs like the pure blue Texas sky. Leaving the past behind in Philadelphia, mail-order bride Sarah arrives in San Antonio ready to greet her groom, Austin Canfield, a man she has never met but whose letters have won her heart from afar. But there is one problem--he has died. And Sarah cannot go back East.

As Sarah tries to reconcile herself to a future that is drastically changed, Austin's brother, Clay, struggles with his own muddled plans. Though he dislikes working on the family ranch and longs for a different life, Clay is driven to avenge his brother's death. But something between them is growing and neither Clay nor Sarah is ready to admit it.

Book 1 of the Texas Dreams series, Paper Roses will sweep readers into the Hill Country with a tale of love and loss, closed doors and beautiful possibilities that will leave them wanting more.

Ratings and reviews

It has been over a year since I read Paper Roses, but I do remember that I really liked it. I would highly recommend it, especially to women.

I loved how the characters learned to forgive others, to hate their sin committed, but forgive the sinner. How their faith and trust in God grew through their deepest hurts. And that the bad things that happened to them also caused their lives to fall in place. Lovely story. God bless Christian based writers. My new favorite genre

A little too much church and preach for my taste but an ok plot
