By: Sarah M. Eden

Twenty-six-year-old Katie Macauley has placed all her hope in Hope Springs, a small town in the 1870 Wyoming Territory. But if she wants to return home to Ireland to make amends with her estranged family, she’ll need to convince the influential Joseph Archer to hold true to his word and keep her on his payroll as his housekeeper - despite her Irish roots. The town is caught in an ongoing feud between the “Reds” - the frontiersmen who would rather see all the Irish run out of town and the Irish immigrants who are fighting to make a home for themselves in the New World.

When Joseph agrees to keep Katie on ash is housekeeper, the feud erupts anew, and Katie becomes the reluctant figurehead for the Irish townsfolk. As the violence escalates throughout the town, Katie must choose between the two men who have been vying for her love - though only one might be able to restore hope to her heart.

Clean story. Kept my interest

it is so refreshing to listen to a novel and know that I will not be assaulted with foul language profanity or unwanted sex scenes. This would have been five stars except that the author tried so hard to get the reader to dislike the very character that the heroine ends up choosing, that it was hard to get the this reader to be glad about the ending.

Warmed my heart

and I couldn’t put it down, so glad there are 5 more in the series!

Sweet story

Loved the narration! It made the story ever more real! The story was sweet and lovely

One of the best!

The narrator is absolutely amazing for this novel. The story made me laugh, cry, smile, and laugh some more. Excited to move onto book 2 and discover more about the characters ofHope Springs.

Very Entertaining

This was a good, entertaining book. It dragged on at times, but it was worth it. The characters and setting was well thought out. I would recommend this book.

Sweet story, engaging.

Well worth the listen, will look for other books by this author. Job well done!

wonderful story. wish that it would continue more.

Wonderful book. Wish they would continue with another book. Possibly her going back home. Boston right before she gets married, her fiance dies. through morning and loss, her mother comes to her. Then she finally mary's joseph's.

sweet romance

Great story and the performance was terrific!!
I was swept right in and had a hard time putting it down. I appreciated the history between the Irish and English. I am assuming the sequel has closure with Katie's family in Ireland.

Enjoyed book, even though I'm not a romance fan.

If you could sum up Longing for Home in three words, what would they be?

Held my interest.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Joseph because his struggles were as big as any ones but he deals with them in a manner best for the community instead of himself.

To have found a love unsurpassed...

Ms. Eden, being of Irish decent, these characters made me see another side of the hope instlled to those who faced such prejudice and hatred. "Irish need not apply", indeed! I love this book and thank you for sharing these people, your characters, with me.
