Promises of free land lured thousands to stake their claim to the vast American plains. They built make-do homes and put all they had into improving the land. Very often romantic thoughts took a back burner to priorities having to do with the land. In these nine novellas, individuals are forced to encounter romance when neighbor helps neighbor, when land ownership is debated, and when natural disaster blows them off course. Readers will enjoy the adventures as God helps each land dreamer find someone with whom to share the dream—the work—and the love.

Summary
Reading a set of novellas is a bit of a gamble for the serious reader; on average the shorter stories are \"fair\" at best, but occasionally a collection is surprisingly good. \"The Homestead Brides\" falls into \"really good\" category; written by a variety of seasoned authors and sprinkled with stories from new-to-me writers, this book provided a nice diversion from full length novels and a renewed appreciation for women who followed their men into the vast unknown territories of historically uncivilized America.
