Dakota Born: An Anthology (The Dakota Series)

Buffalo Valley, North Dakota appears to be a town doomed to die in spite the courage and desire of the locals to preserve their lifestyle. Adding to the townsfolk's worries is the recent death of the schoolteacher with no replacement prospect imminently on the horizon.
The characters of Buffalo Valley...Savannah resident Lindsay,(new teacher) Gage, Brandon, Joanie, Rachael, Heath, Buffalo Bob, Merrily, and Hattie are all appealing and well developed. Their lives all entwine with each other for a very entertaining story. I was especially glad to see Lindsey and Gage finally get together and Gage's half brother Kevin get to live his dream. Was disappointed that the problems Brandon and Joanie are having did not get resolved in this book. Jeb an Maggie Rachael and Heath, Sarah and Dennis, Buffalo Bob and Merrily left me wondering.

I have been reading Debbie Macomber's books for quite a number of years and have totally enjoyed each one. She writes in such a way that you feel the characters are friends you have known forever. The Dakota series is no exception.

Anything I have read from Debbie Macomber is relaxing to read. While reading about the people in her books, they seem like your own neighbour. You can get involved in their lives, their situations, and delemmas. I have each and every one of her books, and always looks forward to the next
