Sixty Acres and a Bride by Regina Jennings


Widowed Rosa and her also widowed mother in law return to Texas after the death of their husbands.  They intend to take over the homestead that was leased while they were in Mexico, but when they arrive they find that the taxes have not been paid and that they owe $160!  What an outrageous amount of money for two women to raise in a short period of time.  Can they do it?  Can they raise enough money to save the ranch and their dreams?

Rosa is such a vibrant character who sticks out like a rose in a bunch of dandelions.  She is very discouraged by the constant blunders that she makes because of her cultural ignorance.  I made me realized how difficult it would be to immigrate and try to fit it.  Rosa is hard working and loving though and that makes up for her many blunders.

Weston is Rosa's cousin in law, he is a widower with a heap of guilt piled on him about the way his wife died.  He feels that he cannot love again because he fears he will be the cause of an other's death again.  However, he was captivated like I was with Rosa's vibrancy.  Yet Rosa herself feels she is unworthy of love.  Can Rosa and Weston get over themselves to find love?  You'll have to read to find out and you will not be sorry that you did!
