Cottonwood Farm: a romance

By: Dor'y Nicolas

 

About the Book

On a farm near a small town in southern Minnesota, Jonah and Mary live with the three youngest of their seven children. Kary, now seventeen, is smart, ambitious, and pretty, but not much for dating. That reserve is shaken when the older, handsome Jake is hired by her father to paint their house.  Though they get off to a shaky start, resistance grows into interest, friendship, and finally a pure love based on trust, honesty, respect, and of course, physical attraction.  Nevertheless, challenges arise, and they find themselves pulled in different directions. Are Kary and Jake destined to part as friends, or will they be able to rekindle the flame they once had?  It all happens on Cottonwood Farm.

    Fascinating novel

    Posted by Karolin B. on Jun 1st 2023

    A truly enchanting and engaging novel which, from beginning to end, never lost my interest. I became so very involved with the characters, their heartwarming feelings for each other, their challenges in life, their anxieties, their motivations, their decisions, their incredible ways of coping with the ups and downs of life, and especially and above all, their love for each other. I very much enjoyed this enticing, absolutely spellbinding story. I hope there will be a sequel. Maybe a movie!

    Great storytelling! The characters and their dialogue kept my attention throughout. The ending came too quickly for me though. I wanted it to continue. Hopefully there will be a sequel!

    Cottonwood Farm

    Our world needs a little romance, now more than ever. This novel treats us to a love story that is honest, pure, and loving. Her writing style drew me right into the story with the way she develops her characters and describes their environment with honest humor and resolve. I have never read a book that does that so well. I was emotionally involved in such a good way. I want a sequel. I want to follow these characters through more twists and turns. Their unexpected love does not disappoint.
