A Promise to Believe In (Brides of Gallatin County Series #1) Book

Gwen, Beth, and Lacy Gallatin fashion a life for themselves in the Montana wilds, operating a roadhouse that is located at the crossroads of two major stage lines. When their father is accidentally killed, the oldest sister, Gwen, reasons that she's cursed. After all, death seems to haunt her: her mother, now her father...and she was married for a mere ten days before her husband died from a bout of measles.

As Gwen and her sisters struggle to maintain the inn on their own, an unexpected visitor adds to the mayhem. Hank Bishop claims to be searching for something in the possession of Gwen's late husband. But mayhem of another sort builds in Gwen's heart as she finds a growing attraction to this man. Can she dare to hope that love might again be hers?

"Readers will enjoy the tale about these feisty sisters who aren't afraid to take on anyone who challenges their right to be in Montana. The two sisters play pranks on Hank when they feel he is threatening Gwen, which adds a dose of humor to the story. Peterson makes the wilds of Montana come alive and vividly shows the hardships of 19th century life in the area. The book stands alone for the most part, but minor threads were left open, such as the situation with the saloon owner, that are sure to be settled in the future books. For a dose of the Old West, try A Promise to Believe In."--(Vickie McDonough, TitleTrakk.com)
