MORNING FOR DOVE, book two in the Winds Across the Prairie series, finds us in Oklahoma territory with a down-trodden Luke Anderson. As he watches the love of his life marry another, his eyes are suddenly open to the beauty of Dove Morris. Dove has been in Barton Creek all along, but Luke only had eyes for Lucy Bishop. All that is about to change.
Dove Morris has always been smitten with Luke Anderson, but knew nothing could come of it due to his mother’s prejudice against her Native American heritage. Though Mrs. Anderson is a wonderful Christian woman, she can’t forget the tragic day an Indian raid massacred her family.
Even though Luke knows of his mother’s feelings, he begins to pursue Dove, choosing to put the complications of racial lines aside for the moment. But, Mrs. Anderson is not the only person in town who’s made her negative feelings known. The Fowler family does not approve of the Morris’ and will do anything to see them ruined.
MORNING FOR DOVE is a love story that addresses prejudice and cultural boundaries, along with the need for children to show respect and obedience to their parents even when their views might be wrong. MORNING FOR DOVE was an enjoyable read though a little slow at times.
Book provided for review.
