Readers will be transported to the vast landscape of Montana Territory in the late 1800s where they meet Jessie Wheeler, whose husband, Seth, abandoned her before their second child was born. As a single mom and the sole proprietor of Token Creek’s general store, Jessie lives day to day with her hands full and her heart broken.

 Great story about God healing a broken marriage November 16, 2008
A moving story about a broken marriage, broken dreams, hurting people, and bad choices. God works giving second chances and healing broken relationships as only God can do.

Christian romance...
This is number three in the Big Sky Dreams series. I like this series and eagerly await book four. Jessie teaches us about our faith and about people that are not sure about theirs. When bad things happen in our lives, God is always there with us and ready to have good come out of it. God does not make the bad things happen, but he is always with us to help us through it. Sometimes we have to look beyond what is happening now and look towards the future.
The setting is Token Creek in1884. Jessie Wheeler is working in her mercantile when a stranger walks in looking for a job. She takes a chance on Seth and discovers he is a good worker he is. Eventually, they fall in love, get married, and have a little girl.
Theirs was not a happy-ever-after marriage. Problems seemed to multiply and Seth leaves. He is gone for eight years before he comes back. He has a lot of explaining to do. He didn't know he had another daughter. He wants to be part of their life. He has changed a lot in the last eight years. He has found faith in God. He wants to share that faith with Jessie.
 Not one of Lori Wick's greatest November 2, 2008

I like Lori Wick books but usually read them as a quick read, not usually expecting alot of depth. I enjoyed the first 2 books of this series but could barely finish this book. I ended up speed reading through alot of the last part of the book. I thought that the romance of Heather detracted from the main story. The book was called 'Jessie' not 'Heather'. I did not like the way Jessie treated Seth in the beginning of their marriage and after he came back, that issue was never discussed. Overall, it could have been such a better story...
 another recycled story October 15, 2008
All I could think when I read Jessie was I had read this story before. If you have read Lori Wick earlier work you will have relaized that she used this excat same story line in the Rocky Moutain Memories series, in Whispers of Moonlight, except that one was better done. Lori Wick needs to stop trying to publish a book every 6 months because they are not well done, and take more time and give us a new and original story, not a recycled story in a new setting.

I am a huge Lori Wick fan, so pretty much if she writes it, I love it! She admits herself that this book kind of trickled for her and was rather difficult to write. I think in a way you can see that toward the end. I found myself a little frustrated with the main character's stubbornness and felt like the plot moved somewhat slower. However, I loved that she brought in a character from a previous series, and redeemed him so completely! I confess that I liked Seth Redding in the Yellow Rose trilogy, but I wished then that he'd come to Christ. So to have him appear in Jessie as that man made the book for me. A definite must-read for Lori Wick fans!
