Seven romance stories take you back to the building of the Erie Canal and the opening of the Midwest to greater development.
This Collection includes Johnnie's novella, "Journey of the Heart," set in Circleville and Chillicothe, Ohio in 1852.
Completed in 1825, the Erie Canal connected the Great Lakes to the Hudson River, and soon other states like Ohio created canals linking Lake Erie to the Ohio River. Suddenly the Midwest was open to migration, the harvesting of resources, and even tourism. Join seven couples who live through the rise of the canals and the problems the waterways brought to each community, including land grabs, disease, tourists, racism, and competition. Can these couples hang on to their faith and develop love during times of intense change?
