Flower of Seattle (Frontiers #1)

Two courageous young people leave home, both
seeking new beginnings in untamed Washington Territory

Orphaned and heartsick, fifteen-year-old Brian O'Rourke stows away on a ship bound for America during the Irish Potato Famine. After many adventures at sea, the Irish lad--now a man--reaches Seattle and begins to put down roots.

Heather Templeton refuses to marry at her tyrannical father's command. Literally a prisoner in her own home, she escapes and takes passage on Asa Mercer's "Boatload of Brides." It's a long way from Boston to Seattle, where Heather's twin brother and "Blarney" O'Rourke await her coming.

Will the God Who can move mountains far higher than majestic Mount Rainier care for and protect Brian and the Flower of Seattle as they struggle to overcome seemingly-insurmountable obstacles on the rocky road to love and happiness?
