When Marty first travelled west, her dreams of a bright future were shattered with the death of her beloved husband.

Clark's godly patience and since faith were the divinely loving provision for Marty. Coming to peace with her God and herself is the beautifully told story of Love Comes Softly, and the books that follow develop that theme through the lives of the growing Davis family.
