Michigan Brides Collection

by Jody Hedlund 3 books in this series

The Michigan Brides Collection brings together three standalone romances set at different turning points in Michigan history. The books move from the War of 1812 on Mackinac Island to immigrant farming communities and the late nineteenth-century lumber boom, using regional industries and conflicts to create distinct tests of loyalty and survival.

Although the novels do not share characters, they are united by women who must act decisively within unstable communities. Christian conviction challenges exploitation, prejudice and despair, while romance grows through shared work, moral courage and the willingness to build a secure home in difficult circumstances.
