About the Book
Author: Caryl McAdoo
Genre: Historical Christian Romance
Release date: September 3, 2021
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains the Lord’s favor . . . is the reverse true?
Can a romance born of prophesy thrive? Autumn Hope knows for a fact that the man she’s to marry cuts timber in the Sulphur River bottoms. She’s seen him in her dreams—exactly where he’s working and goes so far as to buy that block. Of course, she convinces her father she must travel the hundred and fifty miles to meet the man of her dreams. If he isn’t to be her husband, why would she kiss him in her night vision?
The lady’s sudden appearance baffles Sean. Craziness needs a keeper, but how did she ever find him or know his crosscut saw would break? Wounded by a lost love, he cannot believe the tall tale the pretty lady is spinning. It has to be a scam, right? God doesn’t work that way. Or Does He?

My Thoughts:
This was an intriguing story about a young woman who has had dreams of the man she is going to marry many times in her life. Now at the age of twenty-eight, Autumn Hope knows exactly where to find him. Her family knows of her gift and though not wanting her to travel alone, finally relent and let her go on her way.
Now the man she is destined to marry is Sean O'Farrell who is working alone chopping trees. Now imagine his surprise when this woman comes looking for him, doesn't know his name, but seems to know him anyway. He doesn't know what to think of this odd but beautiful woman and he's not sure he should be interested or not.
This was their story with twist and turns and Autumn's dreams and visions are definitely of the supernatural. Autumn's and Sean's meeting and followed courtship bring many changes and growth to their lives and to their family. Even another romance.
Author McAdoo's characters are always a bit out of the box but I enjoy that and in her writing she brings joy and honor to God within her stories.
I received a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to give a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
About the Author
More from Caryl
In 1870, my TEXAS TIMBERS heroine Autumn Hope found herself practically an old maid. She’d spent those years when most would be courting taking care of her mother, who was ill and dying. It hadn’t been long since Liberty’s death when the story opens, but Autumn had one of her prophetic dreams—God had shown her a man and assured her He would answer her prayers for a husband.
Readers first met Autumn at her birth in book two, TEXAS MY TEXAS. She had her first prophetic dream in book four, LEAVING TEXAS, at the age of nine. Distraught over her older sister Charity leaving to live in California, the Lord gave her reassurance that her sister would be back to live in Texas, and that she and her new husband would build a hotel in Dallas!
All my readers love Morgan and Charity Lowell and all the adventures they have at the Lowell House Hotel! This is the first time though that God has given her a dream about herself. She knows what the man looks like and exactly where he’s working, but not his name. Still, she is determined to go and find him!
Can you imagine this man . . . a lady hunting him down in the woods while he’s working then telling him he’s going to be her husband? That she’s going to be his wife? Because God said so!
Poor Sean O’Farrell! He was so perplexed by the crazy lady! Oh, his mother prayed plenty and spouted God’s Word at him all the time, but he and the Big Guy . . . they hadn’t been tight in years.
TEXAS TIMBERS is a fun story and not like any I’ve written before! Readers will enjoy reuniting with Morgan and Charity, Henry and May Buckmeyer (from my first family saga), Corbin—Autumn’s father, and so many more of these great characters who so easily worm their way right into your heart . . . at least they did mine! I hope you’ll enjoy it! As always, I pray my story gives God glory!
