Abby Carter's husband, William, passed away in a railroad accident. Having been more of a dreamer than a farmer, he left her with debt that she cannot keep up with. She's already sold her most valuable possessions to keep up, but then Doc Rachel comes in with a proposal that Abby cannot refuse. Caleb Gentry's wife, Emily, passed away while giving birth the night before, and now Baby Betsy needs a wet nurse. Abby thinks that perhaps this is the answer to her prayers.

When Caleb Gentry's wife passes away, he knows he needs help to raise his baby daughter. Doc Rachel suggests a wet nurse. What he didn't expect was Abby, with her loving spirit, strong faith, warm heart, and her two kids.

Negative gossip about Abby and Caleb living in the same house has the townspeople talking. Wanting no one to say a bad thing about Abby, Caleb's answer is to marry her. Now he has a wife and three children, and the thought terrifies him. He doesn't know what to do with children, but Abby makes him want to be a better man. He has never had an easy life, making his new family work is his most important challenge yet.

I love WOLF CREEK WEDDING. It is so sweet and enjoyable, and the characters are amazing. You just can't help but relate to them. It is also amazing the transformation this family goes through. WOLF CREEK WEDDING is the first book by Penny Richards I have read, and I really enjoyed it. I will certainly be looking for more of her books.
