Longing for Home: Hope Springs by Sarah M. Eden 
"Katie Macauley gave up her lifelong dream of returning to Ireland in order to make a home for herself in Hope Springs, Wyoming, but her future has never been so uncertain.
Katie’s heart still remains sharply divided between playful Tavish and steady Joseph, though she feels ill-prepared to make a decision. Furthermore, the town is more divided than ever with both the Irish and the Reds stealing property, burning buildings, and endangering lives. In the midst of the growing unrest, temperatures drop quickly, too quickly, and Irish nightmares of famine and cold resurface as the little Wyoming town struggles to beat the harsh winter.
Katie makes one sacrifice after another to keep the peace and help see her loved ones through the difficult days ahead, but will her efforts be enough? Can the town make amends before their hatred consumes them all? And will Katie find the love she has been searching for as well as a home to call her own?" (summary from publisher's website)
The sequel to Longing
for Home, continues the story of Katie McKauley, an Irish immigrant who
accepts a housekeeping job in a divided Wyoming town. I felt like Hope Springs
was a really satisfying read. After Longing
for Home was over I really was annoyed about how the whole love triangle
was set up. By the end of the Hope
Springs I felt like the author put a unique spin on the whole trope. I felt
like Eden took advantage of the triangle to take an honest and comparative look
at two different romantic relationships.
This allowed reader to discover along with Katie what a relationship
based on true love looks and feels like. I really enjoyed both the main characters and
all the side characters too. I wish Eden would do a book with some of the more
prominent minor characters because they all have interesting stories too.
