Meghan's Choice COVER FinalistMeghan Gallagher complies with her father’s demand that she work on her own for a year by choosing to tutor eight children in a wild Kansas railroad town.

In short order, she meets a dark, handsome cowboy and a wholesome, attractive doctor who both vie for her heart. As things heat up around town, Meghan’s love life catches fire as well.

I really liked this novel. It really kept me turning the pages.  This book is a clean love story and so much more. This book made me cry and it made me angry. Yes,  I literally felt anger at one of the characters because he was making Meghan make a wrong choice.

This book would make a great movie. I believe even men would like it because it has gunfights and the background is about trying to build up a town. 

In "Meghan’s Choice" the characters, a teacher, a handsome cowboy, a doctor and a spoiled dove all must come together to save lives and the town. 

This novel clearly shows that worshiping God and attending church does not have to be done in a typical church building and that God answers prayers anywhere if you truly believe. It also clearly points out that just knowing the Scriptures and not having a heart experience with God is not enough. I know the book is more a love story but I like the fact that fiction can be life changing if you look beyond the words to find something that God is trying to tell readers. 

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are mine own.

More from Donna

Back in 2012, I wrote “Zorro” stories for Fan Fiction. I had an awful lot of fun with them, and people seemed to really like them. So, the thought came, what could I write for ‘real?’ I contemplated, prayed, and after a couple weeks or so, an idea came floating across my brain.
“Gunfight at Hyde Park.” Huh? I thought about it, and realized it was an obscure history lesson from my hometown in Kansas. I had Google it to get the details. I thought, well, I’m not gonna write a Christian romance novel just about a series of gunfights that killed and wounded more people than the OK Corral.
But I did think that the beginning of the gunfights could be the climax of the story.
Now, who should my heroine be? And the hero?
I started with that and took Christian Writer’s Guild’s Craftsman and the novel was completed in 2013—but only published in late 2017.
I’m proud of Meghan’s Choice. Pre-published it made the semi-finals of the last Operation 1st Novel that CWG held and placed in a couple of smaller contests. Last year, it made the finals of the prestigious Selah Awards for published books through the BRMCWC, and the finals of the Will Rogers Medallion Award.
My hope is that you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I loved writing it.
