One of the fines crossover stories every written, LOVE COMES SOFTLY has tremendous appeal and an inspiring message for readers of every age, and every life situation. It is a story about the enduring power of faith and love, and the ability to heal and survive even the most devastating losses. Many other reviews detail the plot of this story, so I will make a few other points. Author Janette Oke, humbled by the enormous response she received to her story and characters, continued to write of Marty and Clark and their family until both of the original main characters were into ripe, old age. Janette said in an interview that she simply did not want to see Clark and Marty die, so she stopped weaving their family tale after book 12 (see series order below).All of the stories are wonderful, but in my opinion, books one through four are superior, and the first book, LOVE COMES SOFTLY, is outstanding.IMPORTANT NOTE: Ms. Oke REVISED her series in 2003, to reflect slightly more modern vocabulary and context, in order to increase reading comprehension for those who do not know vernacular and colloquialisms of the mid-nineteenth century pioneer era. While the revisions certainly make the story more accessible to many, I feel that part of the charm and authenticity present in the original 1979 version have been a bit reduced. I was able to find a copy of the original 1979 release, and enjoyed this version a bit more. For the average reader, the story will not suffer; history and period piece buffs may want to try to find the original. Ms. Oke revised a number of the titles in the series as she saw fit, again only for vocabulary and comprehension, not for content.
