NOTE: This first contribution (Clara’s Compassion) is book 1 in Marlene Bierworth’s new series. It will kick off the “Mountain Railroad Brides” Christian romance series with more adventures added later in 2025 and beyond. Note; it was one of the titles offered in the 2024 time-limited boxset collection (Once Upon a Courtship) that has since been taken down, allowing each author to republish their stories independently. Even if you read it previously, you will still want to get it at this low price to make your future downloads to your library a complete series.
