She continues to correspond with Captain Rich O'Brian, who now works for the Union Pacific. When they meet again, romantic sparks fly, but Rich's past still looms between them. Will competing interests keep Jordana and Rich apart...or bring them together?
From Library JournalIn the conclusion to the popular "Ribbons West" trilogy (Westward the Dream, Separate Roads), Jordana Baldwin yearns to travel since her sister Victoria is now happily married and settled down. When her letters home are picked up by an Eastern newspaper under the byline "J. Baldwin," she seizes her chance to go undercover investigating the competition between the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Railroads as they race to complete the first transcontinental railway. In disguise, Jordana takes to the rails as her fictitious brother "Joe" and soon runs into an old friend, Capt. Rich O'Brian. As Jordana struggles with her newfound feelings for Rich, he is tormented by his first wife's death and vows never to care so deeply for another. By placing their faith in God, Jordana and Rich find a common ground. Though the premise of the beautiful Jordana passing herself off as a man is too much of a stretch, fans of the series will enjoy this wrap up.
