Amelia's Journey (2011)
“He declared his love for her, but doubt still riddled her thoughts about him. Most men wanted a son to carry on the family name or a daughter who would grow up as the apple of his eye. In the six weeks since Ben had returned home to Kansas, all four of his letters had expressed the same love he’d declared for her before he left. He’d even told her that he had the land and the materials to start building the house he planned for them. So why couldn’t she believe he really did love her?
At least ...Papa no longer objected or complained when she turned down suitors who had asked for permission to call on her, but he hadn’t as yet said whether or not they would be going to Kansas either. The uncertainty ate at Amelia until she no longer enjoyed the social activities she did attend.
