Love's Abiding Joy (Love Comes Softly #4) 
Marty and Clark Davis's daughter Missie and her husband had homesteaded land in the far West, many weeks' journey away by covered wagon. But with the coming of the frontier railroad, the miles are suddenly bridged, making possible their long-awaited reunion.
Grandparents Marty and Clark are thrilled to meet their two little grandsons for the first time. Missie, anxious to hear news from home, plies her mother with questions about her brothers and sisters. And as Willie proudly shows the two visitors around his successful ranch, Missie, just as proudly, shows them the little soddy that was their original home.
But the joyful reunion is shattered by a tragic accident. Will they ever be a happy family again?
Reviewed for THC ReviewsLove's Abiding Joy is another lovely addition to the Love Comes Softly series, but unlike the first three books in the series, this one is pretty much pure inspirational, historical fiction. There's really no romance to speak of. The story is primarily a continuation of Clark and Marty's relationship as they face more trials and joys with a side helping of Willie and Missie. There are no new budding romances, and even these two married couples don't so much as share a
What a wonderful story ... a reunion between parents and child who have not seen each other for several years ... and a beautiful story of how to smile through adversity, how to let God be God, and how to trust Him for everything! Very inspirational!April 2015 ... my very favorite of the entire series. Reunion of Clark & Marty with daughter Missie ... and then a terrible tragedy, which a deep and abiding faith can turn to a deep and, indeed, abiding joy.

I absolutely love this series. It's just so heartwarming!! I love westerns and historical fiction books. So this series is one that hits on both of those loves.
I think this is my favorite book in the series so far! I always love Clark's strong faith in Christ, but I especially love his example in this book.
This was not what I was expecting, but I loved it anyway. I love watching these characters grow. <3
I think I enjoyed the third book a little more, but this one was nice too. I watched the movie last night and it was way different from the book...I hope to start the 5th one soon though :)

This is my second time reading this book. My goal is to read all 8 books this year unlike in 2012 when I only made it to about 6. This book is probably my favourite in the series so far. It's suspenseful, deals with day to day life on the Canadian prairies in pioneer times, faith, and especially how medical emergencies were dealt with back then. However, just like the 1st 3 books I have found a couple of holes in this story (Go to my reviews of the books if you want the whole rants):Book 1, theReviewed for THC ReviewsLove's Abiding Joy is another lovely addition to the Love Comes Softly series, but unlike the first three books in the series, this one is pretty much pure inspirational, historical fiction.
