Sarah Turner is a beautiful 27 Year old widow who succeeded her dead husband as a lock tenderer with 3 children ages 8, 6, 4 on the Lehigh Canal. Sarah would love nothing better than to leave the canal work permanently. It is hard, accident prone and death prone. She would love to open a bakery but does not have the money to do so. She has two men who want to marry her and suddenly propose marriage but she can not except either for one or more of 3 reasons. She wants 1. A christian Husband 2. HE can not work on the dangerous canal and 3.She must love him and he must love her and her children and dog. That is a tall order and can Sarah find this man? Plus remember in these days in a work related death or accident there was no insurance or compensation. Enjoy Sarah's adventures as one after another thing happens to her, her family and friends. This is a great work of historical fiction. This is book 3 in this series. I have posted all three books in this series Kelly's Chance, Betsy's Return and Sarah's Choice. I have found this historical fiction series fascinating because it tells of how hard and labor intensive the lives of the canal workers were and is very descriptive of the early days of the Lehigh Canal.
