Synopsis

Marrying a stranger to keep the woman's siblings out of an orphanage is one thing, but when more children than expected pour out of the stagecoach, what’s a man to do?
Nervous about meeting her fiancé for the first time, Ellie Spritzer’s lifelong hope of finding love is about to end—or rather, begin. She never imagined her quest for love would take her to the other side of the country with all eight of her siblings in tow, but after her mother dies unexpectedly, what choice does she have? At least the man she’s been writing for the past year is still willing to marry her and take in her siblings… or so she thinks until she arrives in the dusty town of Twin Rivers, Texas.
Growing up an orphan, Sam Owens never had a place to call home or a family to love. So if his wife-to-be needs to bring three of her siblings with her, he has no complaints about having a ready-made family. But his mail-order-bride doesn’t arrive with three. She arrives with eight.
Sam can’t make himself turn away children in need. But as a beginning rancher, he doesn’t have the resources to care for so many people. When sinister forces threaten the things Sam and Ellie both hold dear, can they figure out how to keep their fledgling family together, or will they lose the very things they cherish most?
Tomorrow’s First Light is the first book in the Texas Promise Series by bestselling Christian romance author Naomi Rawlings. If you like tender marriage-of-convenience stories, you’ll love this heartwarming tale filled with hope and new beginnings.

I enjoyed this mail-order bride story to the unique dusty, desert setting! If you've read the Eagle Harbor books, you'll enjoy seeing some of the same reoccurring characters, but don't worry, totally not necessary to read before starting this one, it's more like having DVD extra knowledge into the m......more

I loved, loved, loved Ellie Spritzer’s and Sam Owens story. This is my favorite book by Naomi Rawlings! I could relate to it quite a bit. I am the mother of a dozen children and only one has flown the nest so a book filled with childish antics was a pure delight. I also lived in Yuma, Arizona and ev......more

Goodreads review by Kathy on February 24, 2019

TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE Once again, Ms. Naomi Rawlings has wowed me with another book, a new series that is a spin-off from her Eagle Harbor series. The story is a clean Christian story with Godly principles, human emotions, troubles from the past, and new beginnings and a future. The story is not pr......more
