If I could spend a day with a charatcer from Love Comes Softly I would pick Marty Claridge (main character).This book is set back in pioneer time,kinda like Little House on the Prarie ,but I would like to spend time and see what it was like back in this time period.To me I think it would be fun and not having to worry about the things that we do and worry about today.Marty has been through alot,her husband has been killed and later she finds out that she is carrying his (Clems) baby. The day of his funeral this strage man comes up to her and asks if she would marry him and take care of his young child.His wife just died to,so he thought they could work something out.But if somebody came up to me,remined you a complete stranger,and asked me to marry and live with them,I would be frightened!Even to make that decesion in a day!Because the preacher was in town and they had to make the decesion fast.This was the only chance for a very long time.I wonder what was going through Martys head,i would like to know.I dont know if I could have done the things she did.Women back then had to be brave..all the time. =]
