Binding: Mass Market PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 813.54 EAN: 9780778325116 ISBN: 0778325113 Label: Mira Manufacturer: Mira Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 384 Publication Date: August 01, 2007 Publisher: Mira Studio: Mira Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Setting: Buffalo Valley, North Dakota Sensuality Rating: 3 In Dakota Born, veteran author Debbie Macomber introduces readers to the town of Buffalo Valley, North Dakota, a struggling farming community. Buffalo Valley is dying. But its citizens won't give up on the town where generations have lived, loved, raised families, worked hard, and died. When Savannah-born Lindsay Snyder decides to accept the teaching position in Buffalo Valley, she brings a breath of fresh air with her. Lindsay is trying to escape a stalled romance and learn more about her family, especially her grandmother Gina, who lived her entire life in the tiny town. Buffalo Valley has its share of characters, including Hassie Knight, the matriarch of this small community; Buffalo Bob Carr, the ex-biker who won the local watering hole in a poker game; and Gage Sinclair, the handsome farmer whose roots are deeply planted in the fertile soil of this North Dakota village. But Gage refuses to believe that Lindsay will find any reason to stay so far from the bright lights of the big city she recently called home. And Lindsay despairs that Gage will never comprehend that she has the best reason to remain--love, for him. With its many story lines, Dakota Born is more novel than romance, but Macomber's loyal enthusiasts and those new to Macomber's magic touch will be rooting for the little town that won't say die. --Alison Trinkle Product Description: Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. Like so many small Midwest towns, it's dying. Stores are boarded up, sidewalks cracked, houses need a coat of paint. But despite all that, there's a spirit of hope here, of defiance. The people still living in Buffalo Valley are fighting for their town. Lyndsay Snyder is a newcomer. She's an outsider, even though she spent childhood vacations here. Now she returns to see the family house again, to explore family secrets and to reevaluate her life. To her own astonishment, she decides to stay, to accept the vacant position of teacher. Her decision marks a new beginning for Buffalo Valley and for Lyndsay, who discovers in this broken little town the love and purpose she's been seeking. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Couldn't put it downWhile I was reading this book (#1 in the series) I sent for #2 and #3. I'm just starting #3. They're all great stories to read to just be taken away to another world that you wouldn't mind being in. Rating: - Great reading!I recently read all three books in this Dakota series while my family was on vacation. I immediately was drawn into the lives of the characters and found that they seemed to "come alive". I am now sharing the books with my mom and my daughter. I think it is wonderful that these books are enjoyable reading for three generations, 30's, 50's, and even 80's. Rating: - Dakota Born (Dakota Series #1)It's a very good book. If you like Debbie Macomber books, you should like this one. I don't like to read much, but Debbie Macomber books I like very much. This book is about modern American farmer and its townspeople pulling together to make their hometown one they can be proud of.
