520    Seven romance stories take you back to the building of the
       Erie Canal and the opening of the Midwest to greater 
       development. Completed in 1825, the Erie Canal connected 
       the Great Lakes to the Hudson River, and soon other states
       like Ohio created canals linking Lake Erie to the Ohio 
       River. Suddenly the Midwest was open to migration, the 
       harvesting of resources, and even tourism. Join seven 
       couples who live through the rise of the canals and the 
       problems the waterways brought to each community, 
       including land grabs, disease, tourists, racism, and 
       competition. Can these couples hang on to their faith and 
       develop love during times of intense change? The Way of a

       reach him. Digging for Love by Ramona K. Cecil Rochester,
