Actually, I found Janette Oke's "Canadian West" series to be somewhat
informative on the subject of the settlement of the frontier in Canada,
something I really had no exposure to before then. But, of course, it
being Janette Oke, it's a romance, and romance does fall under
"escapist", at least. ("Prattle" is debatable, IMO.) Having perused
the fiction section of a local Christian bookstore from around 1995
until sometime in 2000, I would agree with you on everything I examined
that *wasn't* by Janette Oke.

who hasn't actually bought anything by Janette Oke since around 1997 or
so, either.
