Publisher's Summary

A 2017 Bookvana Awards winner.

Sophie Biddle, an heiress on the run with a child in tow, considers herself abandoned by her family and God. Wary, self-reliant Sophie is caught off guard when meeting a kind but meddling and handsome minister at the local mercantile. 

In 1900, Reverend Ian McCormick is determined to start anew in Stone Creek, Michigan, believing he has failed God and his former flock. He works harder than ever to forget his mistake, hoping to prove himself a most pleasing servant to his new congregation and once again to God. 

While Sophie seeks acceptance for the child and a measure of respect for herself, the rumors swirl about her sordid past. Should Ian show concern for Sophie's plight, he could risk everything - including his position as pastor of Stone Creek. 

Now, the pair must choose to trust God - and forgive those who slander and gossip - or run. Will the scandals of their pasts bind them together forever or drive both deeper into despair? 

Inspirational content: Some content of an inspirational/religious nature.
