Wyoming Territory, 1884 - This story picks up 7 months after the previous
book ends. Bryan Whittsett has just been
released from jail for his part in duping the town. His wife, Leah, has been struggling to make
ends meet and come to terms with her injuries and scars. When he returns, her resentment won't allow
her to accept him back. As Christmas
draws near, he is desperate to regain her acceptance and her love. The town
won't hire a convicted felon and Bryant genuinely wants to turn his life around
and surrender to God. Additionally, his
daughter, Ava, is having marriage problems of her own; after giving birth to a
daughter six months prior her husband, Oliver, has grown distant.
"God... She closed her eyes.
It's been so long since she prayed.
She didn't deserve to be heard, and yet... The problem is I don't want
to do this. I don't feel like it at all."
"Making no attempt to wipe away the tears dripping down her cheeks,
she spent the next hour listening to Bryant's breathing while praying for a new
heart, a heart that overflowed with desire for her husband."
This story moved right along, with a real struggle and the yearning that couples
feel to be loved and accepted despite pain and disappointments. There is also a charming Christmas play. 🎄
