Synopsis

The year 1865 starts out as a nightmare come true for Jessica Bennett. Even though she is with child–an answer to heartfelt prayers–the cattle she and her husband, Jake, fought to save from drought the summer before now face the threat of freezing to death. Her fears worsen when Jake contracts pneumonia.

Springtime brings trials of a different kind–the snowmelt causes the ranch to thrive so much that Jake must sell off the last of their cattle to make room for their horses and the young foals to be born. In the meantime, Jess endeavors to recover her rightful inheritance, which mysteriously disappeared from the bank. When she discovers a link between the banker and a group of murderous Unionists, who continue to target Southerners even though the war is over, Jake launches an undercover investigation.

The conspiracy runs deeper and wider than either of them could have imagined. Jess must put her life–and the life of her unborn child–at risk to stop the ringleader and save the lives of many others. Yet, Jess refuses to give up hope in the God she serves–a God of love who often provides above and beyond our greatest dreams.
